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
system without prior notication or announcement based on its political considerations
or safety of national defense.
In order to use the SWAMI GT correctly and safely, you must be aware of some specic
knowledge; please read the following attentions in the manual prior to operating the device:
• SWAMI GT was only designed for the purpose of leisure and recreation and it isn’t applicable for industrial or special measurement.
• SWAMI GT is only an auxiliary device, so we will not accept any legal liability for accidents due to mistaken operation or poor judgment by using SWAMI GT for measurement.

• Please do not place SWAMI GT in a place exposing to direct sunlight or high
temperature.

Caution
About GPS
Global Position System (GPS) is a satellite system developed by the Department of Defense of US. 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 position of each
satellite. Your GPS receiver can “pick” signals sent out by the satellites. An accurate latitude, longitude and height can be determined through calculation on positions and distances of 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 planes. WAAS is combined with extra ground station groups that are set up in precisely located places. These ground stations work together with a master console to improve accuracy of satellite signals and reduce errors to about 3 meters.
Using Conditions
As Swami GT uses GPS, it is available only in the places that can receive satellite signals, excluding places indoor or in water.
