Motorola MTH800 manual Enhancing GPS Performance

•When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground

•Ιn temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your terminal

Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so. Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher.

Furthermore, please note that even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature will only provide an approximate location, often within 20 - 100 meters from your actual location.

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your terminal may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You will then see a message indicating that your terminal cannot see enough visible satellites.

To maximize the ability of your terminal to determine a location fix please note the following guidelines:

•Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your terminal and a large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away from tall buildings and foliage. While performance in a building is improved by moving closer to windows, glass with certain sun shielding films may block satellite signals.

•Position your terminal to enhance reception. Signals from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenna, which is in your terminal antenna. Hold your terminal away from your body, giving the antenna clear access to satellite sig- nals. Do not cover the antenna area with your fingers or anything else.
