Safety cautions Appendix 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 NAVAID can 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. Frequently asked questions / troubleshooting Q: Why can't I install the WinFast Navigator utility on my PDA? A: WinFast Navigator is a GPS testing application that can be installed directly on most PDAs. If you encounter problems during installation, locate a file called Navigator.ARM.CAB in the installation folder. Copy this file to any folder on your PDA and install WinFast Navigator by tapping the file icon. Q: Why does the GPS positioning fail, even though the satellite signal appears to be normal on my PDA? A: A possible reason for this is that the GPS has not been used for a while and needs to be reset. Follow the steps below to reset the GPS for positioning. 23

Appendix 1. From the Navigator menu, tap Tools | Port Setting... and set the Port and BaudRate as described in “Configuring the settings” on page 14. Tap OK. 2. Tap Tools | Command and select Cold Start. Click OK to reset the GPS 9559X. Q: Under what circumstances do I have to perform Cold Start? A: If you have not used the GPS for positioning for a period longer than two weeks or if your current location is at a distance greater than 500 km from the previous location of positioning, then you will need to perform Cold Start. Q: Why is the GPS device not found by the PDA map utility program after positioning is completed by the WinFast Navigator utility? A: WinFast Navigator is an application that you can use to test the GPS and verify your position. You need to use your own map utility to view your position on a map. After using Navigator, you have to disconnect the GPS device in order to release the COM port before using your PDA map utility program for positioning. Otherwise, the COM port will still be occupied by Navigator and the PDA map utility program will not find the GPS device. Make sure you disconnect the GPS device before using your map utility. Q: Why does the position of the car drift around on the map even when my PDA and GPS 9559X are properly positioned? 24

Appendix A: This might be caused by unstable satellite signals or weak signals resulting from heavily blocked areas, which affect the positioning of the car on the map. Q: Why is 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 settings. Most PDA map utility programs search for GPS device automatically and the GPS device is not found. It is recommended that you set the COM port settings manually instead. Q: Why can't I get the GPS to position correctly at home or near areas close to windows? A: The GPS 9559X is intended to be used for outdoor positioning and navigation because satellite signals cannot be received with sufficient signal strength indoors. Moreover, it takes a while for the GPS to complete the positioning the first time it is used. Hence, positioning must be done outdoors where satellite signals can be received properly. 25
