CAUTION

Global Position System (GPS) was developed and is managed by the United States
Department of Defense (DOD) which is responsible for its normal operation and position
precision control; the U.S. is entitled to affect function or position precision of the whole

or safety of national defense.

In order to use the SWAMI 4000+ correctly and safely, you must be aware of the following
information prior to operating the device:

• The SWAMI 4000+ was only designed for the purpose of leisure and recreation
and is not applicable for industrial or special measurement.

Caution

About GPS

Global Position System (GPS) is a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of
Defense. GPS consists of 32 satellites that circle the earth and are 11,000 miles away from
the ground. These satellites make two circles of the earth per day and emit signals of ex­tremely low power which will be received and recorded by 5 ground stations. These ground

stations will use precise time signals to conrm accurate positions of each

satellite. Your GPS receiver can receive signals sent out by these satellites. An accurate

latitude and longitude location can be determined when xed upon at least 4 satellites.

WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) can enhance the precision of GPS. It was
designed by the Federal Aviation Administration and is mainly used to enhance precision

of GPS on an airplane. WAAS has extra ground stations in select positions which can work

together with a master console to improve accuracy of satellite signals and reduce errors to
about 3 yards.

Using Conditions

As Swami 4000+ uses GPS, it is available only in the places that can receive satellite

signals, excluding places indoor or in water.
