Precautions Precautions WARNING: • In order to change Voyager using a wall outlet, Trail Tech’s wall charger (9000-ACA) is required. Attempting to charge Voyager directly off an outlet will result in failure of your Voyager Moto GPS. • Check gap between wheel sensor and magnet periodically to ensure correct measurements and reading on Voyager. • Do not bend, twist, kink or abuse the sensor cables. • Read all instructions before using Voyager.
Frequently Asked Questions FAQ 1. Voyager will not turn on: The internal battery may need to be charged before use, connect to vehicle power or use the wall charger (wall charger sold separately.) 2. How long does the internal battery take to charge fully? No need to pre-charge; connect and ride. Voyager takes 3-8 hours to fully charge depending on charge mode. 3. How do I get the best reception? The internal antenna is designed for optimum reception potential.
Frequently Asked Questions and over-temp warning LEDs. C. The ignition sensor tells Voyager when the engine is running. This enables logging of tracks only when engine is running and tachometer display features. D. The wheel sensor can also control when to log, and provides a more accurate odometer than GPS. 7. Do I really need a wheel sensor? My other GPS unit gets along just fine without one. All speed/distance data can be gathered from either GPS or the wheel sensor.
Frequently Asked Questions If the machine is within the acceptable range, follow Trail Tech’s instructions for connect to vehicle power (e.g. at the CDI input.) 9. Can Voyager be turned on and off manually? Yes. Hold down the upper left button to power Voyager off. Note that Voyager has two types of sleep mode.

Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Connector for Battery Reset Button External GPS Antenna Connector External Antenna: An external GPS antenna accessory will get better reception if the mounting location interferes with the reception of the internal antenna.
Physical Features » Bar Mount Bar Mounting: The included bar clamps fit 7/8” through 1-1/8” handlebars. Place the nuts and bolts as shown. Adjust angle as required.
Physical Features Custom Mounting Template Template: The template on this page is actual size. Use it to drill mounting holes, or other custom mount options. Use the included M4x16 bolts to mount to any flat surface. If other than provided screws are used, make sure they are not too long for mounting holes or they will damage internal components of Voyager.
Physical Features » SD Card MicroSD Memory Cards: Insert any MicroSD card into the side of Voyager. Make sure the card slot cover is properly seated to maintain waterproof properties. An installed MicroSD card enables import/export of tracks. After exporting a track to the MicroSD card, insert it into your computer’s card reader to save the track or view it in Ride Leader. Tracks are saved in GPX format and viewable in Google Earth, or other compatible programs with that format.
Physical Features » Power and Temperature Sensors Vehicle Power: Temperature Sensors: Connect the power cable directly to the vehicle’s 12 volt battery. A 0.5A fuse (not provided) should be used. See model-specific instructions for mounting procedure. Cylinder Head Sensor: For air-cooled machines. Spark Plug CHT Temperature Sensor Power Wire Ignition Sensor: The ignition sensor detects the on/off status of the engine.
Physical Features » Sensor Notes Sensor Notes: If you plan to not use one of the vehicle sensors, settings in Voyager should be changed to account for it: 1. No Wheel Sensor: Voyager defaults to use the wheel sensor to gather speed and distance measurements. If not using the wheel sensor, Voyager should instead use GPS to gather the speed and distance measurements. Set > Vehicle Sensors > Wheel Sensor: Disabled 2.
Physical Features » Precision Wheel Sensor ATV Wheel Sensor Installation: While not required, using the wheel sensor is recommended. It will collect more accurate speed and distance data than GPS. Due to limitations in GPS technology, physical sensors perform with more precision. GPS sometimes loses track of your movements, while the wheel sensor always knows when you are moving. Two halves are required for the wheel sensor to function: 1. A magnet, on the spinning part of the wheel. 2.
Physical Features » Precision Wheel Sensor Motorcycle Wheel Sensor Installation: Motorcycle wheel sensors, like ATVs, need a magnet placed on the spinning part of the wheel and the sensor installed to a non-spinning area. The magnet gets bolted or glued to the brake rotor. The wheel sensor should be cable-tied to the brake line, then attached to the brake caliper. Magnet Passing Under Sensor Voyager can tell precisely how far and fast it’s traveled by how many times the magnet passes the sensor.
Physical Features » Precision Wheel Sensor Measure Wheel Size: Knowing your exact wheel size it critical for the wheel sensor to calculate correct speed and distance data. The more accurate the wheel size, the better Voyager performs. Wheel Size = Wheel Diameter(mm) x3.14 When comparing calibration to GPS data, use a long straight section of road. GPS has trouble with tight fast corners and small vertical movements (causing comparison inaccuracy.
