Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals. Any GPS should not be used for precise location measurement, and you should never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver for positioning or navigation. GPS receiver The procedure for using a GPS receiver with your internet tablet may vary according to the product model: Your device has an internal GPS receiver. The GPS receiver is located in the upper left corner of the device. When using the receiver, hold the device upright in your hand or in the mobile holder; or place the device on the table using the desk stand. Make also sure that your device has a clear view of the sky. The internal GPS receiver takes its power from the device battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery faster. You can also pair a compatible GPS receiver with your device using Bluetooth wireless technology. Positioning Tips on creating a GPS connection If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the following: • If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal. • If you are outdoors, move to a more open space. • Ensure that your hand does not cover the internal receiver of your device. For the location of the receiver, see “GPS receiver”, p. 41. • Signal strength may be affected by bad weather conditions. • Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in a car may take longer. • Some vehicles have tinted ( athermic) windows, which may block the satelllite signals.
