  Use only the USB charging cable supplied with the device. This cable has a specific design to ensure proper contact with the charging port. Standard USB cables may not fit correctly.

• GPS signal acquisition issues:

  Ensure you are in an open outdoor area with a clear view of the sky. Tall buildings, dense forests, or indoor environments can obstruct GPS signals. Allow several minutes for the device to acquire satellites.
• Inaccurate readings (Altimeter, Barometer, Compass):

  For altimeter and barometer, ensure the device has been calibrated if applicable (refer to advanced settings). For the compass, perform a horizontal correction as described in the device's settings to ensure accuracy.

• Short battery life:

  Reduce the use of power-intensive features such as continuous GPS tracking and prolonged backlight usage. Ensure the device is fully charged before each use.
