5. Use –Android general tips
5.1. The Device is powered by Android operating system. In case you use Android powered
smartphone, the environment should be familiar to you.
5.2. For general Android guide refer here:
https://support.google.com/android/?hl=en#topic=7313011
5.3. Google Play:
5.3.1. Recommendation: use GPS and let the Device achieve 3D position lock before you
sign into your Google account (that will let Google choose the correct version of
their apps based on your location);
5.3.2. the Device has been pre-certified with Google. To use Google Services (and Play
Store), simply log into your Google account;
5.3.3. you might need to let the Google apps to update, before you will get full use of
Google Play Store app. To check for updates, open Play Store app and before you
sign-in, open the Overflow Menu (three dots top right corner) and select “Check
for updates”:
5.3.4. you can use the same Google account on the Device, which you use on your
Android smartphone. That will let you enjoy apps you might have already
purchased also on the Device (subject to operating system compatibility and
subject to other limitations Google might chose to impose on your purchases).
5.3.5. It might take a while, before your previous purchases appear as available for
download. In exceptional cases, you might need to clear the cache for both Google
Services and Google Play Store apps, perform manual Google apps update and sign
into your Google account again (refer to Google Certification manual on our
Support web page).
6. Use –Carpe Iter specifics
6.1. CI Pad automatically starts when it is connected to power (USB wall charger, Holder/M8
charging cable).
6.2. The Device comes with pre-installed Carpe Manager app (“Manager app”):

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
6.3. The Manager app provides additional functionality and is used to download software
specific for the Device and its updates. Please refer to our web pages for details.
6.4. It is essential to regularly check the Manager app for updates and new downloads available
for the Device. These updates might not only enhance functionality, but also remedy known
issues.
7. Charging/Battery Indicator
7.1. The Device can be charged via it’s USB-C port, charging pads on the back of the Device and
M8 connector.
7.2. The Device will automatically start, when power is detected on charging input. The feature
is conditional to sufficient battery level (the device will not start automatically, if the
battery is depleted at the time power was detected on charging inputs).
7.3. Use the provided USB wall charger to charge the Device through the USB port. NEVER use
other brands quick USB chargers (especially quick chargers can damage the USB and
charging circuitry).
7.4. For charging the Device on your motorcycle, you must use M8 charging cable with the
specific version of Carpe Iter proprietary power source included in the kit. Using any other
power source will void your warranty. Do NOT replace the connectors between the Holder /
M8 charging cable and the power source nor otherwise interfere with the wiring. Re-wiring
the connection between the Holder / M8 charging cable and the power source will void
your warranty.
7.5. NEVER charge the Device via USB and M8 charging connector simultaneously. NEVER
charge the Device via USB and Holder simultaneously.
7.6. USB-C port must not be used, when the Device is employed on a motorcycle (except
when stationary with engine off). The shocks and vibrations the Device will receive when
riding would damage the USB port and opening the USB port will compromise water and
dust resistance of the Device.
7.7. The Device charging capacity is limited to approximately 2A. If too many services are
running on the Device, the current consumption might exceed the charging capacity, which
will result in gradual battery level decrease, even when charging. Almost 70% of charging

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
capacity is drawn by the LCD when set to full brightness. In case of increased requirements
on energy consumption reduce LCD brightness.
7.8. The Device’s charging capacity is more than sufficient for casual use (LCD to full brightness,
GPS on, one actively running navigation application with track recording).
7.9. CARPE Manager app will automatically cycle the battery between 60-80% when charging
via USB wall charger, Holder and M8 charging cable. It will take in consideration your
battery level, temperature, calibration accuracy, system load input current and screen
brightness to adjust the charging in more than 40 possible combinations. Under certain
conditions charging to 100% will be automatically allowed by the charging algorithms, such
as in case the battery level indicator needs calibration (see Section 7.12).
7.10. The power management can be turned off by disabling AI charging algorithms, which will
allow charging to 100% capacity (it is not recommended to keep the Pad charged to 100%,
since it can cause premature battery failure and overheating):
7.11. System battery level indicator (battery level shown on main screen) is for orientation only.
It may be necessary to calibrate the battery level indicator from time to time to achieve
accurate readings (refer to Troubleshooting section). Regardless of the values shown by the
System battery level indicator, the real battery voltage is the only relevant criteria for the
Device’s operation (even when the System battery indicator is showing 1%, the Device will
not shut down until the battery voltage goes down to 3,5V).
7.12. The Carpe Manager app will attempt to calibrate the system battery level indicator at times
the deviation from real capacity will exceed acceptable parameters. The calibration process

