Error Handling, Faults and Repairing
Error Handling
First Action
If the device does not operate as expected the first step is always to check if the battery is fully charged. The “Low battery LED” should indicate if the battery level is too low, but if you detect malfunction do always charge the battery as the first step to get back to normal operation.
GNSS
If the GNSS led is not lit after 3 minute of operation, try to bring the device outdoor to get free sight to the sky and check for GNSS fix. Keep in mind that GNSS positioning is mainly intended for outdoor usage, and there is no guarantee that it will always work in indoor environment
| Problem | Action |
| The device gets GNSS fix outdoors but not indoors | Check with another device if it can get indoor fix. |
| More than one device tested, and none get indoor fix | Find another indoor position for your device. |
| The device can’t get outdoor fix with free sight to the sky. | Are there any metal objects near the device? Any inter- fering transmitters nearby? If no, replace the device |
Cellular Network Malfunction
If the mobile network LED never leaves the network search mode, it may have different causes. Low signal strength, nearby metal objects, low battery level can all be the reason why the device can’t interact properly with the cellular network.
| Problem | Action |
| The network operator for the device SIM sub- scription might not have coverage in your area | Bring your device to another area and check if it works |
| It might be a problem with the SIM subscription in your device | Contact your SIM subscription company and ask them to check the status for you SIM |
