Detailed Guide to Satellite Navigation

1.Starting Up

Once you have synchronised the Micro-SD Card and performed a download as necessary it is time to perform the ﬁrst Start Up. First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above. Next switch ON the unit by pressing and holding the standby power switch on the top left hand side of the unit for 2 seconds. Finally if the home menu is displayed press NAVI.

The following warning will be displayed.

Please read the warning and select the relevant vehicle type (where applicable).

Press “I Agree”

to continue.

Whilst S8000 software is loading a start-up display will be shown for just a few seconds and then the screen will show a section of a map. S8000 needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this has been achieved S8000 will ascertain your position and this will be indicated by a green arrow icon on the on-screen map and the GPS signal strength will be shown in the bottom right hand corner of the display. S8000 is now ready to navigate.

As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the ﬁrst ‘Cold’ start can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only a matter of minutes.

2. Easy Set Up

Troubleshooting S8000 Downloads

If you are having any diﬃculty in performing a download onto the S8000 unit it is advisable to refer to the checklist in Section A ﬁrst before contacting us.

If you are still unable to perform a download after following all of this checklist then please send an email to Support@snooper.eu stating the nature of your diﬃculty. To expedite your enquiry please supply as much detail as possible including your contact details, S8000 serial number, PC operating system, error codes and any other relevant information. One of our technicians will reply as soon as possible.

Alternatively you can contact our Technical Helpline on 0333 240 1000 and select Option 3.

This troubleshooting guide is in two sections; Section A is in the form of a checklist that will assist you with resolving common download problems. Section B consists of a few possible reasons and possible solutions to error messages that may be displayed by the operating system or the software whilst you are trying to perform a download.

SECTION A

1. Have you registered the S8000 unit?

You will not be able to download the database unless S8000 is registered. If the unit has not been registered, a message will appear on the software informing you that the device is not enabled. Please register online at www.snooperneo.co.uk.

2. Is S8000 connected to an AC mains power supply? S8000 needs to be switched on BEFORE connecting it to the PC. If the battery charge on the unit is low, the unit may switch oﬀ during the download process and the download will fail. As a precaution, it is best to power the unit using the AC mains adaptor. S8000 must be powered from the AC mains adaptor as it does not receive any power from the USB cable.

Please use the AC mains adapter supplied with your unit and connect to the power socket on the side. To switch the unit on push the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’ switch located on the back of the unit to the ‘ON’ position, then press and hold the standby power switch on the left hand side of the unit for 2 seconds.

Whilst S8000 software is loading a start-up display will be shown for just a few seconds and then a menu will be displayed. At this point connect S8000 to the PC.

3. What operating system are you using on your computer?

S8000 download software will only work on the following Windows operating systems:

Windows XP (32 bit), Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The software will not work on Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Millennium and Windows 2000; Apple Macintosh operating systems are

not supported. Windows XP (64bit) systems is not supported.

To determine which operating system you have on your computer:

Right click on the ‘My Computer’ icon on your desktop and select ‘Properties’ from the drop down menu. When the ‘System Properties’ dialogue box opens, the ‘General’ tab is selected by default. Under the heading of ‘System’ the operating system is displayed.

If you do not have a ‘My Computer’ icon on your desktop you can ﬁnd this information by going to the ‘Control Panel’ and double left clicking the ‘System’ icon. The ‘System Properties’ window will then be displayed as outlined in ‘b’ above.

Return to contents

4. Is the USB cable supplied with S8000 connected correctly? Please make sure the USB lead has a secure connection to the PC and is fully plugged in. Ensure the smaller connector is plugged into the USB socket on the side of the unit. Only plug the USB lead into S8000 once you see the ‘Menu Screen’ after turning S8000 ‘ON’..

5. Have you installed S8000 download software onto your PC?

If you have not installed the download software you will not be able to perform a download to S8000. Once the software is installed there will be a new icon in your system tray, which is located at the bottom right hand side of your desktop near the system clock. The icon is similar to this

Please check to see if you have the latest version of the software by visiting http://www.snooperneo.co.uk/software.cfm to check what software version you have, double left click S8000 icon in your system tray, look at the top of the window that opens and you will see the version number in brackets.

6. Have you connected the computer to the internet?

The download software has to download a ﬁle directly from our server and this can only be done if an internet connection is present. Therefore make sure that your PC is connected to the internet by either establishing a dial up connection or signing in to your broadband internet account before you begin to download the database to S8000.

7. What version of Internet Explorer / Netscape Navigator are you using? The software will only operate if you have Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 6 or above.

To check what version of Internet Explorer you have; open your browser, click on the ‘Help’ menu and select ‘About Internet Explorer’. This should now display what version you currently have installed. If you have a version older than 6 (e.g. 4.5), open your browser, click on ‘Tools’ and select ‘Windows Update’. This will take you to the Microsoft website where you can download the latest version of internet explorer.

To check what version of Netscape Navigator you have: open the browser, click on the ‘Help’ menu and select ‘About Netscape

Navigator’.

SECTION B

This section is for supplying possible reasons and solutions to problems you may be experiencing whilst trying to down load the database to S8000. If after completing all the checks in Section A and you are still experiencing diﬃculty or have received an error message please read through the following:

1. ERROR MESSAGE – ‘The device has not been enabled yet.’ Please refer to Step 1 in section A for further details.

2. ERROR MESSAGE - ‘Error 521: There was a problem connecting to the Performance Products server…’

If you get an error message as described above this normally means that there is something blocking communication between the software, most typically a ﬁrewall, and the AURA™ server. Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 are supplied with a built in ‘Internet Connection Firewall’. Depending upon which ﬁrewall software you have you will need to access the ﬁrewall settings and allow access for the S8000 update software.

If you do have a Firewall on your computer S8000 Updater software may appear to stop and it is at this point that your Firewall software will inform you that S8000 Updater software is trying to access the internet. Please make sure that you grant/allow/permit access through the Firewall.

Please read the messages supplied by your Firewall software carefully before choosing your option. If you do not allow the program access to the internet through the Firewall, the download process will fail.

If no message was prompted by the ﬁrewall software uninstall and then re-install the software and perform a download again.
