When using the GPS501 in a motor vehicle it is the user's
responsibility to ensure operating the GPS501 does not detract from
the safe operation of the vehicle.
For safety reasons it is not recommended that a driver change any
settings while in motion. Please come to a complete stop or have a
passenger make changes if necessary.
The Global Positioning System is operated and maintained by the
US Government. The US Government is completely responsible for
the accuracy of the Global Positioning System.
The US Government reserves the right to make changes to the
Global Positioning System in accordance with the Department of
Defence civil GPS user policy and the Federal Radio navigation plan.
These changes along with poor satellite geometry could cause
inaccurate readings.
Do not leave the GPS501 in the car on hot sunny days. Alkaline
batteries can be damaged at high heat.
The GPS501 is not designed to be waterproof.
GPS signal reception can be affected by the location of satellites, tall
buildings, tunnels, bridges, etc. If the GPS501 is not receiving a
signal, you will need to change your location until a signal is
received.