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
may take a few minutes. During the calibration, the battery level indicator can show various
values, but they will settle after completing the calibration procedure.
7.13. Real battery level can be verified in the Manager app - Power&Charge (refer to Section 7.9)
or on the System pull down menu:
7.14. System battery level will not be equal to voltage level most of the time. This is normal
(System battery indicator is not linear to voltage level).
7.15. Voltage of fully charged battery after disconnecting from charger will be around 4,2V.
Voltage of fully depleted battery is 3,5V. When the voltage level of the battery meets 3,5V
or drops below, the Device will automatically shut down to prevent damage to the battery.
8. Operating conditions / instructions
8.1. The Device is not designed to be placed on your vehicle permanently. When not in use,
remove the Device from your vehicle and store it in a safe place with temperature between
0 –35°C.
8.2. The Device should not be operated outside ambient temperature range between 0-40°C or
the battery contained in the Device or it’s electronics can be damaged. The Device has
temperature protection system, which might cause the Device not to start or shut down
automatically, when the operating temperature range is exceeded. This automated
protection system is only a fail-safe and does not relieve you of the need to ensure yourself
correct operating conditions.
8.3. Considerable heat is generated by the Device’s LCD and when charging. When high ambient
temperatures are present, overheating might be prevented by reducing LCD brightness
and/or disabling charging. While charging on the motorcycle, the Device will attempt to
cycle between 60 and 80% battery capacity, which not only preserves the battery, but also
reduces the chances of overheating (the charging algorithms might attempt to reach 100%
battery capacity in a particular case, if full battery charge is required to calibrate battery
level indicator and/or the temperature and other conditions allow that);
8.4. If you need to use the Device in sub-zero temperatures, make sure the Device is not
thoroughly cooled below 0°C before you start it (do not leave it on the bike). During use,

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
heat is generated inside the Device, so use in sub-zero temperatures is possible. Never use
the Device below minus 5°C (the heat generated by the Device’s operation might not be
sufficient to ensure minimum operating temperature).
8.5. Protect the Device from heat sources that could cause the temperature inside the Device
exceed the operating parameters mentioned above.
8.6. When your vehicle is stationary, protect the Device from direct sunshine, which can cause
the internal Device’s temperature to rise well above the ambient temperature (remove it
from the Holder or cover it).
8.7. Long term exposure to sunshine can cause LCD fading (such fading is not considered a
defect).
8.8. While riding in wet conditions (e.g. rain), protect the Device from direct airstream (position
it behind a wind shield / mask). At high speeds, the rain will create pressure equal to jet
water, which exceeds the Device’s protection rating.
8.9. When the Device is not in use, power it off to prevent complete battery depletion. The
Device will power down automatically when the battery is close to depletion. Nevertheless,
the Device still consumes small amount of energy even when in OFF state, which could lead
to deep battery discharge, if the Device were powered down at low battery level or even
powered down automatically because of depleted battery. Battery will be damaged or
destroyed by deep discharge. To prevent battery damage, ensure that a depleted battery is
re-charged immediately to at least 50% capacity.
8.10. If the Device is not in use for longer periods of time (more than 1 week), make sure the
battery is charged to at least 60% before it is powered down.
8.11. Protect the charging mating pads on the back of the Device from touching electrically
conductive material / liquids or the Device might be short-circuited (and destroyed as
consequence).
9. Carpe Iter Holder
9.1. The Carpe Iter Holder is specifically designed for the Device. Do not use the Holder for any
other equipment than the Device.
9.2. The Holder will ensure secure mounting of the Device.
9.3. The Holder includes a power source that was designed specifically for the Device. DO NOT
use the power source to power any other equipment than the Device.

