¾Notice:
A signal transmitted from the satellite is very weak
because the satellite runs on an extremely high orbit. So
the guider is unable to receive the signals in a room
unlike wireless devices and mobile telephones. Please
pay attention to the details as below.
1. It can just be used in an open air without high
buildings or heavy forests which can block most of
the signals. The receiver can not get enough
messages from the satellite to count the coordinates
of the current position.
2. Don't use it in a place where the electric wave is
about 1.57GHz, especially under the high voltage
tower，for the signals is easy to be covered.
3. The high-distance value counted by GPS only

doesn’t equal to the altitude and the flight height
measured by barometer, for the datum mark of sea
level used is different.
ENVIRONMENT
Do not throw this electrical device away with
the normal household waste at the end of its life,
but hand it in an official collection point for
recycling. By doing this you will help to
preserve the environment.
