TROUBLESHOOTING

GPS

GPS technology works best in open spaces, when you have a clear view of the sky. Obstacles such as buildings and trees can
degrade the signal. If you are outside when starting an activity, your Jet will automatically acquire a GPS fix. You will notice
a blinking red GPS logo on your Jet display. When a GPS fix is achieved, that logo will turn into a solid triangle.
If you have trouble acquiring a GPS fix, it may be because:
• Your Jet is trying to acquire a fix for the first time.
• Your Jet has not been used for an extended period of time.
• Your Jet is being used indoors.
• You have traveled a long distance with your Jet turned off.
If you encounter any of these issues, try connecting Jet to your smartphone through the Recon Engage mobile app. This will
enable Assisted GPS and allow Jet to get an initial location fix.

ASSISTED GPS (AGPS)

Assisted GPS (AGPS) helps locate satellites in your area, allowing Jet to get a GPS fix more quickly.
To activate AGPS, either connect your Jet to your smartphone through the Recon Engage mobile app, or connect your Jet to
you computer and run the Recon Uplink desktop app.

SCREEN BRIGHTNESS

If Jet's display appears too bright or too dim, navigate to Settings, then navigate to Display and scroll down to Brightness.
You can adjust the brightness level by swiping left and right on the Brightness settings screen.

BATTERY

CHARGING USING A COMPUTER
1. Make sure your computer is turned on and is not in standby mode.
2. Connect Jet to your computer using the included Micro-USB cable.
3. Make sure Jet's status indicator LED is red. This indicates that Jet is charging.
4. Charge Jet until the status indicator LED turns off. This indicates that Jet is fully charged.
5. If your computer does not recognize your Jet, try disconnecting and then reconnecting the Micro-USB cable.
NOTE: Under optimal conditions, Jet can achieve an 80% charge after being connected to your Mac or PC for one hour. The charging
time may vary depending on your computer configuration.
WARNING:
• Using a Micro-USB cable other than the one provided may shorten battery life and may, in some cases, damage your Jet permanently.
• Do not attempt to charge your Jet with the battery and/or engine removed. This will cause permanent damage.
• Do not let your Jet overheat. This may cause thermal runway or explosions.
• Do not charge your Jet in excessively hot or cold environments (below 32°F/0°C or above 104°F/40°C).
• After charging your Jet, close the USB protection cap tightly to prevent water damage. If the battery looks damaged or inflated, stop
using your Jet immediately.
CHARGING USING AN AC WALL CHARGER
Alternatively, you can charge Jet using an AC wall charger with an output of 1A and 5V.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Running the Maps app for a prolonged period of time, using the camera, searching for a GPS fix, and running some third-party
apps may negatively impact Jet's battery life. Low temperatures are also detrimental to Jet's battery life.
