INTRODUCTION 

1.1 CAUTIONS   

CAUTION 

The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its 
accuracy and maintenance. Although the GPS 10x is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), 
any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use these products at your 
own risk. To reduce the risk, carefully review and understand all aspects of these Technical Specifications 
before using the GPS 10x. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS to all available 
navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, 
always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. 

FCC 

Compliance 

The GPS 10x complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME 
OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 
in a residential installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements. 

Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful 
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may 
cause undesired operation. 

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there 
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off 
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 

 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

 

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 

 

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 
connected. 

 

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

The GPS 10x does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could 
result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operate this 
device under Part 15 regulations. 

Battery Warnings

 

If these guidelines are not followed, the lithium-ion battery may experience a shortened life span or may 
present a risk of damage to the GPS unit, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and or injury. Contact your 
local waste department to properly dispose of the unit/battery. 

 

Do not leave the unit exposed to a heat source or in a high temperature location, such as in the sun 
in an unattended vehicle on a hot day. To prevent damage, remove the unit from the vehicle or 
store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box. 

 

Do not incinerate. 

 

When storing the unit for a limited length of time, store within the following temperature range: -
4˚ to 140˚F (-20˚ to 60˚C). When storing the unit for an extended time, store within the following 
temperature range: 32˚ to 77˚F (0˚ to 25˚C). 

 

Do not operate the unit outside of the following temperature range:  
14˚ to 140˚F (-10˚ to 60˚C). 

 

Keep the used battery away from children. Do not disassemble, puncture, or damage the battery.
