Troubleshooting Shotsaver
DOWNLOADS
If you are having difficulty performing a download to your Shotsaver you should consult the following checklist first before contacting technical support. If you are still unable to perform a download after following this checklist then please contact our Technical Helpline on 0870 787 0700 and select Option 3. There is also additional help available on the www.snooperneo.co.uk website.
This guide is in two sections; the first section is a list of things to check before performing a download and the second section consists of possible reasons and solutions to error messages encountered while trying to perform a download.
SECTION ONE
- Have you registered your Shotsaver?
You will not be able to download the database unless the Shotsaver is registered. Please register online at www.snooperneo.co.uk.
- Is the USB computer cable supplied with the Shotsaver connected correctly?
Please check that the USB lead is plugged into the USB socket on the Shotsaver and is fully plugged in as far as possible. Check the computer USB connection is secure.
- Have you installed the USB drivers correctly for the USB cable?
After installing the USB driver from the Software Disc the computer requires rebooting. Once rebooted the Shotsaver needs to be connected to the USB lead. The 'Found New Hardware' wizard will eventually launch and you need to select 'Install the software automatically (Recommended)' and the wizard will complete the USB driver installation.
- What operating system are you using on your computer?
The Snooper download software will only work on the following Windows 32 bit operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT WORK ON WINDOWS 95/98, 98SE and Millennium. Apple Macintosh is not supported. Windows XP and Vista 64bit systems are not supported.
To determine which operating system you have on your computer:
a) Right click on the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop and select 'Properties' from the drop down menu.
b) When the 'System Properties' dialogue box opens the 'General' tab is selected by default. Under the heading 'System' the operating system is displayed.
c) If you do not have a 'My Computer' icon on your desktop (common in Windows XP) click on 'Start' and two columns will appear. In the right hand column you will see the option of 'My Computer'. Right click on this option as instructed in (a) above.
- Have you installed the Snooper download software onto your computer?
If you have not installed the software you will not be able to perform a download to your Shotsaver. Once the software is installed there will be a new icon on your desktop: 'Shotsaver Updater'. Please check to see if you have the latest version of this software by visiting www.snooperneo.co.uk and clicking on the link 'Download software'.
- 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 Shotsaver. Please make sure that your internet connection is established and that you have signed in to your broadband account (if required).
7. What version of Internet Explorer / Netscape Navigator are you using?
The software will only operate if you have Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 6 or above.
To check what version of Internet Explorer you have; open your browser, click on the 'Help' menu and select 'About Internet Explorer'. This should now display what version you currently have installed. If you have a version older than 6 (e.g. 5), open your browser, click on 'Tools' and select 'Windows Update'. This will take you to the Microsoft website where you can download the latest version of internet explorer.
To check what version of Netscape Navigator you have: open the browser, click on the 'Help' menu and select 'About Netscape Navigator'.
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 Shotsaver. 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 Shotsaver 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 unit has been charged.
The unit cannot acquire satellite connection
Check that the Shotsaver's built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.
If this is the first time you have powered up your Shotsaver please remember that the first 'cold' start can take up to 30 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 approximately 90 seconds to acquire satellite connection.
