under "Wireless." If you select "WiFi," then "WiFi" shows up in the menu list on the AreaRAE
Plus/Pro's screen under "Wireless." The choice that is not selected to be active does not appear

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
