-
You must mount the device in a location with adequate ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme temperatures.
For optimal internal GPS reception:
-
You should mount the device in a location where it is above the water line when the ship is in the water.
-
You should mount the device as far as possible, at least 20 cm (7.9 in.), from cables, electronics, metal objects, and other potential sources of GPS interference.
-
If you mount the device in a boat with a metal hull, you must connect the device to an external GPS antenna (sold separately).
-
If possible, you should mount the device horizontally, with the face of the device pointing upward or vertically with the LEDs facing upward. The GPS is most sensitive in these positions.
