Helpful tips Your iBT-GPS should be treated with care and properly maintained to ensure the best performance. Keep in mind these helpful tips when using your receiver: - Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields, which may affect signal receptions - Driving in and around high buildings may affect signal receptions. - Driving under tunnels or in buildings may affect signal receptions. - Low battery of a PDA or of an iBT-GPS may affect signal receptions. - Please check the correct “COM” and “Baudrate” of your PDA. - In general, any GPS receiver performs best in open space where it can see clean sky. Also weather will affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute to worse sensitivity. - iBT-GPS output data updates every second, thus the actual position and the position in your map may have time delay. This may happen when you drive at higher speed or make a turn around a corner. - Note that iBT-GPS may not work indoors where it can not see the sky. - For the 1st time you use the iBT-GPS, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to get the satellite constellation and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”. If you replace the battery, iBT-GPS will do Cold Start again. - If your iBT-GPS can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change to another open space and then try again. 20 Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's website.
