4. Common Knowledge on GPS

 GPS?

GPS(Global Positioning System) is a system to provide services such as position, speed

and time measurement using satellite that was developed by U.S. Department of Defense.

In a word, GPS can be called a global size of navigation system using satellite that has

been promoted for development by U.S. Department of Defense, and there are 24

satellites available currently as a standard.

[24 satellites available]

GPS can perform accurate measurement of three dimensional position, altitude and time,

can provide service continuously for 24 hours, is strong against weather conditions,

interference and obstruction, and has a feature to use global common coordinate system.

User can know exact position only by installing GPS receiver, and should receive electric

wave simultaneously from at least 4 satellites in order to measure his/her own position via

GPS.

GPS satellite C, Distance C, Positioning point

Intersection point of 3 sections, Principle of GPS positioning

GPS is accompanied with about 5m~15m error even though SA does not activate during

single positioning(absolute positioning, 1 point positioning) where position is measured by

only one receiver, so the single positioning method is being utilized mainly for navigation

such as vehicle, ship, aircraft, etc. or in GIS field where allowable error is relatively big

rather than for measurement.



Cause of Error Occurrence in GPS

Factors dropping accuracy in position measurement of GPS can be largely classified into

3 parts.

First, errors occurring due to structure factors include satellite time error, satellite position

error, refraction in ionosphere and troposphere, noise, multi-path, etc.; secondly, there is

geometrical error due to arrangement situation of satellite; and lastly, there is SA (Selective

Availability) that is the biggest error factor.

Potential combination of all these factors brings about very big error result, which is called

UERE(User Equivalent Range Error). Each error vary greatly depending on time and place.



Satellite time error 0-1.5 m



Satellite position error 1- 5 m



Refraction in ionosphere 0-30 m



Refraction in troposphere 0-30 m



Receiver noise 0-10 m



Multi-path 0-1 m



SA(Selective Availability) 0-70 m

In C/A code, horizontal error combined with all errors is 28m when SA does not activate

and 100m when SA activates.

SA code means enlargement of error range so that United States may limit use by non-

allowed GPS satellite users during military operation.

Basically, GPS is not much affected by weather. It cannot be said that there is no effect at

all, but there is no absolute effect. Depending on situation, as sunspot activity of sun

becomes active, if magnetic field change around earth becomes severe, GPS reception

cannot be well performed.



Cautions during Use of GPS

1 Do not dissemble, repair, or remodel it randomly.

2 Pay attention not to pour water or liquid.

3 Avoid use in environments with shock, high temperature, high humidity, etc.

4 Use it by avoiding the following conditions.

34



Road blinded from sky by broadleaf roadside tree, forest with many trees,

mountainous area, etc.



Just beside building, near many buildings area, beneath bridge, beneath

elevated road.



Building interior, tunnel interior, aircraft interior, ship interior, etc.



Beneath other objects blinding GPS antenna parts, etc.



If GPS antenna part is wrapped by the palm of hand, GPS information is not

received.



Do not put gold, metallic objects, or electric wave emitting objects around

GPS. Do not leave GPS for long time where there is severely high

temperature or low temperature.

5 A/S Guide

 Self Check List before Inquiring A/S

The following checklist will be helpful in solving problems encountered while using your

navigation system. Before reviewing the following checklist, check the equipment connection

and operation procedure.

Screen does not

appear well.

 Verify if power is applied to main body.

Navigation is not

performed.

 Verify if SD card containing navigation program was inserted.

GPS does not
operate well.

 Verify if there is equipment causing trouble to reception of GPS

around it.



Verify if the vehicle in underground parking lot or inside tunnel.

If system abnormality occurs regardless of above verification, please contact our dealers

or customer services.



Cautions during Use

1 Only use the power adaptor provided with this navigation system.

If other adaptors are used, there is a risk of system malfunction and fire.

2 Be careful that no foreign materials may enter your Actis 7, as this may seriously

damage the internal parts.

3 Do not give severe shock to adaptor or dissemble it, as it may cause damage,

explosion, or fire.

4 Do not use in a humid environment, nor submerge directly into water.

5 Do not disassemble, repair or remodel in a reckless manner.

6 Do not put this near magnets, large speaker, etc., as the Memory Contents may be

erased or LCD screen may be damaged.

7 Back up important data at all time.

Data may be damaged or deleted due to unscheduled reset.

8 Please store your stylus pen keep out of reach of children, as this may cause

serious injury.
