Tips for Using the Field PC AMXU GPS Expansion Pod
Keep the following tips in mind while using the Field PC
with the AMXU GPS Expansion Pod:
„
For best performance seek locations with the clearest
view of the sky as possible. Obstructions such as
buildings, trees, power lines, mountains, and your
body can keep signals from reaching the receiver.
„
Do not cover the antenna with anything while you are
using the system (see graphic on page 2).
„
Using the GPS Expansion Pod with GIS or GPS software
running on the Field PC may cause the Field PC battery
to drain at a faster rate. This rate depends on the
software and how much processing is taking place.
„
The PC card slot is accessible while the GPS Expansion
Pod is attached to the Field PC. Refer to the Field PC
Owner’s Manual for details on how to use it. A flat,
brown flex cable that is part of the expansion pod is
visible when you open the pod door. Do not twist,
bend, or break this cable while you are using the PC
card slot.
