6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery; faulty power button. | Charge the device fully. If still unresponsive, contact support. |
| No network signal (Yellow light blinking). | No SIM card; incorrect SIM card installation; out of network coverage; incompatible region. | Ensure SIM card is correctly inserted and active. Move to an area with better network coverage. Verify regional compatibility (Asia, Europe, Australia ONLY). |
| No GPS signal (Blue light blinking). | Device is indoors or in an area with poor satellite visibility. | Move the device to an open outdoor area with a clear view of the sky. Wait a few minutes for GPS acquisition. |
| Inaccurate positioning. | Weak GPS signal; reliance on LBS (Location Based Service) in poor GPS areas. | Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky for GPS. LBS accuracy is inherently lower (50-200 meters) compared to GPS (within 10 meters). |
| Device not tracking in America. | Regional incompatibility. | This device is not designed for use in America. It is compatible with networks in Asia, Europe, and Australia only. |