9.7. Inserting Device into Holder
9.7.1. Correct Device placement / orientation in the Holder (M8 charging connector is
facing away from the spring-loaded retaining hook):
9.7.2. Never put the Device into the Holder in any other orientation than indicated
above. It will damage hardware buttons.
9.7.3. Correct Device inserting procedure:
9.7.3.1. Close all port flaps properly (see Section 4.5 and 4.6). If the flaps remain
even slightly open when you insert the Device into the Holder, they will
be damaged.
9.7.3.2. Open the spring-loaded retaining hook with one hand. With the Device
slightly lifted, push the Device gently into the fixed retaining hooks with
the other hand:

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
9.7.3.3. Make sure the Device is properly aligned with the locating elements on
longer sides of the Holder;
9.7.3.4. Press the Device gently into the Holder. Close the spring loaded retaining
hook:
9.7.3.5. If the Device was properly aligned and all port flaps are properly closed,
very little force is required to insert the Device into the Holder. If the
Device cannot be inserted into the Holder easily, check the Holder for
bends, check the Device for proper alignment, check that port flaps are
closed properly and try again.
9.7.3.6. using the lock in the Holder is optional (the Device will not fall out of the
Holder even when the lock is not engaged).
9.7.4. When properly inserted into the Holder, the Device will not freely move within the
Holder. DO NOT use force to check, if the Device is too loose in the Holder (you

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
might bend the Holder and/or damage the charging pins). If you feel the Device is
loose in the Holder, check the Holder for bends, check rubber foam inserts for
excessive wear. The rubber foam inserts are available as spare part. If the Device is
too loose in the Holder, it can cause premature failure due to excessive vibrations
and shocks.
9.8. Maintenance
9.8.1. Regularly check for loose screws and torque them as required;
9.8.2. Regularly check the Holder for bends (especially after a crash). Bent Holder might
not ensure secure retention of the Device;
9.8.3. All rubber and plastic parts are considered a consumable –to retain proper
function replace when necessary. All those items are available as spare parts.
10. M8 Cable brackets –installation
The graphics shown in this Section relate to generic Carpe Iter Lightweight holder. The holder
for your motorcycle is designed to be rotated by 180DEG, but the procedure to mount the M8
charging cable is otherwise identical.
10.1.Description
10.2. Mount both brackets in orientation as indicated on the picture above using the
provided mounting hardware (M3x10 bolts and M3 nuts with nylon insert). When
mounting the Cable bracket, insert the M8 charging cable before you insert the bolts.
10.3. Only torque bolts on Connector Brackets. Do not overtighten.
10.4. Leave bolts on Cable bracket loose at this stage.
10.5.Place the connector on the M8 charging cable into the Connector bracket and
position the cable in a relaxed arch as shown on the graphics below. Tighten bolts
on Cable brackets slightly so that you can still move the cable by hand.

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
10.6.Verify the position of the cable by inserting the M8 charging cable connector in CI
Pad M8 charging connector. Make sure the free length of the cable allows for a
relaxed arch as shown on the graphics below –adjust the free length as required by
pulling the cable through the Cable bracket in one or other direction. When the free
M8 charging cable length is correct, it will form a relaxed arch as show on the
graphics below. The cable must not strain the CI Pad M8 charging connector in any
direction.
10.7.If the M8 charging cable was positioned correctly in the Cable bracket, its free
length will allow for easy insertion of the connector into the Connector bracket
without straining the cable in either direction.

