INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing di-GPS® Eco ProSumer PS10-M series GPS receiver (digital images GPS).
di-GPS® Eco ProSumer PS10-M series GPS receiver (thereafter “Eco PS10-M GPS”) is specially
designed for a DSLR (Digital Single-lens Reflex) camera. It provides real time position (latitude,
longitude, elevation) and the precise time (UTC time) information to your DSLR camera. It records
the locations to each digital image file so that you will never forget the exact location where you took
the pictures.
Eco PS10-M GPS has built with the latest third generation MTK MT3339 ultra low power consumption
GPS engine. It supports up to 66 channels of satellite tracking with -165dBm sensitivity. Eco PS10-M
GPS repeats the last fixed position(1) when no GPS signal is available or the unit is out of GPS coverage
with real UTC date/time.
Eco PS10-M GPS allows you to save your present location data to your digital image file. Its State-Of-
The-Art technology provides extremely fast TTFF (Time-To-First-Fix), unrivaled high sensitivity and
superior performance in virtually any outdoor environment. Eco PS10-M GPS receiver can work in a
place where GPS was not possible before: in the woods, under very heavy foliage, canyons, terrain
obstructions, in cities with densely populated high-rise buildings and even inside a train or a car, with
no external antenna required. It is designed to meet the rigorous demands of today's digital
photographers.

RECORDING GPS DATA (III)
Each satellite broadcasts a digital message that contains two types of information. One type is
ephemeris data, which includes the assigned serial number of the satellite, the status of the satellite
(healthy or faulty), current date and time. The second type is almanac data which includes precise
orbital position of every satellite in the system.
At the initial stage, ECO PS10-M GPS needs all these data for the position fixed. It usually takes a
minute to few minutes to receive all data. An open sky outdoor environment will enable faster
acquisition process. It will take a longer time at a weak signal environment. Once Eco PS10-M GPS
locks to the satellites, it will take a few seconds for reacquisition even at weak signal environment.
The EASY™ function is Embedded Assist System for quick positioning. Eco PS10-M GPS will calculate
and predict automatically the single emperies (Max. up to 3 days) when power on, and save the
predict information into the memory, Eco PS10-M GPS will use these information for positioning if no
enough information from satellites, this function will be helpful for positioning weak signal
environment.
Before the EASY™ function works properly, Eco PS10-M GPS needs to collect enough information
from satellites. The GPS usually needs 1-2 minutes to collect all information from satellites after the
first fix. Please let the GPS turn on for 1-2 minutes after the first fix for the first time of use.
Eco PS10-M GPS has a memory backup capacitor inside. The capacitor can provide about two
minutes power to the internal memory after disconnect from the camera of changing battery. To
avoid the lost of ephemeris data in the internal memory, Eco PS10-M GPS should be connected to the
camera all the time. The internal memory only consumes a very small amount of energy, it will not
affect the battery life of the camera. As the ephemeris data only be good for 3 days maximum, Eco
PS10-M GPS should be disconnected from the camera if the camera will not be used for a long period
of time.

LAST POSITION RETENTION (“LPM”)
Eco PS10-M GPS is able to provide the last known GPS position with current UTC date / time (1) to
the DSLR camera even if there is the GPS signal is lost or the unit is out of the GPS coverage.
No fix will be reported when no GPS position. The camera’s GPS icon will flash and no GPS
data will be recorded.
A first fix is needed during initialization before the LPR works properly.
Current GPS position will immediately be reported to the camera once the new fix available.
Last known GPS position with current UTC date / time will be continuously reported when
the GPS signal is lost, the unit is out of GPS coverage, until there is a good position fix.
The last known position will be saved to internal memory every 5 seconds. The GPS unit has
a built-in power backup capacitor. The capacitor provides about two minutes power to the
internal memory / internal clock running after disconnecting from the camera. When the
power of internal capacitor exhausted, the GPS unit will report no GPS position. The
camera’s GPS icon will flash and no GPS data will be recorded.
