3. Setup and Installation
- Identify Connection Point: Locate the designated GPS module connection port on your Flytec V900, V010, or V020 bait boat. Refer to your bait boat's main instruction manual for the exact location.
- Connect the Module: Carefully connect the provided wire to the GPS module and then to the corresponding port on your bait boat. Ensure the connection is secure and correctly oriented to avoid damage.
- Apply Shielding Paper: It is crucial to paste the included shielding paper onto the GPS module. This paper helps to prevent signal interference, ensuring more accurate GPS positioning information. Place it directly over the module's main chip area.
- Secure the Module: Once connected and shielded, secure the GPS module within the bait boat's housing as per the boat's design. Ensure it is stable and not prone to movement during operation.
4. Operating Instructions
Once the GPS module is correctly installed, its functionality is integrated with your Flytec bait boat's control system. The module provides the necessary data for the boat's 40-point GPS navigation feature.
- Power On: Turn on your bait boat and its remote control. The GPS module will automatically power on with the boat.
- GPS Signal Acquisition: Allow a few moments for the GPS module to acquire satellite signals. This may take longer in areas with obstructions or poor satellite visibility.
- Using GPS Features: Refer to your specific Flytec bait boat's main instruction manual for detailed guidance on how to set GPS waypoints, navigate to saved locations, and utilize other GPS-enabled functions. The V900-02 module provides the core positioning data for these features.
5. Maintenance
- Keep Dry: Ensure the GPS module and its connections remain dry. Moisture can damage electronic components.
- Handle with Care: The module is a delicate electronic component. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.
- No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to open or repair the GPS module. Doing so may void any potential warranty and could cause further damage.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the connection wire for any signs of wear or damage.
6. Troubleshooting
- GPS Signal Issues / "Alarm 44 H": If your bait boat displays an "Alarm 44 H" (common on V010 models) or experiences poor GPS signal accuracy, first ensure the shielding paper is correctly and securely applied to the GPS module. Also, check all connections to ensure they are firm. Operate the boat in an open area with clear sky view for optimal signal reception. Consult your bait boat's main manual for specific alarm codes and troubleshooting steps.
- Module Not Recognized: If the bait boat does not recognize the GPS module, power cycle both the boat and the remote. Verify that the connection wire is properly inserted into both the module and the boat's port.
- Inaccurate Positioning: Ensure the shielding paper is properly installed. Environmental factors such as tall buildings, dense foliage, or heavy cloud cover can affect GPS accuracy.
7. User Tips
- Shielding is Key: Always ensure the shielding paper is properly affixed to the GPS module. This simple step significantly improves signal stability and positioning accuracy, which is vital for precise bait delivery.
- Batch Numbers Don't Affect Function: If you notice different numbers (e.g., "SA: 2311") on your module compared to product images, do not be concerned. These are production batch identifiers and do not affect the module's functionality or compatibility.
- Optimal Signal Environment: For best GPS performance, operate your bait boat in open water away from tall structures or dense tree cover that could obstruct satellite signals.
