WARNING GPS Position and Altitude
GPS position and altitude are for timing purposes only. They are not intended
for navigation or other critical applications.

Mounting Safety Considerations
WARNING: GPS Antenna
l Avoid electrocution and RF safety hazards such as power lines and high energy
radio transmission antennas.
l Where potential hazards exist, have a qualified technician perform the installation.
l Observe local codes and regulations.
l Use a lightning arrestor when needed.
l Antennas not rated for 12 VDC may be damaged when connected to the XL-GPS.
The GPS antenna supplied with the XL-GPS is rated for 12 VDC.
Safe Antenna and Cable Connection: An outside antenna or cable system must be properly
grounded to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (In Canada, part 1 of the Canadian
Electrical Code) provides information regarding proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of ground-
ing conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
