Chapter 5: Fault Finding & Maintenance

5.1 Fault Finding

If your GPS11 fails to operate  check the battery condition and ensure
that the contacts are clean. If an external power source is being used
check the voltage and ensure that the Power/Data plug is clean and
secure.

If the unit powers up but fails to obtain a fix ensure that the unit has a
clear view of the sky. Reception will be affected by buildings, trees
and other objects that restrict the signal from the satellites, it is wise to
check with another GPS operator locally to ensure that the satellite
system is fully operational

In the unlikely event that a fault develops within the unit there are no
user serviceable parts and the complete GPS11 should be returned to
a registered Apelco Service Agent for attention.
