Troubleshooting

SOLUTION
1. Recharge battery.
2. Press power key until LCD comes on.
1. After the unit has been off for an extended time it
may take longer for it to acquire GPS satellites. Check
the satellite icon-it will stop flashing when locked onto
the GPS satellites.
2. For fastest acquisition times make sure the unit has
a clear view of the sky. Avoid areas of heavy brush and
areas next to large buildings or cliffs. Keep unit out of
golf bags and other concealed areas in order to maintain
consistent GPS signals. Try holding the unit further
away from your body.
1. Ensure USB cable is securely connected to both PC
and unit, try different cable if available.
2. In Sync application, click "Settings" (top right
corner) and select correct Com port # in "Com Port"
pull down list under "Computer Settings" (Auto is the
default). If Com port # is unknown, disconnect YP
GPS unit, make a note of all Com Port #s listed in the
pull down menu. Then reconnect the YP GPS unit, and
check the Com Port pull down list again. A new Port
# that did not appear previously should be the correct
one to select.
