Please refer to the Help files in the software for assistance on the features and functions. This brief introduction is provided only to demonstrate the most commonly used function; uploading detailed maps. 1. Make sure your MYSTIC is in the charging cradle, and the data cable connected to the serial port of your PC. 2. Make sure your MYSTIC has at least 50% battery charge remaining. 3. Start the application on your PC. 4. Set up your Map. Using the zoom in and zoom out tools, select the location on the map for the area that you want for a detailed map. In this example, a detailed map from the Southern California area is selected as the basic map. Mystic OM.book Page 119 Wednesday, October 22, 2003 8:59 PM
120 5. Select your Region Click on the “Draw New Region” icon on the MapSend toolbar. Use the tool to select the area on the map that you want to upload into your MYSTIC. The map will now look like this: Here is the region selected for this example. When you move the cursor inside the rectangle, the amount of memory that will be used in your MYSTIC is displayed on the PC screen. You can further modify this region. To move the region, place the cursor inside the region. Keep the left mouse button pressed and move the entire region. To change the size of the region, place the cursor on any of the black dots found in the corners or along the sides of the region, press the left mouse button move the mouse to increase or decrease the size of the defined area. 6. Cut the Region Click on the “Cut Region” icon on the MapSend toolbar. You will be prompted to provide a name for this region. Use a name that will help you identify which part of the country this region is for. Mystic OM.book Page 120 Wednesday, October 22, 2003 8:59 PM
121 In this example, the name “socal” was used. After supplying the name, this region is added to the region list found at the right of the screen. In the region list, left click on the box in front of the name of the region you want to upload. Notice that the area within the region changes color, giving you a graphical indica- tion of what region(s) you will upload. 7. Upload the Region a. Make sure that the MYSTIC is turned on. b. Click on the “Upload Regions” icon on the MapSend toolbar. You will be given the option of Upload to GPS Unit, Upload to SD Card Programmer or Store on Hard Drive. c. Select Upload to GPS Unit and press “Next”. MapSend will then poll the COM ports looking for the MYSTIC radio. When the COM port has been found, a message box will indicate the correct port. d. Press “Next”. The map region will be uploaded to your MYSTIC. Depending on the size of the map, this could take a few minutes. e. Now using the MYSTIC, go to the Map screen and zoom out over the area on the map where you have uploaded the region. Once you have zoomed out far enough, you will see the outline of a box. This box represents the region that you just uploaded. This portion of the map now has detailed street and points of interest information. In addition to the Quick Reference Guide enclosed with your CD, there is also a complete User Manual available within the software. Just click on the H elp Menu.

122 Yo u r MYSTIC GPS receiver has been upgraded to include the latest WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) technology. With WAAS your GPS receiver can compute position locations with an accuracy never before possible in a commercial receiver. What is WAAS? WAAS is a means of improving the accuracy of GPS beyond the standard civilian signal. WAAS was developed by the FAA to provide the accuracy needed for aircraft to perform approaches for landings. WAAS improves the accuracy of GPS by calculating the errors in the GPS signal at several monitoring stations around the country and then transmitting the error corrections to special WAAS satellites. In turn, these satellites broadcast the error corrections to WAAS-capable GPS receivers around the world. WAAS is a free service and, with the small exception of two additional satellites displayed on the Satellite Status screen, it will be transparent to you. There is nothing you need do, it’s all ready to go. How accurate will my MYSTIC be with WAAS? The FAA reports that expected accuracy can be improved to around 7 meters vertically and horizontally. You can probably expect to see this level of accuracy for 95% of the time that you are receiving WAAS signals. What are some of the problems with WAAS? The signal coverage with WAAS is not global like GPS satellites. In some locations, receiving WAAS signals can be difficult and intermittent. There are two satellites transmitting WAAS for corrections in the Americas and two more over Africa and India providing similar coverage for Europe. These satellites are geostationary, i.e., they stay in the same spot over the Earth equator. The two satellites for the Americas are over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Chances are then, they will probably be near the horizon from where you are using your MYSTIC. This increases the chance that buildings, foliage, terrain and other obstacles could block the WAAS signal. Also WAAS is a relatively new system and is still in its developmental stage. So on occasion you may experience service outages. Even during these outages, your GPS receiver will still be working, computing position fixes and helping you get to where you want to go using the GPS signals. The only difference is you will not be getting the precision that WAAS was providing. You can expect to see these outages diminish as the system matures and stabilizes. For more information on WAAS, you can visit the FAA website’s section on their WAAS system: http://gps.faa.gov/programs/WAAS/waas.htm WA A S Mystic OM.book Page 122 Wednesday, October 22, 2003 8:59 PM

Symptom Cause Remedy Won’t power On. No or low voltage. Check for proper voltage getting to the radio. When the PTT button is pressed, the TX icon appears and another radio can hear a “click” but no audio is heard. Bad microphone element. Send the radio in for repair. While scanning, the radio stops on a particular Channel all the time. A source of noise may nearby. Eliminate the source of the noise or delete the Channel from the scan memory. There is noise on the receiver that the squelch will not eliminate. An external noise is being generated by some device nearby. Either turn off the offending device or contact the manufacturer regarding FCC part 15 “unintentional radiation”. Troubleshooting Mystic OM.book Page 124 Wednesday, October 22, 2003 8:59 PM
