Use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any
damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.
•
Do not leave your phone in a vehicle or expose the phone to
direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could
pose damage to the phone or risk to the vehicle.
•
The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent
objects. Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such
as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or
cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle's visor contains metal, it will be
difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.
•
Other nearby wireless communication products (such as mobile
phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the
satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.
•
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the
US Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the
accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the
Department makes may affect the accuracy and function of the
GPS system.
11. Downloading Satellite Positions
Before using your phone for GPS navigation, open the Download
satellites screen in your phone's location settings to download current
satellite position and timing information. Downloading this satellite
position data significantly speeds up the time for determining your
GPS location. Your phone downloads the position data from Web
servers instead of from satellites using its Wi-FI, ActiveSync or GPRS/
3G Internet connection.
