●

It’s better to turn off 860E when you don’t use it, otherwise it might still keep recording data.

●

Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect GPS signal receptions.

●

Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal receptions.

●

Driving in tunnels or indoor park garage may affect signal receptions.

●

In general, 860E performs best in open space where it can see clear sky. Also weather will affect GPS reception –
rain & snow contribute to worse sensitivity.

●

For the 1

time you use the 860E, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the satellite constellation information and

fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”.

●

If your 860E can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change to another spot with open
space and then try again.
