GPS Location Service Your terminal’s GPS Location feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your terminal. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are using the terminal.
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure • Near a powerful radio or television tower • When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground • Ιn temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your terminal Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so.
• Stand still. If possible, stand still until your terminal is finished determining your location. Moving your terminal at a walking pace while your terminal is calculating your approximate location may substantially decrease GPS performance. • In a car. When using the GPS feature in a car, position your terminal so that the GPS antenna has good access to GPS signals.
• Setting Accuracy allows you to select high location accuracy or the energy optimised mode for GPS location service if the MTP850 is not connected to a charging device (Digital Car Kit or charger etc.). Scroll to your selection and press Select to access the next display.
