Installation
- Before installing a suction cup of a moun t, please clean and
inside of windshield and remove any dust or grease.
- Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an air
bag deployment area. If not, may cause serious injury when
air bags inflate rapidly.
- Do not place unsecured on a dashboard.
- Do not mount where a driver's field of vision is blocked.
- Device is designed and approved for vehicle windshield
installation, hand-held only and body-worn use with the
supplied belt-clip and headset to meet FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements, other operating conf iguration are
not approved.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
- If taking long time to get GPS signal and find current
location, place it where it has a clear view of the sky. GPS
signals can be obstructed by ceilings, trees, nearby tall
buildings and the roof of the vehicle.
- Initial GPS f ix may take up to 2~10 minutes depending on
circumstances.
Important: Some vehicles with a coated or heat reflective
windshield may require on an external GPS antenna (not
included).
User Guide Manual - 4
www.looket.com
- Fix initial GPS with a full charged battery. It will take longer
than before with a low battery.
- The Looket device is supporting a SiRFInstantFixII
technology, so it is able to receive signal more quickly from
GPS satellites and indicate a current location on the map
without waiting for long time.
- If there is no saved GPS satellites information or the saved
information is not enough, the SiRFInstantFixII function
would not be working normally. Also when receiving GPS
signal at first, the location error can be happened depending
on operating circumstances. Moreover, in case of not using
the device for over 3 days, the SiRFInstantFixII function
would not be operated.
※ SiRFInstantFixII technology
It can reduce warm starts, the typical PND start-up mode,
from over half a minute to as little as five seconds, and in
urban canyons the difference can be even more significant.
It does this while demonstrating excellent positional
accuracy, an important attribute for navigation devices. It
accomplishes this using sophisticated, patent-pending
algorithms that enable the PND to model the behavior of
visible GPS satellites during the day and predict their
position in the sky for up to three days in the future. It
continuously ref ines its calculations based on the latest data
it receives from the satellites being tracked every time the
PND is used. It performs these calculations completely
autonomously, without ever needing updates of any kind
from a network.
