- Select your sensor from the list to complete pairing.
5. Connecting to the iGPSPORT App (Bluetooth)
Download the free iGPSPORT app from your smartphone's app store. To connect:
- Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone.
- Open the iGPSPORT app and create an account or log in.
- In the app, navigate to 'Device' or 'Add Device' and select the iGS10S.
- Follow the on-screen prompts in the app and on your iGS10S to complete the pairing process.
Operating the Device
1. Basic Navigation
The two buttons on the iGS10S are used for navigation and control. Typically, one button serves as 'Select' or 'Confirm' and the other as 'Back' or 'Menu'. Short presses and long presses may activate different functions. Consult the on-screen prompts for current button assignments.
2. Display Information
The LCD screen displays various ride data, which may include:
- Current Speed
- Average Speed
- Max Speed
- Distance
- Ride Time
- Altitude
- Cadence (if paired with sensor)
- Battery Level
- GPS Signal Strength
Pressing the appropriate button (usually the right button) allows you to cycle through different data screens.
3. Backlight Operation
When the backlight is off, pressing any button will activate the backlight for 15 seconds, improving visibility in low-light conditions.
4. Starting and Stopping a Ride
Once GPS is acquired, press the designated button (often the right button) to start recording your ride data. Press the same button again to pause or stop the recording. A long press may be required to save the ride.
5. Data Upload
After completing a ride, ensure your iGS10S is connected to the iGPSPORT app via Bluetooth. The app will automatically synchronize your ride data for analysis and tracking.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the screen or casing. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
2. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the device frequently. Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods. Charge the device periodically if stored for a long time.
3. Firmware Updates
iGPSPORT may release firmware updates to improve performance or add new features. Connect your iGS10S to the iGPSPORT app via Bluetooth (BLE) to check for and install available updates. Follow the app's instructions carefully during the update process.
4. Water Resistance
The iGS10S has an IPX6 rating, meaning it is protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction. It is suitable for use in rain but should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Ensure the device is fully charged. If it still doesn't power on, try connecting it to a power source and attempting to power on again.
- GPS signal not acquired: Ensure you are in an open outdoor area with a clear view of the sky. Wait a few minutes for the device to connect to satellites. Move away from tall buildings or dense foliage.
- ANT+ sensor not pairing: Ensure the sensor is active and has a fresh battery. Bring the sensor close to the iGS10S. Re-scan for sensors in the device's menu.
- Bluetooth connection issues with app: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the iGS10S. Close and reopen the iGPSPORT app. Try unpairing and re-pairing the device in both the app and your phone's Bluetooth settings.
- Inaccurate data: Ensure GPS signal is strong. For speed/cadence, verify that ANT+ sensors are correctly installed and paired.
- Screen not responding: Try restarting the device. If unresponsive, allow the battery to fully drain and then recharge.
