WHAT IS GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites launched by the US military in
the 1970s. The satellites continuously transmit accurate time and position information, which
is freely used by commercial and military applications worldwide. GPS receivers such as the
iCN 630 are designed to pick up the high frequency radio signals from these satellites, and use
the information to determine your exact location. Today, there are many applications that use
GPS, from marine to automotive, aviation and military.
There are 24 satellites in total, orbiting the earth at around 12,000 miles. While a GPS receiver
can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any one time, only three are needed to provide the
two-dimensional position or x (latitude and longitude) that is required for vehicle and marine
navigation systems. Aviation applications also need altitude and therefore need information
from at least four satellites.
The iCN 630 In-Car navigation unit is designed specically to use GPS information to nd
your current position, and to calculate the best route to your desired destination using the
road maps stored in its memory. The iCN 630 will then guide you with voice and visual
commands to your destination using the continuous stream of GPS data to track your
position as you take a trip.

INSTALLING THE iCN 630 IN YOUR VEHICLE
Before installing the iCN 630 In-Car navigation unit, check whether your vehicle is tted with an
athermic (heat reecting) or a heated windshield. If so, you will need to purchase an external
or re-radiating antenna to allow your iCN 630 unit to pick up the GPS signals. For more
information, refer to Section 14 Accessories.
Your iCN 630 unit comes with mounting options that allow you to install the unit in three
different ways:
By suction straight onto the windshield.
By suction or an adhesive disc onto the dash.
By directly screwing onto the dash.
Alternative mounting options may be available specically for your make and model of vehicle.
Follow these mounting instructions carefully to ensure your unit is properly installed.
For security purposes and to avoid overheating, do not leave this unit on the dash or
