  • Page 16: Installing The Batteries

    Installing the Batteries The GPS Tracker uses four AA alkaline batteries that are installed from the bottom of the receiver. Use the rings to unscrew the water seal battery caps. Insert the batteries into the battery tubes, with the positive end first, two batteries in each side, and screw the battery caps until securely closed.

  • Page 84: What Is Gps

    How Does GPS Work? Each GPS satellite transmits its precise location (position and elevation) and the start time of the transmission. A GPS receiver acquires the signal, then measures the interval between transmission and receipt of the signal to determine the distance between the receiver and the satellite, a process called ranging.

  • Page 85: Accuracy

    The DoD civil GPS under policy is that GPS accuracy, as affected by SA, is sufficient for general navigation. In an open environment, it usually is. Even with SA, a GPS receiver will bring you within visual range of a destination or target, and GPS remains the best available source for accurate, repeatable navigation and positioning information.
