2.3 Helpful Tips
-
It’s better to turn off the 860 PRO when you don’t use it, or the serial Flash's
life can’t last long.
-
Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields
may affect GPS signal receptions
-
Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal receptions.
-
Driving in tunnels or indoor park may affect signal receptions.
-
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.
-
Low battery of a PDA or of an 860 PRO may affect signal receptions.
-
Please check the correct “COM” and “Baudrate” of your PDA.
-
860 PRO output data updates every second, therefore the actual position and
the position shown in your map may have slight time delay. This may
happen when you drive at higher speed or make a turn around a corner.
-
Note that 860 PRO may not work indoors where it can not see the sky.
-
For the 1st time you use the 860 PRO, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the
satellite constellation information and fix your position, this is called “Cold
Start”. If you replace the battery, 860 PRO will do Cold Start again.
-
If your 860 PRO can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we
suggest you change to another spot with open space and then try again.
