2. Scope of Delivery

• Mini-USB to USB cable

• Rechargeable battery

• Operating Instructions

The Bluetooth GPS Logger receives the current position data via GPS. These data, including date and time, are stored and can be transmitted to other Bluetooth devices by Bluetooth. The capture intervals for the waypoints can be set. The journey route can then be assigned using the photo program supplied. The stored data can be exported and displayed in 3D maps, e.g. Google Maps. The supplied system components must not become damp or wet. The GPS Logger is powered by the LI-ION rechargeable battery supplied (3.7 V, 1000 mAh). This battery is charged using the mini-USB to USB cable supplied. This cable can either be connected to a spare USB port or to the supplied car charger. All safety instructions and notes on operation in these Operating Instructions must be observed at all times. These instructions not only protect the device but also and in particular your health. This product complies with the applicable national and European specifi cations.

Reception problems can occur in the following situations:

• GPS signals are blocked within tunnels.

• Covers suppress the GPS reception signal.

• GPS signals are blocked within buildings.

• In side buildings (high-rise buildings in particular), the GPS signal is lower and interference can occur.

• In forests or when passing through densely vegetated areas, the GPS signal can be lower and interference can occur. The following factors can also impair signal quality or interfere with the reception signal:

• Sun blinds inside a vehicle

• Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings

• Coated/metallised insulated glass

• Proximity to metallic & conductive objects

• Broadband interferences, e.g. in residential areas (DECT telephones, mobiles, radio-control- led headphones, radio-controlled speakers, radio-controlled weather stations, baby phones etc.)

• Proximity to electric motors, transformers, power supply units

• proximity to badly shielded or openly operated computers or other electric devices.

When switching on the product for the fi rst time or if you have transported it over more than 500 km when switched off, we recommend that you position it in the open air (within your fi eld of vision) in order to guarantee proper reception and correct position determination.
