Basic Use Guidelines

PROPER HANDLING Do not bend the mini-S3 BTGPS receiver while connected to the charger; bending will damage the connector, resulting in damage to the BTGPS and/or the chargers plug. The mini-S3 BTGPS has one power jack via the mini-USB connection. Caution and care must be exercised when handling these parts. Bending or breaking these parts will severely degrade positioning performance and/or damage the receiver. Bending or breaking these parts will void your warranty. Use only manufacturer approved accessories with the mini-S3 BTGPS. (See page 10.) There are no serviceable parts inside the miniS3 BTGPS receiver. DO NOT OPEN THE mini-S3 RECEIVER, OTHER THAN TO INSERT THE BATTERY. Only a qualified service professional may install or repair equipment. Opening the receiver will void the warranty. RECEPTION OF SATELLITE SIGNALS A longer than normal time-to-first-fix of position may result the first time you use the mini-S3 BTGPS. Operating the GPS receiver requires a clear and unobstructed view of sky with the antenna facade pointing upward to the sky. GPS receivers may receive interference near cellular base-stations and when in close proximity to mobile phone antennas. This interference may affect positioning and time-to-fix performance. SAFETY Read the Warnings section comprehensively before operation. Read the User Guide and these basic guidelines comprehensively. Breaching the regulations and rules may be dangerous or illegal. Road safety is the first priority; do not use or operate the mini-S3 BTGPS receiver while driving. The mini-S3 BTGPS is a radio emitting device. For your safety and the safety of others, discontinue operation of the mini-S3 receiver in areas with life support equipment, aircrafts, gasoline stations, near fuels or chemicals, near blasting areas, and in other areas restricting radio emitting devices. Keep the mini-S3 receiver away from high temperatures and fire. Additional detailed information is given in the Warnings section on page 20 of this User Guide.

Hit, drop, or shake the mini-S3. Rough handling can break the internal electronic circuit boards, the connector, and/or the power jack resulting in irreversible damages and unit malfunction. Store or expose to temperatures higher than 60C (140F). High temperatures, such as in a car under direct sunlight, can shorten the life of electronic devices, and melt or drape certain plastics. Store or expose to temperatures lower than 0C (32F). Extreme temperatures affect the performance the battery. In addition, when the receiver warms up to its normal operation temperature, moisture can condense inside it, which may severely damage electronic circuit boards inside. Attempt to open the mini-S3. There are no serviceable parts inside the mini-S3. Unauthorized handling will void the warranty and may damage the receiver. Paint the mini-S3. Paint can clog the connector, jack, and prevent proper normal operation of the receiver.
How the mini-S3 BTGPS Works
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 mini-S3 BTGPS receiver provides users with helpful information of position, velocity, and time for navigation and location based services anytime, anywhere on the Earth. 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 mini-S3 BTGPS Receiver 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 mini-S3 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.

Glossary

Almanac data A set of information that transmitted by each GPS satellite in orbit and the state of every satellite in the GPS constellation. Each GPS satellite contains and transmits the almanac data set for the entire GPS satellite system network. Almanac data allows the GPS receiver to rapidly acquire satellites shortly after it is turned on. Active Antenna An antenna that amplifies the GPS signal before it sends it to the receiver. Altitude The distance between the current position and the nearest point on WGS 84 reference ellipsoid, usually it is expressed in meters or feet and is positive outside the ellipsoid. Baud Bits per second. Also referred to as a baud rate. Channel Channel refers to a set of hardware in the receiver that detects locks on and continuously tracks the signal from a single GPS satellite. The more channels available, the greater number of GPS satellites signals a receiver can simultaneously lock and track. A receiver of 12 channels is the optimized design, considering the current consumption, chip-package size and cost. CEP - Circular Error Probable CEP is the radius of a circle, centered at a true location, within which fifty percent of positioning solutions fall. CEP is used to achieve horizontal accuracy. C/No Carrier-to-Noise density ratio. An indication of satellite signal strength received by the GPS receiver. Cold Start A condition in which the GPS receiver can arrive at a navigation solution without initial position, time, current Ephemeris, and almanac data. Constellation Constellation refers to the specific set of orbiting GPS satellites system, used in calculating positions or all the satellites visible to a GPS receiver at one time. The pattern created by the relative positioning of a GPS satellite network is designed to achieve a very high probability of global satellite coverage even in the event of satellite outages. dB
Decibel. A notation of relative unit such as the satellite signal strength received. Datum A math model which depicts a part of the surface of the earth. Latitude and longitude lines on a paper map are referenced to a specific map datum. 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. Elevation mask Elevation mask is an adjustable feature of GPS receivers that specifies a satellite must be a certain number of degrees above the horizon before its signals are used for positioning. Satellites at low elevation angles (five degrees or less) have lower signal strengths and are more prone to loss of lock thus causing noisy solutions. Ellipsoid A geometric surface which all of whose plane sections are either ellipses or circles. Ephemeris Ephemeris is a set of parameters used by a global navigation satellite receiver to predict the location of a satellite and its clock behavior. Each satellite contains and transmits ephemeris data about its own orbit and clock. Ephemeris data is more accurate than the almanac data but is applicable over a short time frame from four to six hours. Ephemeris data is transmitted by the satellite every 30 seconds. The predictions of current satellite position are transmitted to the user in the data message. Geodetic coordinate A coordinate system whose elements are latitude, longitude and geodetic height. The latitude is an angle based on the perpendicular to the ellipsoid. Longitude is the angle measured in the XY plane.