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
10.8.Torque screws on Cable bracket.
10.9.The Connector bracket can store both the cap for CI Pad M8 connector and cap for
M8 charging cable. Screw both caps together before storing them in the bracket to
prevent debris collecting inside the caps.
11. Power source
11.1.1. The CI Pad must never be connected to a power source with higher voltage
level than 5,5V VDC (direct current). CI Pad must not be powered by other than
the provided USB wall charger or the Carpe proprietary power source. Failure to
follow these instructions will void the warranty.
11.1.2. The power source is equipped with auto-switching function, which is linked to
ignition. For proper function, the Ignition Sensing Cable must be connected to the
corresponding socket in Terrain Command III wire harness (Terrain Command III
comes as part of the kit). Please refer to the graphics:
11.1.3. The power source will start within 30 seconds after ignition is started and voltage
exceeding 5V is detected on the Ignition Sensing Cable (the “Switching

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
Threshold”). Once the power source starts, operating current is drawn from the
input connector. The input connector is designed to mate with corresponding
power outlet on your motorcycle.
11.1.4. Green LED indicates active state of the power source. Active state is triggered by
voltage exceeding Switching Threshold in the Ignition Sensing Cable and
simultaneously power being available on the input connector (both connectors
must be connected for proper operation.
11.1.5. Do NOT start ignition on your motorcycle before connecting both the
Ignition Sensing Cable and input connector.
11.1.6. The power source will switch-off automatically when ignition on your motorcycle is
turned off to prevent motorcycle battery drain.
11.1.7. Before you start charging your vehicle’s battery disconnect the M8 charging cable
from the Device.
11.1.8. The power source includes reverse polarity and over-heating protection. It will
only provide overvoltage protection up to 20VDC on input (maximum voltage
rating). Exceeding the maximum voltage rating will destroy the power source and,
as a consequence, might also destroy the Device.
11.1.9. DO NOT change the stock connectors on the power source’s output leads.
Any tempering with wires and connectors on the output will void your warranty
for both the Holder and the Device and we will NOT provide any assistance with
debugging possible issues in such case.
11.1.10. It is recommended that you apply electrical contact grease on all connectors
between M8 charging cable and power source and between the power source and
your motorcycle.
11.1.11. The power source can be operated in ambient temperatures up to 60°C. The
output current generated by the power source might decrease, when ambient
temperature exceeds 50°C. Do not place the power source close to your vehicle’s
engine or cooling radiators, or overheating can occur.
12. Troubleshooting
12.1. Software issues:
12.1.1. If the Device is malfunctioning or you are experiencing application crashes or
hangs, reboot and/or reset the Device (press Reset button);
12.1.2. If the unwanted behavior does not improve, perform Factory reset (this will,
however, wipe all your data and delete all installed applications) or follow
instructions given by Carpe Tech support. Support ticket can be filed here:
https://carpe-iter.com/support/ticket/
12.1.3. If the issue concerns a third party app, contact the application developer and
report the problem (third party applications are beyond our control and most
issues require to fix a bug contained in that third party application);

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
12.1.4. If the crashes or other unwanted behavior relates to Carpe Iter applications, file a
Support Ticket on our website (https://carpe-iter.com/support/ticket/).
12.2. GPS does not lock position within 10 minutes:
12.2.1. reboot the Device;
12.2.2. connect to the Internet so that the Carpe Manager can download GPS assist data.
Alternatively, wait 15-20 minutes for the GPS chip to download assistance data
from GNSS satellites automatically;
12.2.3. if you disabled Location services in System settings, enable Location services and
reboot the Device (rebooting is necessary after cycling Location services
disable/enable);
12.2.4. achieving position lock requires that GNSS satellites are in view and not obstructed
by materials/structures impenetrable by the satellites’ signal. Therefore,
positioning services will not be available inside most buildings and may be
compromised by difficult conditions, such as deep valleys or streets surrounded by
tall buildings (city canyons). When performing a GPS position test, go outside
where there is a good sky-view. First position lock after longer period of idle or
after significantly changing location after last position lock might take longer time,
especially if the Device is not connected to internet (up to 10 minutes to achieve
first position lock. Subsequent position locks should be much faster). If position
lock is not achieved under the aforesaid conditions, contact our support team;
12.3. GPS position lock is unreliable (real location is far off or is “jumping”):
12.3.1. Turn off Google Location Accuracy improvement (it actually does not improve
position in many cases / not reliably):

