Cobra SL3 Operating Instructions - Page 17

Troubleshooting Operation Troubleshooting The unit cannot be switched on Check that the cigarette lighter adapter is well inserted into the cigarette lighter socket and that the cigarette light socket is functioning properly. Check that the lighter socket is clean and free from debris. Also check that the fuse in the cigarette lighter adaptor is functioning correctly. The unit cannot acquire satellites Check that the Cobra SL3's built-in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above. If this is the first time you have powered up your SL3, please remember that the first 'cold' start may take between 15-30 minutes to acquire sufficient satellites for operation. Disconnect and re-connect the power to the unit and start the power up procedure again. The satellite signal temporarily or permanently drops out This may happen temporarily in areas where there are a significant number of tall buildings or trees or while driving through a tunnel. The signal should only be lost for a few seconds and will be quickly reacquired. Check that the device has not moved and that the built-in GPS antenna still has a good clear view of the sky above. Very occasionally you may experience bad satellite coverage that may lead to you losing a signal. This should last no longer than a few short minutes. The device does not appear to alert properly at camera locations Have you performed an update recently? If not, perform a fresh update to ensure that you have all the latest coordinates stored on your device. Visit http://aura.cobra.com for the latest database. Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 16
