Troubleshooting

Device not powering on:

Ensure the device is fully charged. If it still doesn't power on, try connecting it to a different USB power source.

GPS signal not acquired:

Ensure you are in an open area with a clear view of the sky. Avoid tall buildings or dense tree cover. Allow a few minutes for the device to acquire a signal. The BSC300 uses GNSS for fast positioning.

Sensors not connecting:

• Check if the sensors are active and have fresh batteries.
• Ensure the sensors are within range of the BSC300.
• Try re-pairing the sensors through the device's settings menu.
• Verify that the sensors are compatible with ANT+ or BLE protocols.

Data not syncing to app:

• Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both your phone and the BSC300.
• Check your internet connection on your smartphone.
• Make sure the iGPSPORT APP is updated to the latest version.
• Restart both the BSC300 and your smartphone.

Screen readability issues:

The 2.4-inch fully laminated color screen is designed for strong light conditions. Adjust backlight settings if necessary. Ensure the protective film is clean and properly applied.

User Tips

• Data Field Customization: If you're having trouble changing data fields (e.g., switching pulse display with speed), remember that most advanced customizations are done through the iGPSPORT mobile application, not directly on the device. Connect your BSC300 to the app to configure your preferred data layouts.
• Unit Conversion: The device supports conversion between metric (km/kmh) and imperial (miles/mph) units. This setting can typically be adjusted in the device's settings menu or through the connected iGPSPORT app.
• Route Planning: For custom routes from platforms like Wikiloc, use the iGPSPORT app to import and synchronize these routes to your BSC300 for navigation. The app is designed to handle multi-format route imports.
• Sensor Compatibility: The BSC300 is compatible with ANT+ and BLE sensors. If a sensor isn't connecting, double-check its protocol and ensure it's not already paired with another device.
• Language Support: The device supports multiple languages, including English and Spanish. You can usually select your preferred language during initial setup or in the device's system settings.
