Using the External GPS Antenna
Use the external GPS antenna if the internal antenna of your S1000C does not work
(indicated by a solid red GPS LED for more than 2 hours). Connect the external GPS
antenna to your device's GPS connection port.
If you use the optional GPS antenna:
• Place the external GPS antenna horizontally on a flat surface as close to a window
as possible. The antenna works best in an open area where it can easily pick up
signals.
• Do not place the GPS antenna:
• Outdoors; it is not weatherproof
• Behind large, heavy objects such as furniture; doing so could affect the signal.
Refer to External GPS antenna setup on page 2-9 for external GPS antenna setup.
TIP
Using the external GPS antenna in buildings with open floor plans allows the
S1000C to be positioned in a central location; improving coverage throughout the
building.
