9.5 GPS location
The Tempus Pro has a built-in GPS receiver. You can access this feature from the Main Menu – see “5.2.1
The main menu”.
The GPS may take up to 4 minutes to display a fix. If it is unable to obtain a fix (if the view of the sky is
obstructed or if the unit is used indoors) then it will display an error. The most recent fix (with the time and
date of the fix) is always displayed.
If the signal from only a limited number of GPS positioning satellites can be received by the Tempus (e.g.
because of partial blocking of the sky by objects, buildings etc.) then the fix may be less accurate. In this
case the fix will be labelled “Approximate fix” and the reading may be +/-2.5 km.
Note
The GPS operation will be limited if the Tempus Pro is not used outside with a clear view of
the sky.
Note
The GPS is intended to provide the User and the Response Centre with the patient’s
location. It should not be used as a guidance or navigation device.
