Tips for Using the GPS Expansion Pod

Keep the following tips in mind while using the Allegro with the GPS
expansion pod:

1. When attempting to receive GPS signals, get the clearest view of

the sky as possible. Obstructions such as buildings, trees,
mountains, and your body can keep signals from reaching the
receiver.

2. Do not cover the antenna with anything while you are using the

system.

3. The antenna can be mounted on a vehicle or a pole, a longer cable

is required to do this. Contact our Sales Department for details.

4. Using the GPS expansion pod, and GPS or GIS software running

on the Allegro may cause the Allegro battery to drain at a faster
rate. This rate depends on the software and how much processing
is taking place.
