GPS
GPS receivers operate by line of sight with global positioning satellites. A receiver must be able
to get signals from at least four satellites in order to calculate longitude and latitude (there are
currently 30 GPS satellites orbiting the earth). The more satellites a GPS receiver can "see," the
more accurate and reliable the positioning.
For a GPS-equipped AreaRAE Plus/Pro to work properly, it must have a direct line of sight to a
satellite, meaning it will not work well (if at all) indoors. Although radio signals from navigation
satellites can pass through clouds, glass, plastic and other lightweight materials, satellite
navigation receivers do not work underground or in other enclosed spaces.
If you need to operate a monitor under a roof or anything else that obstructs a clear view of the
sky, you may need to take the AreaRAE Plus/Pro outdoors into a nearby clear area, manually set
GPS coordinates in ProRAE Guardian, and allow those coordinates to be used on maps in
ProRAE Guardian running on a host computer.
You can turn the GPS power on or off.
1. Press [Y/+] to see on and off states, and which is selected.
2. Press [N/-] to scroll to "On" or "Off."
3. Press [Y/+] to select.
4. Press [Y/+] to "Save." You can also press [N/-] to undo.
