Frequently Asked Questions - SFN 1.5 A1 SILVERCREST

How do I charge the GPS device for the first time?

Charge the battery for at least five hours before first use. Connect the small end of the USB cable to the GPS device (USB port behind protective cover) and the other end to a computer's USB port. The computer must be on to provide power.

Why is the GPS not showing any data or position?

The GPS needs at least four satellites to determine position. Ensure you are outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Avoid tall buildings, tunnels, or dense forests. If the signal icon shows fewer bars, move to an open area.

How do I record a route?

Press and hold the confirmation button (5) for 3 seconds to open the pop-up menu. Select the ▶ icon to start recording. The device will save trackpoints as you ride. To stop, hold the button again and select ■ (Stop). Routes are saved with date and time.

How can I navigate back to a previously recorded route?

Go to the main menu and select Track Back. Choose the route by date/time, then select Forward (follow original direction) or Backward (return to start). A compass arrow will guide you.

What is a POI and how do I save one?

POI stands for Point of Interest. To save your current location as a POI, press the confirmation button (5) while at least 4 satellites are received. Choose a symbol (e.g., sun for beach) and confirm. Later, you can navigate to it via the POI menu.

How do I use the homing mode?

First, save your home as a POI with the house symbol. Then go to Menu > Settings > Homing mode and set it to On. Exit menus; the compass arrow will guide you home. To disable, set it to Off.

Can I transfer data to my PC?

Yes. Connect the GPS via USB, then use the Guider Application software on the included CD. Go to Plan, POI, or Track tabs and click the Device Operations button to download or upload routes and POIs. Internet required for map display.

What should I do if the device freezes or does not respond?

If not connected to a PC, perform a reset: hold the ◀ button (7) and the On/Off button (8) simultaneously. The device restarts with factory settings (language English, settings cleared, but routes and POIs are retained).

How do I clean and maintain the GPS device?

Disconnect all cables before cleaning. Use a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Never use solvents or cleaners. The device has no user-serviceable parts; do not open the housing.

What is the warranty period and how do I claim?

The device has a 3-year warranty from date of purchase. Keep the original receipt as proof. For claims, contact the service hotline (see manual for numbers). Warranty covers material and manufacturing faults, not normal wear or misuse.

Getting started

Charging the battery

Please charge the battery for at least five hours before first use of the GPS device.

1. Open the cover for the USB port (6).
2. Connect the small end of the USB cable supplied to the USB port (6) and the other end to the USB port on your computer.

It may be that your computer needs to be switched on so that there is power to the computer USB port to charge your GPS device. Not all computers provide power to the USB port when they are switched off.

As soon as your GPS device is charging, the screen will switch on. A "Welcome" message will appear for a few seconds, followed by a PC connection display with a battery charge icon.

Battery charge display

A battery symbol consisting of a number of bars appears on the display (2) while your GPS device is charging. The number of bars indicates the battery charge level:

	battery fully charged. You can disconnect the device from the computer.
	battery 2/3 charged.
	battery 1/3 charged.
[8SXT]	battery empty. It takes about 5 hours to charge the battery completely.

Installing the bike mount

You can fit the GPS device to the handlebar of your bike. This allows you to operate it at any time and keep your eye on the display (2).

Fitting the GPS device in the bike mount

1. Place the back of the GPS holder on the front of the handlebar mount ("cross to cross"). Make sure you hold the handlebar mount so that the semicircular insert for the handlebar is aligned horizontally, like the handlebar, and guide 2 of the 8 cable ties through the square holes at the top and bottom through the handlebar mount (see diagram on the right). The cable ties need to be fed through the handlebar mount to make sure the GPS holder and the handlebar mount are firmly fixed together.

Keep the remaining cable ties in a safe place. You can use them if you want to fix the handlebar mount to a different bike.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical clamp or bracket assembly with a cylindrical base and a circular component above (no text or symbols)

If you cannot feed the cable ties through both components, the GPS holder is fitted to the handlebar mount rotated by 90^ . The unlock lever on the GPS holder should be parallel to the cable ties.

1. Wrap the slightly ribbed side of the non-slip rubber mat around the handlebar (with the smooth side pointing at the handlebar mount) and fit the semicircular insert on the handlebar mount to it. Make sure that the unlock lever on the GPS holder is pointing downwards and the bowl in which the GPS device is placed is pointing towards the bike rider (not in the direction of travel!).
2. Feed the tongues of the cable ties around the handlebar and through the cube-shaped locking mechanism of the cable tie. The teeth on one side of the cable tie (the other side is smooth) need to be on the inside, i.e. pointing at the handlebar. Do not pull the cable ties tight just yet.

