IMPORTANT NOTES

D When using the GPS receiver
• GPS signals cannot pass through metal objects. When
using the transceiver inside a vehicle, you may not receive
GPS signals. We recommend you use it near a window.
Please avoid the areas where:
1. The driver's view will be blocked.
2. The air bags could deploy.
3. The unit becomes a driving obstacle.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated
by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Department is
responsible for accuracy and maintenance of the system.
Any changes by the Department may affect the accuracy
and function of the GPS system.
• When the GPS receiver is activated, please do not cover
the remote controller with anything that will block the
satellite signals.
• The GPS receiver may not work if used in the following
locations:
1. Tunnels or high-rise buildings
2. Underground parking lots
3. Under a bridge or viaduct
4. In remote forested areas
5. Under bad weather conditions (rainy or cloudy day)

BASIC MANUAL
D About GPS antenna
This transceiver's GPS antenna is located at the top back
of the controller. If the controller's rear panel is covered with
any object that interrupts the GPS signals from the satellites,
the GPS receiver will not calculate its position. Therefore,
when you are using the GPS feature, be sure the controller
is positioned so the antenna has a clear view to receive
signals from the satellites.
