Introduction
Cautions /
FCC Compliance
The GPS system is operated by the government of the
United States which is solely responsible for their accuracy
and maintenance. The Global Positioning System and the
Differential Global Positioning System are under develop-
ment and are subject to changes which could affect accu-
racy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although
a GPS system is a precision electronic NAVigation AID
(NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted,
and therefore become unsafe. Use the GPS system at your
own risk. To reduce this risk, carefully review and under-
stand all aspects of this Quick Start Guide and carefully
compare indications from your output to all available
navigation sources including the information from other
NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” require-
ments.
