For your safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.
GPS satellite signals cannot typically pass through solid materials (except
glass). GPS location information is not typically available inside buildings, tunnels, or underground parking lots.
A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to calculate your GPS position.
Signal reception can be affected by weather events or overhead obstacles (e.g.
dense foliage and tall buildings).
Other wireless devices in the vehicle may interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.
Adapter
Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside.
Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.
Do not use the adapter if the cord becomes damaged.
Connect the adapter to the proper power source. The voltage requirements are
found on the product case and/or packaging.

2.2 Mounting the Drive GPS 140 in your vehicle
The Drive GPS 140 comes with a car mount kit and a car charger to help install
your device in your vehicle. The car mount kit uses a suction cup on the windshield to offer flexible mounting options for the Drive GPS 140
War ning: Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device on
the vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before installing the car mount bracket. Please check all local laws
before setting up the navigation device in any vehicle.
Occassionally, GPS signal reception is obstructed when the device is mounted
in the car. In this case, an external GPS antenna is needed to connect to the
device. The antenna connector is located at the top back part of the Drive GPS
140.
2.2.1 To set up the device on your vehicle:
This section shows how to install the car mount kit in your vehicle’s windshield
using the suction cup. The Drive GPS 140 uses a snap on mounting cradle to
use when the device attaches to the car mount. Below is the backside view of
the Drive GPS 140 in the cradle.

2.3 Using the mounting bracket.
1. Clean the mounting surface with a glass cleaner and a clean cotton cloth.
2. If the ambient temperature is below +15°C (60°F), you can warm the
mounting area and the suction cup (e.g. with a hair dryer) to ensure a
strong suction bond.
3. Install the car mount on the selected area.
a. Fix the suction cup to the selected area with the locking lever facing up
for easier access.
b. Flip the locking lever away from you to create a vacuum between the
suction cup and the window surface.
Make sure that the suction is strong and stable before proceeding to the
next step.
4. Slide the Drive GPS 140 cradle bracket onto the device connector mount.
5. After you are sure the mounting bracket is safe and secure, attach the Drive
GPS 140 into its cradle bracket. It snaps in easily with the quick release
connectors.
6. Adjust the car mount for the best viewing angle.
7. Connect the car charger into the cigarette lighter receptacle.
8. The car charger LED indicator will glow blue when powered.
9. Plug the car charger into the side of the Drive GPS 140 and position the
cord to an appropriate location.
NOTE: Your car may be required to switch the vehicle ignition into the
accessories position to power the cigarette lighter. Your Drive GPS 140 will
not charge with the ignition off.

NOTE: Why perform a GPS reset?
If the previous GPS fix position was more than 500 km or 12 hours apart
from your current position and time, it will take significantly longer than
the standard TTFF time to get a GPS fix. This is due to the nature of the
GPS algorithm and rotational velocity between the satellites and planet
Earth, and deemed normal.
Perform a GPS reset in the main menu to get a faster GPS fix.

Chapter 4 Synchronization with a PC
4.1 Exchanging data between the Drive GPS 140 and your
PC
4.1.1 Using the SD slot
The Drive GPS 140 has an SD slot compatible with a range of SD storage cards
that you can use to back up or transfer files and data.
Along with photos, music and videos, the GPS navigation system program is
also stored on the storage card. To install and use maps, the program requires
that users load the digital maps available in the GPS Navigation SD card that
supports the device.
4.1.3 To remove a storage card:
1. Hold the device securely, then push against the top of the card, as if you
were pushing it further into the slot, letting the card spring out. An audible
system sound will signal that the card has been released.
2. Gently remove the card from the slot.
4.1.4 Establishing device-PC connection
The USB cable that comes with your device enables you to connect the device
to your computer. File Explorer displays the Drive GPS 140 device, with the
SD card shown as a sub-folder. Once connected, you can use File Explorer to
copy digital music and image files into your device’s SD card and access them
when in Entertainment mode.
• It is advisable to organize files into subfolders. These subfolders will
become play lists and help you to manage and better access the files on
your device.
• To enable access of multimedia files from your device, the files should
be located on the SD card, not on the device’s memory.
4.1.2 To insert a storage card:
Hold the device securely, then push the card into the slot until you hear an audible system sound; this will signal that the card is already properly seated within
the slot. The card is secure when it is not protruding from the slot.

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
8.1 General troubleshooting
8.1.1 System stops responding; is “frozen” or “locked up.”
• To reset the Drive GPS 140, take a sharp object like a pen or paper click
and depress the reset button on the bottom of the device. This is called a
“soft reset.”
8.1.2 If your device still does not respond, do a “hard reset.”
• To do a “hard reset,” Disconnect all cables, including the AC adapter,
from your device. Use a sharp object pen to slide the primary ON/OFF
switch on the bottom of the device to the OFF (left) position.
•
8.1.3 Users can also perform a “system reset.”
• To do a “system reset,” in the Main menu, tap System, then tap System
Info. This will allow you to do a factory reset (restore to default settings), reset the GPS and recalibrate the touchscreen interface.
8.1.4 Screen responds slowly
• Make sure you have enough battery power.
8.1.5 Inaccurate response to taps.
• Recalibrate the touch screen.
8.1.6 Connection Problems with PC.
• Make sure that the cable is securely plugged into the USB port on your
computer and on the device. Connect the USB cable directly to your
computer—do not run the cable through a USB hub.
• Reset your device before connecting the cable. Always disconnect your
device before you restart your computer.
8.1.7 No GPS connection
• Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky. Note that
the GPS reception can be affected by:
• Bad weather
• Dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings)
• Other wireless devices in the car
8.1.8 No sound coming from the device.
• Make sure mute is not selected for Volume in system settings. The
built-in speaker turns off when the headphone jack is being used.
8.1.9 I can’t see my photos.
• Make sure you are using supported image formats, JPG and BMP.
8.1.10 Takes longer than normal time to get a GPS fix.
• If the previous GPS fix position was more than 500 km or 12 hours
apart from your current position and time, it will take significantly
longer than the standard TTFF time to get a GPS fix. This is due to the
nature of the GPS algorithm and rotational velocity between the satellites and planet Earth, and deemed normal.
• Perform a GPS reset in the main menu to get a faster GPS fix.
8.1.11 Factory reset does not mean a GPS reset.
• No. The Factory Reset function only resets the OS settings to their
default factory values; it will not reset the GPS settings.
