Operation Notice of GPS GPS signal reception can be affected by the location of satellites, tall buildings, tunnels, bridges, etc. If the GPS9000NZ is not receiving a signal, you will need to change your location until a signal is received.
The radar beam is cone shaped – the narrower the beam, the greater the resolution. A moving vehicle reflects radar signals back towards the radar gun. The GPS9000NZ can detect the sig- nals emitted by radar guns, and it will sound an audio alarm and flash a warning indicator.
Note: To be safe, do not ignore any warnings. Although there are other types of radar signals that may cause interference, when the GPS9000NZ detects a signal, be on the alert. It is important to exercise caution at all times.