GIS (Geographic Information System) A computer based system that is capable of collecting, managing and analyzing geographic spatial data. This capability includes storing and utilizing maps, displaying the results of data queries and conducting spatial analysis. Hot Start Start mode of the GPS receiver when current position, clock offset, approximate GPS time and current ephemeris data are all available.
L1 frequency 1575.42 MHz GPS carrier frequency which contains only encrypted P code, used primarily to calculate signal delays caused by the ionosphere. Latitude A north/south measurement of position perpendicular to the earth's polar axis. Longitude An east/west measurement of position in relation to the Prime Meridian, an imaginary circle that passes through the north and south poles. Multipath Multipath is the reception of a signal both along a direct path and along one or more reflected paths. Multipath signals result in an incorrect pseudorange measurement. NMEA (NATIONAL MARINE ELECTRONICS ASSOCIATION) A U.S. standards committee that defines data message structure, contents, and protocols to allow the GPS receiver to communicate with other pieces of electronic equipment aboard ships. Selective Availability (SA) Selective Availability is a process whereby the U.S. Department of Defense dithers the satellite clock and/or broadcasts erroneous orbital ephemeris data to create a pseudorange error to prevent adversaries from using the extremely accurate GPS positioning data. Spread Spectrum The received GPS signal is wide bandwidth and low power. The L-band signal is modulated with a pseudo random noise code to spread the signal energy over a much wider bandwidth than the signal information bandwidth. This provides the ability to receive all satellites unambiguously and to give some resistance to noise and multipath. Time To First Fix (TTFF) The time it takes to find the satellites is called the Time to First Fix (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 several minutes. The time it takes after the user first turns on the GPS receiver, when a GPS receiver has lost memory, or has been moved over 300 miles from its last location. TRIANGULATION A method of determining the location of an unknown point, as in GPS navigation, by using the laws of plane trigonometry.
Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) UTC is the time as maintained by the U.S. Naval Observatory. Because of variations in the Earth's rotation, UTC is sometimes adjusted by an integer second. The accumulation of these adjustments compared to GPS time, which runs continuously, has resulted in an offset between GPS time and UTC. After accounting for leap seconds and using adjustments contained in the navigation message, GPS time can be related to UTC within 20 nanoseconds or better. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is still the standard time zone for the prime meridian (zero longitude). Warm Start Start mode of the GPS receiver when current position, clock offset and approximate GPA time are input by user or by the application software. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Developed by the United States government, WAAS is a Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) that calculates the errors in the GPS signal at several monitoring stations around the country, then transmits error correction messages from geostationary satellites to GPS receivers. World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) The primary map datum used by GPS. Secondary datums are computed as differences from the WGS 84 standard. WGS 84 is a set of U.S. Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) parameters for determining global geometric and physical geodetic relationships. Parameters include a geocentric reference ellipsoid; a coordinate system; and a gravity field model. GPS satellite orbital information in the navigation message is referenced to WGS 84. Almanac is retained, but ephemeris data is clear.
