The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Although the GPS 15H & 15L Products are precision electronic Navigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAIDcan be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use these products at your own risk. To reduce the risk, carefully review, and all aspects of these Technical Specifications before using the GPS 15H & 15L. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS to all available navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, chart, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.19Appendix B. Cautions
Class BThe GPS 15H & 15L products comply with part 15 of the FCC interference limits for class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation, and are more stringent than "outdoor" requirements.Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try correcting the interference by one or more of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antennaIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.The GPS 15H & 15L products don't contain any user-serviceable parts. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under part 15 regulation20
ITE is subdivided into two categories denoted class A ITE and class B ITE.Class A ITEClass A ITE is a category of all other ITE which satisfies the Class A ITE limits but not the Class B ITE limits. Such equipment should not be restricted in its sale but the following warning shall be included in the instructions for use:Class B ITEClass B ITE is a category of apparatus which satisfies the Class B ITE disturbance limits. Class B ITE is intended primarily for use in the domestic environment and may include:- equipment with no fixed place of use; for example, portable equipment powered by built-in batteries;- telecommunication terminal equipment powered by a telecommunication network;- personal computers and auxiliary connected equipment.WarningThis is a Class A product. In a domestc environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.21
Appendix C. GPS FAQ23Q: Why does the GPS positioning fail, even though the satellite signal appears to be normal on my PDA?A: The reason might be that the GPS has not been used for a while, and the GPS needs to be reset. You may follow the steps below to reset for positioning with "Cold Start" under "Navigator" application utility.1. Tools Port Setting set the "Com Port" and "baud rate" to 4800 click "OK".2. Tools Command select "Cold Start" click "OK".Q: Why does the position of the car drift around on the map even when my PDA is properly positioned?A: This might be caused by unstable satellite signal and weak signal resulting from locating in heavily blocked areas, which affect the positioning of the car onto the map.Q: Why are there no sign of signal transmission in my map utility program and positioning fails even though my GPS is connected?A: This might be caused by incorrect COM Port setting. Most of the PDA map utility programs search for GPS device, and the GPS device is not found in this case. It is suggested that you set the COM Port settings manually instead.
24Q: Why is the GPS device not found by the PDA map utility program after positioning is completed by the "Navigator"?A: "Navigator" is an application utility that users can use to test for GPS. After using "Navigator", you have to disconnect the GPS device in order to release the COM Port before proceeding with the positioning by your PDA map utility program. Otherwise, the COM Port will still be occupied by Navigator , and the PDA map utility program will not find the GPS device.Q: Why can't I get the positioning to work with my GPS at home or areas by the windows?A: GPS is really used for outdoor positioning navigation, and the satellite signal is difficult to be received at home. Especially, it takes a while to get the positioning to work for the very first time. Therefore, positioning must be done outdoors where satellite signal can be received.Q: Why can't I install "Navigator" application utility on my PDA?A: "Navigator" application utility can be installed directly on most of the PDAs.For those PDA models that have installation problems, you can search for a file called "Navigator.ARM.CAB" among the installation files. Copy this file to any folder on your PDA, and install "Navigator" application utility by clicking on the file directly.Q: Under what circumstances do I have to perform "Cold Start"?A: If the positioning usage time is longer than two weeks or the location of positioning is greater than 500 km away from the previous location of positioning, then you will need to perform "Cold Start".