When you guide the cable ties through and tighten them slightly, if you do not hear a slight 'tearing' noise then the cable ties are the wrong way round (with the teeth facing outwards). In this case, remove the cable tie from the closing mechanism and re-insert it properly.

1. Place your GPS device in the bowl of the GPS holder. The display (2) should point at the rider and the USB port (6) should face down. This means making sure the two rails on the holder are fitted into the correct slots (3) on the device and pushing the device down until you hear it click into place.

2. Get onto your bike. You can now adjust the device to the optimum position on the handlebar and tip it slightly so you can see the display (2). Pull the cable ties tight.

We recommend that you tighten the cable ties using a tool (e.g. pliers) and cut off the excess with scissors.

If you want to use your GPS device on another bike in future, you can either use the arm belt or cut the cable ties with a tools (e.g. wire cutters) and use two new cable ties to fit it to the new bicycle. 8 cable ties are supplied. If required, you can buy more cable ties from hardware or electrical stores.

Removing the GPS device from the bike mount

To remove your GPS device from the bike mount, proceed as follows:

1. Press the unlock lever on the GPS holder and, at the same time, pull the GPS device up out of the GPS holder.

Wearing the GPS on the arm belt

If you wish, you can wear your GPS device on your arm. A special arm belt is provided which is adjustable and can be worn over clothing. It has a pocket with a see-through window for the GPS device.

To wear the GPS device in the arm belt, proceed as follows:

1. The pocket with the see-through window has Velcro on both sides which goes around the arm belt. Open the Velcro on one side.
2. Fit your GPS device into the pocket. Make sure that you can see the display (2) through the window and that the top of the device is pointing into the direction of travel.

1. Close the Velcro again.
2. Strap the arm belt loosely around your left or right forearm with the see-through window pointing up.
3. Feed the long end around your arm and through the clip at the short end of the arm belt.
4. Pull the long end all the way through and affix it with the Velcro.

You can then press the buttons on the GPS device through the window or the pocket as before.

Recording/riding a route

The GPS receiver needs to receive at least four GPS satellites for you to be able to adjust the following settings. This is indicated by the signal strength indicator in the top left-hand corner of the display (2).

While you are riding, you can use the confirmation button (5) in each of the available screen views to record your route at any time. The GPS device saves the waypoints you pass. You can then access the routes later and ride them in either direction using the arrow guide. This means you need never stray from your route, even in thick forest or darkness.

You can use the screen symbols to control route recording or display.

How to record a route:

1. Press and hold the confirmation button (5) for 3 seconds. This brings up a pop-up menu showing the symbols ▶, ▪ and ■.

▶: Start. Starts route recording or playback.

III: Pause. Temporarily pauses route recording.

■: Stop. Stops route recording or playback.

1. Press the ◀ and ▶ button (4 and 7) to select the ▶ icon (start) and press the confirmation button (5) to start recording.

2. Ride the selected route. If you fancy a break along the way, hold the confirmation button (5) down for three seconds in order to show the pop-up menu again, select the ■ symbol (pause) and press the confirmation button (5) to pause recording temporarily.

At the end of your break when you want to carry on with your ride, hold the confirmation button (5) down for three seconds in order to show the pop-up menu again, select the symbol (start) and press the confirmation button (5). Your GPS device continues recording the current route (no new route is created).

1. Once you have reached your destination, you can stop recording your route. Hold the confirmation button (5) down for three seconds to display the pop-up menu, press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7), select the ■ symbol (Stop) and press the confirmation button (5) to stop recording and save the route.

The routes are automatically saved with the date and time of the recording as a filename. In order to keep an overview of the list of routes in the future and make sure you do not ride the wrong route by accident, we recommend editing the routes using the PC software supplied and renaming them so that they are clear. Example: Station to lake.

How to ride a recorded route:

1. In any screen view, press the Menu button (1) to display the main menu. Press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7), select the "Track Back" option and then press the confirmation button (5). This displays a list of recorded routes.

2. Press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7), select the route you want and then press the confirmation button (5). This brings up a selection menu with "Backward" and "Forward" options.

Select "Backward" to ride the route backwards, i.e. from the destination to the starting point.

Select "Forward" to ride the route forwards, i.e. from the start to the destination point.

This brings up a compass with a guide arrow pointing in the direction to go. If a screen other than the compass appears, press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7) and select the compass screen.

Distance to destination

If the guide arrow points right, you need to turn right until it is pointing forwards again. If the guide arrow points left, you need to turn left until it is pointing forwards again. Once you have reached your destination, a picture of a bike rider next to a chequered flag flashes for a few seconds. The device then switches back to a normal compass display (with no route guidance).

