5. Have you connected the computer to the internet?
The computer needs to be connected to the internet before you can begin to download the database to your 4ZERO. Please
make sure that your internet connection is established and that you have signed in to your broadband account (if required).
SECTION TWO
This section is for supplying possible reasons and solutions to problems you may be experiencing whilst trying to download the
database to your 4ZERO. If after going through section one you are still experiencing difficulty or have received an error message
please read through the following:
ERROR MESSAGE – ‘Error 521 - There was a problem connecting to the Performance Products server’
If you get an error message similar to the one above this normally means there is something blocking communication between the
software, most typically a firewall, and our server. Windows XP and Vista are supplied with a firewall as standard.
If you have a Firewall on your computer the software may appear to hang and your Firewall software will inform you that the Updater
software is trying to access the internet. Please make sure that you grant/allow/permit /unblock access through the Firewall. Please
read the messages supplied by your Firewall software carefully before choosing your option. If you do not allow the program to
access the internet through the Firewall, the download process will fail.
If no message was prompted by the firewall software uninstall and then re-install the software and perform a download again.
Warning: We do not recommend disabling your firewall software in order to perform a download to your 4ZERO nor can we
advise how to alter the settings on third party software nor can we be held responsible for any action taken by the computer
user that makes the computer more vulnerable to viruses and computer hackers. Any changes made to the computer firewall
settings are at the user’s discretion. We would recommend contacting the third party software manufacturer for information
of how to configure the firewall software.
Other Problems
The unit cannot be switched on
Check that the cigarette lighter adaptor is well inserted into the cigarette lighter socket and that the cigarette lighter socket is
functioning properly. Check that the lighter socket is clean and free from debris. Also check that the fuse of the cigarette lighter
adaptor is intact.
If you are using the hardwire connection check that you have secured a good earth and that you have taken the 12v feed from a 12v
supply that is live on ignition. Also check that the in-line fuse is intact.
The unit cannot acquire satellite connection
Check that the 4ZERO’s built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.
If this is the first time you have powered up your 4ZERO please remember that the first ‘cold’ start can take up to 10 minutes to
acquire sufficient satellite connection. The unit requires time to calibrate and you will find that with subsequent use that the time for
acquiring satellites will reduce. Eventually the unit should take only a few seconds to acquire satellite connection.
Disconnect and reconnect the power to the unit and start the power up procedure again.
Check that the windscreen has not been specially treated to reflect UV rays (Metal Oxide, Athermic, solar reflective). Please check
with the local vehicle dealer or manufacturer to ascertain what type of windscreen is fitted to your vehicle. If you do have this type
of windscreen place the 4ZERO where there is a clear section of glass usually situated near the rearview mirror or near the centre of
the windscreen just above the dashboard. If you do not have clear section on the windscreen then unfortunately the 4ZERO will not
work in that vehicle.
