PNGD Advisory notes 

 

1.

 

Please note PNGD may require up to 20 minutes to locate GPS when used first time. This is due to 
cold booting, if the PNGD is not used for a week or longer, subsequent use within this period will be in 
hot booting thus will acquire GPS signal within couple of minutes.   
 

2.

 

For optimum GPS signal acquisition, where possible install the PNGD at the centre of windscreen, rear 
view mirror can be used as guide.(GPS signal acquisition could be adversely affected    by sensors in 
close vicinity, please find suitable alternative location).