POIs

POI means 'point of interest', i.e. a place that could be important. POIs can be banks, railway stations, airports or sights, restaurants, cafés and other facilities.

Your GPS device allows you to save various locations as POIs and even to classify them.

How to save your location as a POI:

The GPS receiver needs to receive at least four GPS satellites for you to be able to adjust the following settings. This is indicated by the signal strength indicator in the top left-hand corner of the display (2).

1. In any screen view, press the confirmation button (5) to bring up a selection menu of POI symbols.

2. Press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7) and select the symbol which best describes the current location (e.g. the sun for a beach).

3. Press the confirmation button (5) to save the current location as a POI. Or press the Menu button (1) to cancel.

How to ride to a POI at a later date:

1. In any screen view, press the Menu button (1) followed by the confirmation button (5). This opens the POI menu.
2. Press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7), select the POI you want and then press the confirmation button (5). Then select the option "DIRECT" to be taken to it.

The compass display with a guide arrow appears. Follow the guide arrow to get to the POI. If a screen other than the compass appears, press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7) and select the compass screen.

The guide arrow merely shows the direct route to your POI. As your GPS device does not contain any map information and you need to use passable routes, you need to find a route which comes as close as possible to the guide direction. If the arrow points left through a fenced-off field, you can go straight on and take the next turning on the left.

Homing mode

"Homing mode" is a special function on your GPS device which can take you directly home at any time.

To use the homing mode, you need to first define your home as a POI with the house symbol 📁.

How to get homing mode to take you home:

1. Press the Menu button (1) to display the menu.
2. Press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7), select the "Settings" option and then "Homing mode".
3. Press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7), select the "On" option and then press the confirmation button (5).
4. Exit all open menus by pressing the Menu button (1) several times.

The compass display with a guide arrow appears. Follow the guide arrow to get to home. If a screen other than the compass appears, press the ◀ and ▶ buttons (4 and 7) and select the compass screen.

Advanced Functions

Transferring data to the PC

You can transfer recorded routes from your GPS device to your PC and manage them using the PC software supplied. You can analyse the routes you have ridden and design new routes or POIs on the map and transfer them to your GPS device.

To use the PC software supplied on CD, your PC must meet the requirements set out in the "System requirements" section (see page 77).

Connecting the GPS device to your PC

1. Open the cover for the USB port (6).
2. Connect the small end of the USB cable supplied to the USB port (6) and the other end to the USB port on your computer.
   The screen of the GPS device then switches on. A "Welcome" message will appear for a few seconds, followed by a PC connection display. (When powering the device with a USB power adapter, a battery charge indicator appears.)

"Guider Application" PC software

1. Insert the CD-ROM supplied into the CD or DVD drive of your computer.
2. Open the content of the CD in Windows and double click on the file "Guider-Targa.exe". This opens up the "Guider Application" program in the map view. The program is in English by default. (Depending on the security settings of your operating system, you may get a message that the publisher of the software could not be identified and asking whether you really want to run the program. Of course, there is no risk in running this program.)

If you do not wish to start the program from CD every time, you can copy the file "Guider-Targa.exe" to a folder on the local hard drive of your PC or even the Desktop. This makes it quick and easy to start in the future.

Cannot switch GPS device on.

• Recharge the battery. See "Charging the battery" on page 79.
• If you have connected the GPS device to a computer, it is in PC connection mode and it cannot be operated using the buttons. Disconnect the device from the PC.

The GPS device does not respond.

• If you have connected the GPS device to a computer, it is in PC connection mode and it cannot be operated using the buttons. Disconnect the device from the PC.
• If the GPS device is not connected to a PC and still does not respond, you can try to reset it. To do this, hold the ◀ button (7) and the on/off button (8) down at the same time. The device will then start up with its factory settings: the menu language is English and all user-defined settings are deleted. Only the routes you have recorded and the POIs you have saved are retained after a reset.

The GPS device is not showing any data.

- The GPS device needs to receive at least four GPS satellites to determine your current position and track movements. You need to have a clear view of as much sky as possible. Narrow roads, tall buildings made of reinforced concrete and factories, subways, tunnels, etc. impede satellite reception. Change your location and try again.

The GPS device does not show the routes I have ridden.

• First, you need to start route recording manually. See "Recording/riding a route" on page 93.
• You have already saved a lot of waypoints or routes on the device and the memory is full. Free up memory by going to Menu / Settings / Clear data and deleting any data you do not need, or transfer the data on the device to your PC using the "Guider Application" software supplied and then clear the data via the menu.

The "Guider Application" software does not show any maps or data.

- Your PC needs to be connected to the Internet for the software to be able to load the maps from Google Maps or Google Earth and show your route data.
