In the GPS satellite screen (Main Menu -> GPS Manager -> Satellite Status), if less than 4 satellites are shown, move to an area with an unobstructed overhead view. If problems persist, check connections on GPS receiver on vehicle or see your dealer. NOTE: PIDD will acquire satellite reception faster if the vehicle is stationary and with a clear view to the sky.
You are reaching the limit allowed for an individual track. Save the current track, and start a new track. Up to 10 tracks can be saved.
The PIDD has the ability to be connected to notify the rider of incoming phone calls or text messages from a Bluetooth connected phone. To connect a phone to the display, use the Phone menu item in the display menu. Reference PIDD owner’s manual for full details on connecting your phone via Bluetooth; see the phone's owner's manual for specific Bluetooth functionality.
Two options exist for the clock function. GPS source automatically sets the clock when there is GPS signal. The internal clock can be manually set through System Settings -> Time. Ensure the time zone (GMT offset) and daylight savings mode are correct for your location if in GPS mode.
