Notes before use
1. After inserting the GD‐1201 dongle into the system device, please notice the LED of
the Dongle flashing. If the LED is not flashing, it is most likely that there might be
something wrong with the USB driver. Please confirm installation or re‐install USB
driver.
2. When operating the GD‐1201 dongle inside an automobile, if your automobile
windshield or car window is fitted with metallic sun shielding or screen, the metallic
nature of the windshield insulation might adversely affect the sensitivity and fixing
time of the GD‐1201 dongle.

become weakened and GD‐1201 may fail to get position fixed from environmental
interference on the following conditions: indoor, in an urban canyon with tall
buildings, inside of tunnel, underneath bridge, or in an area with heavy foliage.
Low GPS reception under these conditions is normal and should not be considered
