• Abrasion and chemical resistance

• Glare reduction

• Keeping the device’s screen looking like new

GPS Information

When using the GPS feature of the MC5574:

• Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside

and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.

• Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the

MC5574 being unable to compute the initial position quickly.

• Obtain a satellite fix before moving.

• Shutdown GPS application when not in use.
