4. Setup and Installation

The INNOVV GPS Module is designed for straightforward integration with your INNOVV K2 Motorcycle Camera system. For detailed instructions on the K2 camera system installation, please refer to its dedicated user manual.

1. Identify the GPS Port: Locate the dedicated GPS port on your INNOVV K2 main unit. This port is typically labeled or indicated in the K2 manual.
2. Connect the GPS Module: Carefully align the metal connector of the GPS module cable with the GPS port on the K2 main unit. Push firmly until the connector is securely seated. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.
3. Mount the GPS Module:
   • Choose a mounting location on your motorcycle that provides a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. This is crucial for optimal GPS signal reception.
   • Avoid mounting the module directly under metal parts of the motorcycle, such as the fuel tank or frame, as this can interfere with the signal.
   • Common mounting locations include the handlebar, dashboard, or a non-metallic fairing surface.
   • Secure the module using appropriate mounting hardware (not included, typically supplied with the K2 system or purchased separately) to prevent movement during riding.
4. Cable Management: Route the cable safely, ensuring it does not interfere with steering, brakes, or other moving parts. Use cable ties or clips to secure the cable and prevent it from snagging or getting damaged.

5. Operating Instructions

The INNOVV GPS Module operates as an accessory to the INNOVV K2 Motorcycle Camera system. Once properly installed and connected, it functions automatically when the K2 system is powered on.

• Automatic Operation: The GPS module will automatically acquire satellite signals and begin transmitting location data to the K2 camera.
• Data Integration: GPS data (speed, location, route) will be embedded into the video recordings from your K2 camera, enhancing the informational value of your footage.
• Signal Acquisition: Initial signal acquisition may take a few moments, especially in areas with limited sky visibility or after a long period of inactivity. Ensure the module has a clear view of the sky for faster acquisition.

There are no direct user controls on the GPS module itself. All settings and data viewing related to GPS functionality are managed through the INNOVV K2 camera system and its associated applications.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your INNOVV GPS Module, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the module periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Connection Check: Regularly inspect the metal connector and cable for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure the connection to the K2 unit remains secure.
• Environmental Protection: While designed for outdoor use, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight when not in use, or heavy impacts.
• Cable Integrity: Ensure the cable is not pinched, stretched, or exposed to sharp edges that could cause damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GPS module, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No GPS Signal / Inaccurate Data:
  • Check Connection: Ensure the GPS module's metal connector is securely plugged into the K2 main unit.
  • Mounting Location: Verify that the GPS module has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Relocate if necessary to avoid interference from metal structures or overhead obstructions.
  • Power Cycle: Turn off the K2 camera system, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This can sometimes reset the GPS module.
  • Environmental Factors: Heavy cloud cover, dense urban areas, or tunnels can temporarily degrade or block GPS signals. Move to an open area.
• Module Not Recognized by K2:
  • Verify Compatibility: Ensure you are using this GPS module with an INNOVV K2 camera system, as it is not compatible with other models.
  • Inspect Connector: Check the metal connector for any bent pins or damage.
  • K2 Firmware: Ensure your INNOVV K2 camera system has the latest firmware installed, as updates can improve accessory compatibility.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact INNOVV customer support for further assistance.
