2. ASSEMBLY
2.1 Prepare the GPS Module
First, apply the self adhesive foam pad to the back of the antenna,
then stick onto the plain PCB side of the GPS, oriented so that the
antenna cable can pass through the hole intended for it.
Now clip the antenna connector into the small matching connector
on the component side of the GPS module. It helps to press with a
hard surface, such as a small block of metal.
2.2 Jack Socket
Solder the jack socket to the adapter PCB.

PCB below the GPS PCB. Then fill the four holes with solder.
2.4 Apply the Heat Shrink
Slide over the heat shrink tubing and shrink over the assembly
with a hot air gun.

3. CONFIGURING AND USING THE GPS5 TIME RECEIVER
3.1 Refer to the manual for your clock to find the appropriate
configuration settings to enable GPS reception, and set baud rate
to 9,600 bps
3.2 Place the module as close to a window as possible, for the best
view of the sky. The closer to the window, the faster the module
will find satellites and synchronise your clock.
Please allow at least 24 hours before contacting us, if the clock
does not synchronise.
