batteryandallowsyoutouseitoutsideyourvehicle.ThecarchargercablechargesyourGPSreceiver

whiledriving.YoucanalsochargethebatteryofyourGPSreceiverinapowersocketwithamains

adapterbeforetravel,ajourneyorabicycleormotorcycletour.



ThisGPSreceiverisastate‐ of‐ the‐ artdeviceofthehighestquality.ThankstobatteryandBluetooth

technology,youcanusetheGPSreceivercompletelycablefree.Inadditiontothisthebuilt‐in

automaticshutdownensuresalongoperatingtime.TheSiRFStarIIIchipsetinstalledhasverylowpower

consumptionandoffersthehighestlevelsofGPSsensitivity.



ThismanualexplainstheoperationoftheGPSreceiver.



BeforeusingtheGPSreceiverforthefirsttimecarefullyobservethenotesinchapter3"SafetyNotes",

page5.



SatGuidewishesyouagoodjourneyandenjoyyournavigation!



GOODTOKNOW

1) BeforeusingyourGPSreceiverforthefirsttime,pleasefullychargethebatteryforabout1.5

hours.

2) Neverchargewithanunspecifiedchargerorspecifiedchargerthathasbeenmodified.This

cancausebreakdownofthebatteryorswellingandrupturing.

3) Don’toverchargetheGPSreceiverthanmentioningtimeinthefirstpoint.

4) Neveroverchargewithhighcurrents(i.e.higherthanrated,thuscausingbatteriestoswellor

rupture.Don'tleavetheGPSreceiver with chargeronceitisfullycharged.

2. GeneralInformation



2.1WhatisGPS?



TheGPS(GlobalPositioningSystem)satellitesystemwasoriginallysetupbytheMinistryofDefenseof

theUnitedStatesofAmericainordertoimproveprecisecontrolformilitarypurposes.TheUScongress

grantedfundsatthattimeforsettingupthesystem,howeveronlyontheconditionthatitwasalso

madeavailableforfreecivilianuse.



GPSsatellitessendtwodivergentsignals:anencoded,veryprecisesignalforNATO(P)andan

unencryptedsignalforcivilianpurposes,i.e.foreveryone(L1).YourGPSreceivercanreceivethe

unencryptedsignalforcivilianpurposes(L1).TheciviliansignalcanbeusedbymeansofGPSreceivers

byanyone,atanytime,world‐wideandlicensefreee.g.forvehiclenavigation.



AlsotheGPSsatellitesysteminEuropeisoperatedbytheGovernmentoftheUnitedStatesofAmerica

whichalsohasexclusiveresponsibilityfortheaccuracyandmaintenanceofthesystem.Thesystemis

constantlyimprovedandmodificationscanconsequentlyinfluencetheaccuracyandtheperformanceof

theGPSreceiver.



Achievableaccuracyfortheciviliansignaliscurrentlyabout10meters.Before2ndMay2000thissignal

wasintentionallyfalsifiedbytheUSA(SA,SelectiveAvailability)andachievableaccuracywas100mat

thattime."SelectiveAvailability"orSAistheartificialdegradationofthesatellitesignalbytheUS

military.Thesignalcancurrentlystillbeartificiallyfalsifiedinemergencies.Thiscanleadtosubstantial

impairmentswiththeuseofyourGPSreceiverandmakeitunusable,atleasttemporarily,forcertain

applications,e.g.navigation.SatGuidehasnoinfluenceonthis.



Thereareabout30satellites(24satellitespluscorrectionandreservesatellites)onsixpathsin

circulation,ofwhichupto12canbepresentoverthehorizon.YourGPSreceiverhas20channelsand

canthereforereceivesignalsfromall12satellitesatthesametime,aslongasitisinvisualcontactwith

them,resultinginoptimizedcalculationoftheGPSreceiver'sposition.



WheneveryourGPSreceiverhasaccesstoaclearsky,itcandetermineitsposition,directionandspeed

withinashortperiodoftime.ThickcloudsandheavyrainfallcanimpairGPSreception.Thetimeittakes

toestablishinitialcontacttothesatellites(Time‐ to‐ First‐ Fix,TTFF)isreducedconsiderablybyan

assistedGPSfunctionalityinSatGuideandcantakefewsecondswhentheassistedfunctionalityis

availableandaccesstoclearskyisunobstructedorseveralminuteswhenconditionsarenotoptimal.



2.2WhatisBluetooth?

Bluetoothisanopenstandardforanewandeffectivetechnologyforwirelesscommunicationbetween

desktopsandlaptops,PDAs,mobilephones,cameraphones,printers,digitalcameras,computermice,

keyboards,GPSreceiversetc.



WirelessBluetoothtechnologyusesagloballyavailablefrequency(2.4GHz)inordertoguarantee

worldwidecompatibility.Inshort:BluetoothmakesyourGPSreceivercablefreeandmakesmessycable

connectionsathingofthepast.WiththeBluetoothtechnologyintegratedintoyourGPSreceiveryou

canconnecttoaBluetoothenabledmobilephone–wirelessly–withinaradiusofabout10m.

4. FirstSteps



4.1Chargingthebuilt–inbattery



UsingtheCarChargerCable:



Plugthechargercableintothecigarettelightersocketofyourcar(12Vto24V).Dependingonthecar

youmighthavetoturntheignitionkeytoposition1or2inordertopowerthecigarettelighter.Please



ATTENTION:

Makesureyouobservethenotesinchapter3"SafetyNotes"page5beforeusingtheGPSreceiver

forthefirsttime.

ATTENTION:

UsethecarchargercableonlyforchargingyourGPSreceiverasdescribedinthisusermanualand

notforchargingmobilesorotherdevices.Thebatteryisbuilt‐inandcanonlybechargedinsidethe

GPSreceiver.Thebatter

mustbechar

edbeforefirstuse.





(forillustration)



Assoonasthecarchargercableissuppliedwithelectricityfromthecigarettelightersocket,thepower

displayofthecarchargercablelightsup.



ATTENTION:

Ifsurgesoccurwhenstartingtheengine,werecommendyoutoremovethecarchargercablefrom

thecigarettelightersocketwhenstarting.



10



Incaruseandmainsoperation–connectingtheGPSreceiverwiththechargercable:



Inserttheplug(Øabout2mm)ofthecarchargercableintothechargingsocketoftheGPSreceiver.



 

(forillustration)

Whilstchargingthebatterythebatterydisplayshowsayellowlight.Whenthebatteryisfully

chargedtheyellowlightinthebatterydisplaydisappears.Thedeviceisthenreadyforuse.Please

removethechargercablefromthesocketoftheGPSreceiverandthecarchargerdevicefromthe

cigarettelightersocketorthemainsadapterfromthemainssocket.



ForlongbatterylifetheGPSreceiverhastotaldischargeprotection.About15minutesbeforeautomatic

shutdownthebatterydisplayshowsaredlight.Pleasechargethebatterypromptly.



\



Normalchargingtimeisabout2hours.IfyouchargetheGPSreceiverwhennavigatingandthe

GPSreceiverisswitchedonchargingcantakelonger.



Notethatanewbatteryachievesfullperformanceonlyafterhavingbeenfullychargedanddischarged

twoorthreetimes!Thebatterycanbechargedanddischargedhundredsoftimesbuteventuallywears

out.Iftheoperatingtimeisclearlyshorterthannormallythebatterymustbechangedbyaqualified

customerservicerepresentative.



ATTENTION:

Pleasefullychargethebatteryforabout1.5hoursbeforefirstuse.
