Trouble Shooting

  • If the software loading fails. The home, lock and GPS lights will flash 5 times.
  • The USB may be in the wrong format, the SatKing Orbit requires FAT-32 format. (The change the format to FAT-32 make sure you back up your existing files on the stick as changing the format will wipe the files.) Insert the USB stick into a PC and check the format of the drive by selecting the USB file and right clicking and going to “Properties”, if the file is not FAT-32 you need to go to “format” and select FAT-32 file system. Then you need to download the software again and repeat steps 1 thru 5 again.
  • It is important the USB size is 8GB or smaller.
  • Try a different USB stick.
  • Make sure you can see the 3x .BIN files on the USB stick
