Checks for the External GPS
Even if the GPS isn’t working the video is recorded, but position coordinates and
driving speed are not recorded. When used for the rst time, or when the product
is not used for three consecutive days, it will take some time for GPS to find the
current position.
If the recorded video is checked using a viewer program, or the BlackVue
application, and an error occurs with the GPS time, it is recommended to turn on
and o the power after a GPS signal is received.
Comply with the following for an uninterrupted GPS signal:
y

(e.g. some wireless starters & alarms and MP3/CD players).

y
GPS reception can be poor when driving under overpasses or in tunnels,
