Troubleshooting
My device will not acquire GPS signals
If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a
few causes. If the device has moved a large distance since the
last time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for
longer than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able
to acquire the satellites correctly.
• Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update
the device software (Software Update, page 63).
• Make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so the
antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of
a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can receive the
GPS signal.
