1. Activate the product in an area without large buildings to improve
GPS reception.
For commercial purposes GPS has an average range error of more than 15 meters
and the range error could be more than 100 meters depending on environmental
conditions like buildings and roadside trees etc.
2. The temperature range for optimum operation of the GPS receiver in
your car is -10 ~ 50°C.
3. When using the product for the rst time or after a long period (more than
three days), it may take a little longer to recognise your current location.
ItmaytakebetweenveandthirtyminutestogetGPSreception.
1)IfthereisanobjectattheendoftheGPSantenna.
2)Ifyourvehiclehasmetallicelementsonthewindshield.
3)IfequipmentgeneratingelectromagneticwavesthatinterferewiththeGPSsignal
are installed in the vehicle e.g. other GPS devices including certain types of
wireless activated alarms, MP3 and CD players and camera alarms using GPS.
4)Ifyouareusingareceiverconnectedbyacable,electricalinterferencecan
beavoidedbysimplychangingthelocationofthereceiver(antenna).

under a bridge or raised roadway, in a tunnel, an underground roadway or parking
area, inside a building or surrounded by high-rise buildings.
6)IfGPSsignalreceptionispoor,itmaytakelongertolocateyourcurrentposition
when the vehicle is moving than when it is stationary.
