GPS-RECEIVER JP7-T

1 Security

This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of
the GPS receiver. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the
GPS receiver.

1.1 General information

The Global Positioning System uses satellite navigation, an entirely new
concept in navigation. GPS has become established in many areas, for
example, in civil aviation or deep-sea shipping. It is making deep inroads in
vehicle manufacturing and before long everyone of us will use it this way or
another.
The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States of
America, which also has sole responsibility for the accuracy and
maintenance of the system. The system is constantly being improved and
may entail modifications effecting the accuracy and performance of the GPS
equipment.

1.2 Restricted use

Certain restrictions on the use of the GPS receiver may have to be observed
on board a plane, in hospitals, public places or government institutions,
laboratories etc. Follow these instructions.

1.3 Children

Do not allow children to play with the GPS receiver. It is not a toy and
children could hurt themselves or others. The GPS receiver consists of many
small parts which can come loose and could be swallowed by small
children. Thoughtless handling can damage the GPS receiver.

1.4 Operation/antenna

Operate the GPS receiver with an antenna connected to it and with no
obstruction between the receiver and the satellite.
Make absolutely sure that the antenna socket or antenna cable is not shorted
as this would render the GPS receiver disfunctional.
Do not use the receiver with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged
antenna without delay. Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Use only
the supplied or an approved antenna with your GPS receiver. Antennas from
other manufacturers which are not authorized by the supplier can damage
the GPS receiver.
Technical modifications and additions may contravene local radio-
frequency emission regulations or invalidate the type approval.
Authorized GPS antennas:
