h. Helpful tips

● It’s better to turn off 860E when you don’t use it, otherwise it might still keep recording data.

● Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect GPS signal receptions.

● Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal receptions.

● Driving in tunnels or indoor park garage may affect signal receptions.

● In general, 860E performs best in open space where it can see clear sky. Also weather will affect GPS reception –

rain & snow contribute to worse sensitivity.

● For the 1st time you use the 860E, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the satellite constellation information and
fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”.

● If your 860E can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change to another spot with open
space and then try again.

[Note] When you use AGPS function, we suggest using GpsView to download the AGPS data via USB cable.

AGPS data will expire after 6 days.

i-2. GpsView software

Open GpsView software and select correct COM port and Baud Rate and then click “On” button to establish the

communication between 860E and PC. If the connection is successful, the NMEA stream will keep showing.
