REB-3300 Operational Manual RoyalTek GPS Receiver User’s Tip 1. GPS signal will be affected by weather and environment conditions, thus suggest to use the GPS receiver under less shielding environments to ensure GPS receiver has better receiving performance. 2. When GPS receiver is moving, it will prolong the time to fix the position, so suggest to wait for the satellite signals to be locked at a fixed point when first power-on the GPS receiver to ensure to lock the GPS signal at th
