BRIEF OVERVIEW OF
NAVIGATOR USE
FIRST STEPS
Positioning the GPS antenna
You should lift the GPS antenna so that it faces
open sky whenever you want to use any of Benefon
Esc!’s position dependent features.
The antenna needs an unobstructed view of the
sky. The signals sent by the GPS satellites do not
penetrate solid objects such as people, buildings,
rocks, or heavy tree cover.
Note that the GPS receiver can be active even when
the antenna is not lifted. In this case, finding satel-
lites may still be possible, but positioning accuracy
is likely to be worse than usual unless the rear of
the phone is facing an open sky.
The external GPS antenna accessory can be used to
receive GPS signals even when the phone's own
GPS antenna is unable to see satellites.
