a. When RN6 is with external power supply, please press reset button to reboot RN6
directly.
b. When RN6 is with battery only, please press reset button to turn off RN6. Then
short press (2 seconds) power button to turn on RN6.
6.1.2 Users can also perform a “system reset”
a. Do a “system reset,” in the Main menu, tap System, then tap System Info.
b. This will allow you to do a factory reset (restore to default set tings), reset the GPS
status and recalibrate the touch screen interface.
6.1.3 Screen responds slowly
a. Make sure you have enough battery power.
6.1.4 Inaccurate responses to tap on touch screen
a. Recalibrate the touch screen.
6.1.5 Connection Problems with PC
a. 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 use the
cable through a USB hub.
b. Reset your device before connecting the cable. Always disconnect your device

RN6 Users Manual
▪
Dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings)
▪
Other wireless devices in the car
6.1.7 No sound coming from the device
a. Make sure mute is not selected for Volume in system settings. The built-in speaker
turns off when the headphone jack is being used.
6.1.8 Cannot see photos
a. Make sure you are using supported image formats JPG.
6.1.9 Take longer than normal time to get a GPS fix.
a. If the previous GPS fix position was more than 500 km or 12 hours apart from your
current position and time, it will also 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.
b. Perform a GPS reset in the main/system/system info menu to get a faster GPS fix.
6.1.10 Factory reset does mean a GPS reset.
a. Yes. The Factory Reset function resets the OS settings to their default factory values
and it will reset the GPS settings.
