ABOUT GPS NAVIGATION

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio-navigation system. This

system consists of 24 satellites, which orbit the Earth at an altitude of approximately

17,500 kilometers. Each of the 24 satellites is deployed in 6 orbital planes and circles the

earth twice a day. These systems of satellites continuously transmit signals containing

precise information, 24 hours a day in any weather condition, everywhere around the

world. By processing the signals received, the RW 430 GPS Navigator provides users

with helpful information of position, velocity, and time for navigation and location based

services anytime.

The time it takes the GPS to find the satellites is called the Time to First Fix (TTFF). The

GPS receiver needs to lock on to at least 3 satellites for a position fix. The RW 430 GPS

Navigator acquires a position fix typically within 10 seconds from a hot-start state and

roughly 80 seconds from a cold-start state. The initial state of the receiver, (i.e. the latest

status in the memory of the receiver) primarily determines the time of TTFF. If you have

not used your GPS unit for several months, the almanac data for the satellites may be

out of date. The unit is capable of recollecting this information on its own, but the process

can take as long as 3 to 5 minutes. The TTFF will also be longer the very first time the

user first turns on the GPS receiver, when a GPS receiver has lost memory, or has been

moved over 300 miles (500 km) from its last location will also be longer.

Both TTFF and positional accuracy can be affected by obstructions such as tall buildings,

narrow streets & passageways, protective film on glass, heavy foliage, large cliffs, and

other situations where GPS satellite signals are blocked. Once there is a position fix, the

RW 430 uses the satellite signals to calculate an exact geodetic location through

triangulation method, contained in 10 meters CEP accuracy devoid of Selective

Availability (SA). The position data is then converted within the receiver to latitude and

longitude coordinates, which is usually provided in the geodetic datum on which GPS is

based (WGS 84). The map datum selected on a GPS receiver needs to match the datum

listed on the corresponding paper map in order for the position readings to match. Using

the wrong datum can result in position offsets of hundreds of meters or much more. In

addition to using the wrong datum, accuracy can be limited by satellite orbiting errors,

multi-path signals, atmospheric delay and receiver clock timing.

Caution! The United States government operates the Global Positioning System (GPS)

and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Changes by the

United States government may affect the accuracy and performance of all

GPS equipment, including your personal navigation device.

Caution! Ordinances or laws may restrict use of certain abilities of your navigation

device on public or private land.

RW 430 MOUNTING SYSTEM

Included in your package, you will find a mounting solution to easily secure your

RightWay Navigator to either the windshield or the dash.

Caution! It is illegal in California and Minnesota to attach anything to the windshield.

Caution! When using navigation aids in a vehicle, it is your sole responsibility to place,

injury, property damage, or in any manner to obstruct your view. You, the user

of this product, are solely responsible for observing safe driving practices.

1. Select a suitable location on the windshield or dashboard for

the mount. Clean and dry this area to remove any grease and dirt.

2. If mounting the GPS on the dashboard, remove the protective

backing from the dash disc, exposing the adhesive. Adhere

the disc to the dashboard in the desired location.

Note: The adhesive is permanent.

3. With the locking lever in the up position, hold the suction cup to the windshield or on the

dash disc with the locking lever and pull tab on top.

4. Push the locking lever towards the base of the mount. The mount should suction to the

surface.

5. Align the tabs on the holder with the slots on the Navigator cradle. Slide together until

you feel a firm click.

6. Adjust the holder to the best viewing angle by loosening the adjustor dials, moving the

corresponding part to the desired position, and then tightening the adjustor dial.

7. To remove the mount, pull the locking

lever away from the base, and then

gently pull on the pull tab. This should

break the suction so you can remove

the mount.
