5 Installing the GPS Bluetooth Receiver
The GPS Bluetooth Receiver has several mounting
options:
•
Suction cup, for example to attach the unit to
the inside of a vehicle windscreen.
•
Magnetic mount, to attach the unit to a metal
surface, for example the roof of a vehicle
(GPS 4500 only)
•
Double sided tape, for permanent mounting.
•
Armband, to attach the receiver to the user’s
arm.
•
Lanyard, for holding the receiver.
Locating the GPS Bluetooth Receiver
Find a suitable location for the receiver:
•
With as good a view of the sky and horizon as
possible. The receiver can be under glass,
perspex, fibreglass or fabric, but not under
metal or wood.
•
Where it will not obstruct your view; and will
not interfere with the operation of the vehicle or
the vehicle safety equipment.
•
Accessible to change the batteries and operate
the On/Off switch.
•
Away from any source of electrical interference
or noise.
•
Away from excessive vibration or shock.
•
Within 10 m (33 ft) of the Bluetooth device that
the unit will connect to.
•
A GPS 4400 is not waterproof and must be
mounted where it will not get wet and where
there will be no condensation.
If the GPS 4400 is mounted in the vehicle, the inside,
top of the windscreen is usually a good location.
The GPS 4500 is waterproof. If the GPS 4500 is
mounted on the vehicle, outside on the roof is usually
a good location because the receiver has a good
view of the sky. A GPS 4500 mounted on the roof will
usually have better performance than a GPS 4400
mounted in the vehicle, because the metal roof will
shield the receiver inside from the GPS signals.
TIP
: If you are not sure if a location is suitable, mount
the receiver temporarily and check that the receiver
operates properly. Then mount the receiver
permanently.
