WARNINGS

A measure of knowledge by the user is required for proper and safe use of the

Magellan GPS ProMARK X™ and GPS ProMARK X-CM™. READ THE

USER GUIDE AND WARRANTY COMPLETELY.

Assess the Accuracy Required

The ProMARK X is generally capable of better than 12 meters (RMS) horizon-

tal accuracy in autonomous operation and better than 3 meters (RMS) horizon-

tal in differential operation — with a little averaging. While this makes it a

remarkable tool for some third-order surveys and for marking and relocating

geographical sites, the product is not intended as a replacement for the

intstrumentation needed for first-order surveys.

Use Good Judgement

This product is an excellent navigation aid, but it does not replace the need for

careful orienteering and good judgement. Never rely solely on one device for

navigating.

Use Care to Avoid Inaccuracies

The Global Position System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which

is solely responsible for the accuracy and the maintenance of GPS. Certain

conditions can make the system less accurate.

Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. WHEN THE ACCU-

RACY WARNING APPEARS ON THE SCREEN, USE THIS DATA WITH

EXTREME CAUTION.

THE GLOBAL POSITION SYSTEM IS A DoD SYSTEM. The government can

make changes to the system that could affect the performance of GPS receiv-

ers.

WARNING

The accuracy of position fixes can be affected by the periodic adjust-

ments to GPS satellites by the U.S. Government and is subject to

changes in accordance with the Department of Defense Civil GPS user

policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.

Use Differential Judiciously

While differential and carrier phase can completely remove the effects of

government degradation of the GPS signal (selective availability), this process

assumes identically matched data sets. Prior to using differential or carrier

phase, the user must have a thorough understanding of datums and the theory

behind the differential process.

Welcome to the world of accurate positioning through the Global Position-

ing System (GPS). This manual was created to serve as a reference guide for

the ProMARK X-CM and the ProMARK X GPS receivers, manufactured by

Magellan Systems Corporation.

The ProMARK X-CM receiver is a 10-channel, SPS receiver that can collect

carrier phase data. The ProMARK X receiver does not have carrier phase

capability. Both models were designed for professional applications. Through-

out the guide, references to the "ProMARK X" will be understood to mean

both models; where information is specific to the ProMARK X-CM, the

receiver is referred to as the "ProMARK X-CM."

This guide assumes that the user has a background specific to the application

for which the receiver is being used. The guide therefore does not describe

applications except where they directly affect the operation of the receiver.

The guide was designed to follow the logical order of the receiver's functions

wherever possible.

Feel free to skip the functions that do not pertain to your applications. Users,

for example, who do not use differential need not read Chapters 6 and 7. All

users, however, should read Chapters 1 through 4, which cover the basic

operation of the receiver and the setup and auxiliary functions. The user who

has no navigation experience may benefit from reading Chapter 5. Those

with no previous experience with global positioning may also want to read

the general information about GPS found in Appendices 6, 7, and 8.

The ProMARK X User Guide should be used in conjunction with the post-

processing software guide and, where applicable, the submeter guide.
