Chapter 4: Troubleshooting
When GD-101 can not be turned on or does not work properly,
Please check if the battery is installed correctly.
It requires more time to get GPS fix while GD-101 is moving. Please
keep GD-101 stationary when powering on GD-101. This will shorten
the time to get a GPS fix.
Keep GD-101 away from excessive moisture and extreme
temperatures. Do not leave it in the closed vehicles or put it under
direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Excessive moisture and
extreme temperatures may damage the GD-101.
If the date and time is not correct, please select the local time zone in
the time zone setting. Ie PST GMT -8 / Taiwan GMT +8
Do not put GD-101 near the magnetic objects like electric appliances
or magnets. The magnetic objects may cause the GD-101 point to
wrong direction.
If the pointed direction is not accurate, please adjusting the electronic
compass.
