Checks for External GPS
Even if the GPS isn't working, video is recorded, but position coordinates and
driving speed are not recorded. When used for the first time, or when the prod-
uct is not used for 3 consecutive days, it will take some time for the GPS to find
the current position.
If there is an error with the GPS time when checking recorded video with a
viewer program or the BlackVue application, turn the GPS off and on after a
signal is received.
Make sure to observe the following for an uninterrupted GPS signal.
y
Do not place any objects on the GPS.
y
Do not have the windshield glass tinted with a metallic component.
y
Be careful with the installation of devices that may interfere with GPS recep-
tion (e.g. some wireless starters & alarms and MP3/CD players).
y
