GPS Reception
GPS reception may be impaired under the following circumstances:
1. If there is an object at the end of the GPS antenna.
2. If your vehicle has metallic elements on the windsheilds.
3. If equipment generating electromagnetic waves that interfere with the GPS signal is installed in the
vehicle e.g. other GPS devices,such as a certain type of wireless activated alarms, MP3, CD players
and/or alarms using GPS.
4. If you are using a receiver connected by cable, electric interference can be avoided by simply
changing the location of the receiver (antenna).
5. On heavily overcast or cloudy days, if the vehicle is in a covered location such as under a bridge
or raised roadway, in a tunnel, an underground roadway or parking area, inside a building or
surrounded by high-rise buildings.
6. If GPS signal reception is poor, it may take longer to locate your current position when the vehicle
is moving than when it is stationary.
CP4 GPS and LTE antenna properly installed on the the vehicle dash.
DO NOT ATTACH THE LTE ANTENNA ONTO A METAL SURFACE
(Provide a minimum of 5 inches of separation between the antennas)

• The new SD card must be initialized with the CP4 Conguration Tool for the device to function
properly, and the right settings must be applied.
• IF SD card is not initialized (blank), the CP4 will automatically initialize the SD card
»Apply the latest NAND settings, during the rebooting process.
3. CP4 red LED is solid.
• Please verify proper voltage and amperage is being supplied to the Red (BAT+) & White (IGN+)
cables on the power harness and that the black cable is properly connected to BAT(-).
4. The CP4 green LED is blinking or o.
• Verify the SIM card is registered with the cellular network.
• Remove and re-insert the SIM card, vering the SIM is inserted correctly
• Cycle power to the camera.