ULW Czech, s.r.o.
V Ráji 34, Praha 9 - Hostavice, 198 00, CZ, IČO: 28256212, DIČ: CZ28256212
12.3.2. Make sure you have good sky-view (location accuracy might degrade in difficult
terrain, such as deep valleys, steep slopes, high surrounding buildings, …);
12.3.3. Make sure the GPS antenna is not covered. When the Device is in Portrait, make
sure the antenna is facing up:
12.4. Device does not start:
12.4.1. make sure the Device is charged. Connect the Device to the provided USB wall
charger. The Device will automatically start when connected to charging. If the
charging icon does not appear within 3 hours of charging (the battery might be
deeply discharged and it will take time for it to exceed minimum voltage
threshold), disconnect from the charger and contact customer support;
12.4.2. press Reset button and power up CI Pad again;
12.5. Device shuts down immediately after starting: battery is depleted - charge it;
12.6. Device shuts down immediately after starting even when connected to charging: battery is
depleted. Keep the device connected to charging and immediately after system boots
reduce screen brightness or turn screen off (short press on Power button) –LCD drains a lot
of power, which causes the battery to drop below minimum voltage operating threshold
and subsequent automatic shut-down.
12.7. Device does not charge (charging is NOT indicated on the System Bar and Carpe Manager
app - Power&Charge tab, although the Device is connected to a power source –USB

12.7.1. USB port: make sure you use correct and properly functioning USB charger. Check
that the wall socket you use is actually supplied with electricity;
12.7.2. M8 charging cable:
A. Power source does not show green LED: Make sure the Ignition Sensing
Cable is properly connected (see Section 11.1.2) and ignition on your
motorcycle is ON. Check voltage on the motorcycle auxiliary power socket
with ignition ON –the voltage needs to be above the Switching Threshold
(5V). Possible causes: engine not running, broken wire, blown fuse, bad
contact in a connector;
B. Power source shows green LED, but the Device is not charging (no charging
indication on the System Bar and in the Carpe Manager app): check proper
mating of the M8 charging cable connectors, make sure the Device is not in
a discharge cycle (see Section 7.9).
12.8. Device does not charge sufficiently (battery level goes down, but active charging IS
indicated on the System Bar and Carpe Manager app - Power&Charge):
12.8.1. check your current consumption. If it on average (occasional spikes should not
matter) exceeds 2A, shut down some of the running apps and processes to bring
the consumption down (charging limitation of the Device is 2A). Current
consumption can be checked in the Carpe Manager –Power&Charge tab or system
pull-down menu, while the Device is disconnected from charging.
12.8.2. check all cables for broken leads. Check and clean all connectors M8 cable and the
power source and your motorcycle (unplug, apply contacts cleaner followed by
electrical contacts grease and re-plug).
12.9. System battery level indicator seems wrong:
12.9.1. System battery level indicator will not match voltage level indicated by the Carpe
Manager most of the time. That is normal.
12.9.2. The Carpe Manager app charging algorithms will attempt to calibrate the battery
level indicator automatically (see Section 7.12).
12.9.3. Wrong readings from System battery level indicator have no negative impact on
normal use of the Device.
12.9.4. System battery level indicator is for general orientation only. The only
measurement relevant for actual battery level is battery voltage, which can be
checked in the Manager app - Power&Charge tab.
13. Disclaimer
13.1. Unless explicitly stated for a specific Carpe Iter item (the Device, Holder, their accessories,
brackets and other Carpe Iter equipment) (“Item”) otherwise, no testing or homologation
procedures were taken to ensure compliance with regulations associated with using the
Items in regular traffic –on the streets. Use at your own risk.
13.2. Make sure that Items with sharp edges are positioned so that the sharp edge does not face
the rider. Always dismount Items, which you are not currently using –especially empty
holders and brackets (which may form a sharp edge, when empty).
