The GP-1 does not supply the compass heading.

Local geographic and atmospheric conditions may prevent or

delay the acquisition of GPS data.

The GP-1 may be unable to receive GPS data indoors, underground, or in the

vicinity of large structures, trees, or other objects that block or refl ect satellite signals.

The positions of GPS sat-

ellites are continuously changing, preventing or delaying the acquisition of GPS data at certain hours of the day.

The presence of cellular telephones or other devices that transmit on frequencies close to those of GPS satellites

may also interfere with the acquisition of GPS data.

Note that the GP-1 may take several minutes to reacquire a signal if the unit has not been used for an extended

period or has been moved a great distance since GPS data were last received.

Notes on the GP-1

En

• Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.

• Keep dry: This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in or exposed to water.

• Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a

heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the

device in a carrying case or plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

• Keep away from strong magnetic fi elds: Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates

strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fi elds. Strong static charges or the magnetic fi elds produced by

equipment such as radio transmitters could aff ect the product’s internal circuitry.

• A note on electronic devices: In extremely rare instances, a strong external static charge may cause the device to

stop functioning.

Turn the camera off and disconnect and reconnect the GP-1.

In the event of continued mal-

function, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative.
