▶GPS Related Facts
• Upon initial use or when the unit has not been used for a long period of time, it might take 5-30 minutes for
the current location to be recognized after power-up
• GPS signals operate at high frequencies. Climatic elements including rain and fog, electronic jamming, and
surrounding high voltage lines may cause the signal to be weak.
• In high-rise downtowns, tunnels, overpass or underpass, there may be disruption in the operation of the
GPS because the reception may be weakened or broken by surrounding structures.
• Affixing a sticker or coloring the GPS receiver may result in poor reception signals or even permanent dam-
ages to the unit
• UV coating or tinting materials for the windshield may cause the GPS reception to fail.
