General tips for GPS application

The following content is tips for GPS device application and operation. Please
read it before starting use of the GPS device, so that you may make a better use
of the GPS device.

• While the GPS device is working, it receives sig al from satellites for

positioning. The signal from satellite may not be received, or be weakened in

room, nearby some big buildings, or under overhead bridges.

• When the GPS device is receiving satellite signals, you will get sig als from

different satellites when you are in different places, this is called "Satellite

Path", a "Satellite Path" only covers a range of 30 0 KM. If a "Satellite Path" is

defined at place A, then turn off the device and move to another place beyond

300 KM away from A, the device is under another "Satellite Path", At this

moment, the device needs to search for satellite signal again. To track the new

"Satellite Path", this will take quite a long time. To sa ve time for th is searching,

you may click "GPS Reset" button in menu of "GPS Testing" to clear the

previous "Satellite Path".

• It will be difficult and taking more time to catch positioning sig al from satellite

during high speed driving. It is suggested to search the positioning signal by

stoping your car for a better and safer effect.

• While charging the device, please only use the travel charger or car charger

equipped by the manufacturer in its original package. Other chargers may

cause damage to this device, and this damage is not covered by our warranty.
