When opening the application, you will be asked to turn on GPS if it is off. The icon in the status bar indicates GPS service is in use.

The application has three pages as described later. Touch one of the three buttons (Satellite Position, Electronic Compass, and Location Information) at the left side of the screen to see the page.

Satellite Position

Satellite PositionSatellite Position

The Satellite Position page shows the positions of the overhead satellites and their signal strength. It also indicates the on/off status of the SBAS and logging functions.

ECompass

Function as a compass.

Receive GPS satellite signals to calculate the location of your device.

Record GPS logs.

SBAS (satellite-based augmentation system) provides additional accuracy and reliability for the GPS devices. Ground stations are necessary to achieve the purpose. The SBAS feature works where such stations exist. You can enable the SBAS feature. (See “

Getac Settings” in Chapter 7.)

EEEElectronic

lectronic Compass

The Electronic Compass page shows directions of movement including orientation, pitch angle, roll angle, and azimuth angle.

The Accuracy reading is for your reference. When the application determines that calibration is needed, it will pop up the “Calibration” graphics asking you to calibrate the compass. Hold the device and swing it in the way as shown on the screen. Do this several times until the popup graphics disappear.

NOTE: Follow these guidelines when using the compass.



Keep the device away from objects that generate magnetic fields, such as cars, large belt buckles, computers, cell phones, etc.



If you must use the compass inside a car, the device should be at least 20 cm (7.87 inches) away from metal objects such as car doors, dashboard, air vents, etc.



Avoid playing music with the internal speaker or connecting the AC adapter. This will cause the magnetic interference to the compass.

Radiation Exposure Statement:

The product comply with the Canada portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.

Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations: Le produit est conforme aux limites d'exposition pour les appareils portables RF pour les Etats-Unis et le Canada établies pour un environnement non contrôlé.

Le produit est sûr pour un fonctionnement tel que décrit dans ce manuel. La réduction aux expositions RF peut être augmentée si l'appareil peut être conservé aussi loin que possible du corps de l'utilisateur ou que le dispositif est réglé sur la puissance de sortie la plus faible si une telle fonction est disponible.

FOR WLAN 5GHZ DEVICE:

Caution :

1) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;

2) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and

3) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.

4) the worst-case tilt angle(s) necessary to remain compliant with the e.i.r.p. elevation mask requirement set forth in Section 6.2.2(3) shall be clearly indicated.

Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Avertissement:

1) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux;

2) le gain maximal d’antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e.;

3) le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-5825 MHz) doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e. spécifiée pour l’exploitation point à point et non point à point, selon le cas.

4) les pires angles d’inclinaison nécessaires pour rester conforme à l’exigence de la p.i.r.e. applicable au masque d’élévation, et énoncée à la section 6.2.2 3), doivent être clairement indiqués.

De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
