OPERATION NOTICE OF GPS
GPS signal reception can be affected by the location of satellites, tall
buildings, tunnels, bridges, etc. If the GPS301 is not receiving a signal, you
will need to change your location until a signal is received.
The latitude, longitude, and altitude indications on the display are based on
WGS-84 Datum, and the altitude indication may not appear depending on
the signal conditions from GPS satellites.
• For safety reasons it is not recommended that the driver change any
settings while in motion. Please come to a complete stop or have a
passenger make changes if necessary.
• The Global Positioning System is operated and maintained by the US
Government. The US Government is completely responsible for the
accuracy of the Global Positioning System.
• The US Government reserves the right to make changes to the Global
Positioning System in accordance with the Department of Defence civil GPS
user policy and the Federal Radio navigation plan. These changes along
with poor satellite geometry could cause inaccurate readings.

INITIAL POWER ON DISPLAY
GPS SPEED ACCURACY
when the power is turned on for the first time only, the unit may
take up to 5 minutes to establish a satellite lock.
During this period the unit must remain on.
Future Power On should only take a few moments.
Generally the GPS Speed Display is more accurate than a car
speedometer although reacts slower. The Car Speedometer
often reads faster due to some of the following factors:
Conservatively calibrated speedometer by manufacturer, worn
tyres, low profile tyres, different sized wheels and the number of
available satellites.
The GPS LED will turn (from RED to GREEN) once satellite
information has been retrieved.
The start display shows the compass heading on the left of
the LED window and the current Speed (km)on the right.
The headings are;
N (North)
NE (North East)
NW (North West)
E (East)
SE (South East)
S (South)
SW (South West)
W (West)
