6. Troubleshooting

6.1 GPS Positioning Takes Too Long

The first GPS positioning in a new region (e.g., Europe) can take 3-5 minutes as the device switches from the factory satellite to local positioning satellites. Subsequent positioning will be much faster, typically around 30 seconds. Ensure you are in an open area with a clear view of the sky.

6.2 Incorrect Speed Readings

If the speed reading appears too high for the first 15-30 seconds after starting a ride, this can be a temporary anomaly. Ensure your wheel circumference is correctly set in the device settings. If using external sensors, verify they are properly paired and functioning.

6.3 Device Not Turning On/Off or Responding

Ensure the device is charged. If unresponsive, try a soft reset by holding down all three buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
