To locate a position, the Datalogic Jet™ GPS must be outdoors to obtain the best
possible reception. First-time initialisation of GPS can take several minutes
depending on the environment and quality of the reception of GPS satellite signals. If
it takes longer than 5 minutes to locate a position, the user has to make sure to be in
an open place without tall buildings or trees all around.
In the future, the time required for GPS acquisition will vary depending on when the
device was last used:
− if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS is switched on after it has been switched off for
several minutes, satellite positioning is almost instantaneous (“hot start”);
− if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS device has been switched off for more than 4 hours,
the GPS could take up to five minutes (“warm start”);
− if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS is only used occasionally, and has been switched off
for more than 24 hours, GPS initialisation could take from between 10 to 15
minutes (“cold start”).
The time required for GPS acquisition also varies according to the surroundings:
− if the vehicle is equipped with an athermic windscreen, GPS reception may be
slower;
− if there are high buildings, narrow streets or many trees, reception will be slower.
Move to an area clear of obstructions to improve reception;
− in bad weather GPS reception may be slower;
− if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS is in a building, parking lot, or a tunnel, the user will
not receive any GPS signals.
NOTE
In order to avoid wasting energy, the GPS module is off by default. If
you need to have GPS working, the module must be powered on using
the External GPS applet (see par. 3.8.5).
NOTE
Suspending the terminal powers off the GPS and drops the
connection. When the terminal resumes, if the check box “Enable GPS
at reboot” was checked, the GPS connection it is automatically
restored, otherwise, it must be manually re-initialized (see par. 3.8.5).
