CAUTION

Global Position System (GPS) was developed and is managed by the United States Department of Defense (DOD) which is responsible for its normal operation and position precision control; the U.S. is entitled to affect function or position precision of the whole system without prior notification or announcement based on its political considerations or safety of national defense.
To use SWAMI 6000 correctly and safely, you must be aware of the following infor-mation prior to operating the device:

The SWAMI 6000 was only designed for the purpose of leisure and recreation and is not applicable for industrial or special measurement.
The SWAMI 6000 is only an auxiliary device. IZZO Golf will not accept any legal liability for accidents due to mistaken operation, or any use of the SWAMI 6000 for measurement.
Please do not try to dissemble the SWAMI 6000 or repair any part of the device discreetly.
Please do not store the SWAMI 6000 in places exposed to direct sunlight or in extremely high temperatures.

About GPS
Global Position System (GPS) is a satellite system developed by the Department of Defense of the U.S. GPS consists of 32 satellites that circle the earth and are 11,000 miles away from the ground. These satellites make two circles of the earth per day and emit signals of extremely low power which will be received and recorded by 5 ground stations. These ground stations will use precise time signals to confirm accurate positions of each satellite. Your GPS receiver can receive signals sent out by these satellites. An accurate latitude and longitude location can be determined when fixed upon at least 4 satellites.
WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) can enhance the precision of GPS. It was designed by the Federal Aviation Administration and is mainly used to enhance precision of GPS on an airplane. WAAS has extra ground stations in select positions which can work together with a master console to improve accuracy of satellite signals and reduce errors to about 3 yards.

Using Conditions
As Swami 6000 uses GPS, it is available only in the places that can receive satellite signals, excluding places indoor or in water.
