Waterproof Rating
The iGPSPORT BSC100S has an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for use in various weather conditions, including rain. However, it is not recommended for prolonged submersion.
Cleaning and Care
To clean the device, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the screen or casing. Ensure the Type-C port cover is securely closed when not charging to maintain water resistance.
Battery Care
To prolong the battery life of your BSC100S, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the device regularly, especially if it will be stored for an extended period. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- No GPS Signal: Ensure you are in an open area with a clear view of the sky. Allow a few minutes for the device to acquire a signal. Moving to a different location might help.
- Sensor Not Connecting: Check that the sensor's battery is not depleted and that it is within range of the bike computer. Ensure the sensor is active (e.g., by spinning the wheel for a speed sensor). Re-initiate the sensor search in the device settings (E3).
