Precautions
WARNING:
• In order to change Voyager using a wall outlet,
Trail Tech’s wall charger (9000-ACA) is required.
Attempting to charge Voyager directly off an
outlet will result in failure of your Voyager Moto
GPS.
• Read all instructions before using Voyager.
• Avoid contact with gasoline, degreasers or
other chemical cleaners.
• Do not wash with pressure washer.
• When installing Voyager, disconnect the
vehicle battery.
• When installing radiator hose temperature
sensors, make sure it ts BEFORE cutting the
radiator hose.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE TRAIL!
Precautions
• Check gap between wheel sensor and magnet
periodically to ensure correct measurements and
reading on Voyager.
• Do not bend, twist, kink or abuse the sensor
cables.
• Do not disassemble Voyager or its
accessories.
• Do not operate Voyager while driving/riding.
• Do not rely on Voyager for operations requiring
absolutely precise measurements of distance
or direction. All GPS devices inherently contain
some amount of error. Use the wheel sensor for
the most precise data.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
1. Voyager will not turn on: The internal
battery may need to be charged before use,
connect to vehicle power or use the wall charger
(wall charger sold separately.)
2. How long does the internal battery take to
charge fully? No need to pre-charge; connect
and ride. Voyager takes 3-8 hours to fully
charge depending on charge mode.
3. How do I get the best reception? The
internal antenna is designed for optimum
reception potential. If Voyager is mounted with
metal blocking the internal antenna, consider
purchasing the external antenna (9000-EAA).
4. How do I mount Voyager to my machine?
Vehicles with handlebars can use the included
handlebar mounting hardware. There are also
protective accessory mounts available, or utilize
the two mounting holes in the back of Voyager to
x to a at surface.

5. What kind of power does Voyager need
for proper operation? Voyager requires DC
power to function and charge correctly. The
DC input range is 12V-65V. DC power systems
with a failing vehicle battery may produce too
low a system voltage (<11.5V) to allow for
proper operation. For applications where DC
power is not available, Trail Tech offers an AC
wall charger for Voyager to charge the internal
battery (9000-ACA.)
6. Voyager kits include physical sensors,
magnets, and other cables. Why does
the unit need this if it’s a GPS? You can
use Voyager handheld without any sensors
connected. However, physically bolting Voyager
to your vehicle provides many advantages over
a conventional handheld GPS.
A. Power from the machine enables several
integration features, such as extended run-time
and maintenance-free charging.
B. The engine temperature sensor monitors
the health of your machine and enables two
major features: engine temperature diagnostics
and over-temp warning LEDs.
C. The ignition sensor tells Voyager when the
engine is running. This enables logging of tracks
only when engine is running and tachometer
display features.
D. The wheel sensor can also control when
to log, and provides a more accurate odometer
than GPS.
7. Do I really need a wheel sensor? My other
GPS unit gets along just ne without one. All
speed/distance data can be gathered from either
GPS or the wheel sensor. Voyager kits provide a
wheel sensor for several reasons:
A. When using a wheel sensor, Voyager knows
to stop logging when the vehicle stops moving.
When you start rolling again, the wheel sensor
tells Voyager which starts logging again (without
a GPS induced lag.)
Frequently Asked Questions
B. The wheel sensor will track distance
regardless of GPS conditions. This is important
under several circumstances:
a. GPS cannot tell the difference between
a motorcycle moving under its own power or in
the back of a truck.
b. The GPS signal can be lost, especially
around metal structures or in tunnels. With no
signal, speed and distance accuracy is lost.
c. GPS cannot see small changes in
elevation (i.e. whoops and ruts.) Over time this
will create signicant odometer error.
d. GPS is accurate while travelling in
straight lines at constant velocity. However, tight,
fast corners will cause the GPS to skip over part
of your path. Over time this will contribute to
odometer error.
C. Trail Tech believes an accurate odometer
and hour meter are critical features. To maintain
this accuracy, kits are provided with a wheel
sensor included.

Frequently Asked Questions
8. Can Voyager use GPX les? GPX (GPS
exchange format) is Voyager’s native format.
Import/export between the MicroSD and dozens
of software programs and web services.
If the machine is within the acceptable range,
follow Trail Tech’s instructions for connect to
vehicle power (e.g. at the CDI input.)
9. Can Voyager be turned on and off
manually? Yes. Hold down the upper left
button to power Voyager off. Note that Voyager
has two types of sleep mode.
The rst sleep mode shows the clock on
the screen. Some features are turned off to
conserve power, but Voyager is still alert to
come back on quickly when you are ready to
continue riding.
The second sleep mode turns Voyager off
completely to conserve as much power as
possible. You can alter the sleep mode timers in
Set > Power Settings > Power-Save.

10. How do I run Voyager without connecting
it to a vehicle? Voyager provides an easy way
to change unit settings to accommodate a wide
variety of user needs. There are few menu
options to change when Voyager is used without
external power: See the “Sensor Notes” section
for details on the settings that need to change in
order to use Voyager without connecting one or
more of its sensors to a vehicle.
