      Arthur MoodyJul 29, 2025
      If your Haicom GPS unit shows no position output, but the timer is counting, it's likely due to a weak or non-existent GPS signal. Try moving the HI-203E to an open space and then press the 'Reset' button.

      Tracy OwensAug 3, 2025
      If your Haicom HI-203E GPS can't find a signal, even in an outdoor space, it might be blocked by a building or your car's roof. Try moving to a completely open outdoor area and press 'Reset'. Alternatively, connect an external antenna to the side of the HI-203E to improve the GPS signal.

      Michael BurnsAug 23, 2025
      If your Haicom GPS can't open the COM port, it may be because the PS/II connector isn't inserted correctly, or another application is using the COM port. Plug the HI-203E connector firmly or close any other applications that are using the COM port.
