For your safety

Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user’s guide.

ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST

Remember that the safety of operating a motor vehicle in traffic requires the full attention of all motorists. Only use your Nokia Wireless GPS Module (LD-1W) if traffic conditions permit safe use and check if local laws/regulations restrict the use of mobile devices while driving.

When using the GPS module in a mobile environment place it so that it does not disrupt the normal operation of the vehicle. Make sure you fasten the GPS module properly to prevent accidental movement of it.

INTERFERENCE

All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference, which could affect performance.

Introduction

1. Introduction

With the help of the Nokia Wireless GPS Module you can determine your current position and direction easily. The GPS module is a battery operated device that uses Bluetooth technology to communicate positioning information to compatible mobile phones, PCs, PDAs and other devices.

Read this user’s guide carefully before using the GPS module. Check also http://www.nokia.com/support or your local Nokia Web site for the latest version of this guide, additional information, downloads, and services related to your Nokia product.

■Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio navigation system that includes 24 satellites and their

Introduction

ground stations that monitor the operation of the satellites.

A GPS terminal (such as the Nokia Wireless GPS Module) receives low-power radio signals from the satellites and measures the travel time of the signal. From the travel time, the GPS terminal can calculate its location to the accuracy of +/- 25 metres. In optimal conditions, the accuracy may be within a few metres.

The accuracy can be affected by poor satellite geometry. The more satellites the GPS module can "see", the better the accuracy. The internal antenna of the GPS module, which is located on the same side as the Nokia logo, should be facing upwards for proper functioning. Note also that some car windshields and windows may contain metal, for example, for heat reflection or defogging purposes. This may block or attenuate the satellite signal.

The availability and quality of GPS signals may also be affected by buildings and natural obstacles as well as weather conditions. Therefore, the GPS should not be

used for precise location measurement, and you should never rely solely on location data from the GPS module.

In addition, the GPS determines your direction on the basis of your movement. Therefore, the GPS cannot detect which way you are facing if you are not moving.

Note: The Global Positioning System is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for accuracy and maintenance of the system. The accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United States government and is subject to change with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.

Warning! This GPS module does not support emergency location service (E911).
