Signal Intensity screen. This screen consists of 2 circles at the top of the screen which indicate Satellite distribution. The large circle represents the horizon, the small circle represents 45 degrees elevation from the horizon, and the centre point represents zenith, or 90 degrees elevation. At the top of the large circle is the letter “N” to indicate north. Satellites are represented as squares located on the graph, corresponding to the User’s position relative to the Satellites position above the Earth. Each square has an ID number associated with the Satellite it represents. The lower part of the screen indicates Satellite Signal intensity and is represented by a figure on the left hand side showing the Satellite ID number. On the right hand side is a value from 0 to 99, representing signal intensity. Also a bar graph in between the 2 figures provides a visual comparison to signal intensity between the various Satellites. Note: 1. This mark on all screens indicates satellite signal intensity. 2. BT This mark on indicates Bluetooth function enabled. 3. After initial power on, the Satellites appear centralized at “N “. This indicates unlock

condition. Once the unit has locked in the Satellites, a text box displaying “GPS” will appear on the right hand side of the screen.

35

Frequently asked questions: Why doesn’t GPSmartBT get a location fix within 10 minutes? There may be large obstacles overhead; move to a new location with a clear view of the sky. Can GPSmartBT be used indoors? No, GPS must be able to receive the signal from the satellite and the building will block the signal. Does GPSmartBT work anywhere in the world and in any weather condition? Yes. How to adjust my local time? You can adjust local time in “TIME ZONE” selection under the “SET UP” function. GPSmartBT doesn’t turn on? Check to see if the batteries are installed correctly and that the battery terminals are clean. How can I link my GPSmartBT with PDA or PC? You can use GPSmartBT data cable to link to your PC or PDA (Please refer GPSmartBT accessories and contact dealer). Or, you can use GPSmart BT(Bluetooth embedded model) to link to your PC or PDA with Bluetooth function. GPSmartBT will operate with any NMEA compatible software. Do I need to subscribe to a service to use the GPSmartBT? No. The GPS satellites are owned by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) And have been funded by U.S. taxpayers’ dollars. Reception of GPS satellite signals is free to everyone. Does GPSmartBT have back light function? Yes. How do I know my GPSmartBT has a fix or not? Please refer to the antenna intensity indictor. Your position will be fixed unless “?” is shown on the indictor. How many channels does GPSmartBT have? It is 12 channels satellite receiver and is WAAS/EGNOS enabled.

36

What is WAAS and EGNOS capability? WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) is a U.S. based system which measures satellite location errors and transmits a correction code to compatible GPS receivers. EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) is a European equivalent to the WAAS system. My GPSmartBT is not responding? Switch the unit off and back on to reset the processor. Can I record “ROUTE”, “ADD MARK” and “ADD WAYPOINT” while the antenna intensity indictor has a “?” showing? No, because when the antenna intensity indictor shows “?” it means the data is not valid. Why doesn’t the compass update when I am not moving? The GPSmartBT requires user movement to calculate the users heading and therefore accurately display the position of True North. I have saved Marks which I cannot find? The GPSmartBT must be within a range of 10km of a saved mark before it can be displayed. I am a boat user. Can I display my speed in Knots? Yes. Knots can be displayed only in the Navigation menu by toggling through the speed units as described in the manual.
