before, CHC recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn
about the special features of this product. If you are not familiar with GNSS, go to
www.chcnav.com for an interactive look at CHC and GNSS.
1.1 Safety Information
1.1.1 Warnings and Cautions
An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.
A Warning or Caution information is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury
and/or damage to the equipment.
WARNING - A Warning alerts you to a potential misused or wrong setting of the
equipment.
CAUTION - A Caution alerts you to a possible risk of serious injury to your person

1.1.2 Regulations and Safety
The receivers contain a built-in wireless modem for signal communication through
Bluetooth® wireless technology or through external communication datalink.
Regulations regarding the use of the wireless modem vary greatly from country to
