AF Introduction T Chapter 5 Using GPS Navigation The MC75A includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the SiRF III chipset. GPS technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth.
5-2 MC75 User Guide Operation Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC75A being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable. When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC75A does not go into suspend mode.

6-2 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide The Bluetooth radio in this MC75A operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space. NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.
