Page 2: Installation
INSTALLATION Connect the Smart PRO GPS2 Logger to the receiver telemetry port. Place the device on top of the plane, so the internal patch antenna is not shielded in any direction. Shielding materials, such as metal, carbon or anything conducting, can reduce the position detection performance. Additionally, make sure that the 2.4GHz antennas are located at least 20 cm or more from the GPS Logger. - Page 3 Timezone - Press Left+Right to switch between automatic timezone detection and manual configuration. If the “Auto” mode is used, the detected timezone is displayed when the sensor has a position fix. If the timezone is detected incorrectly, switch to “Manual” mode and type the zone using LEFT or RIGHT keys. For example, Central Europe uses GMT+1, while US Eastern Time uses GMT-5.
