[gps-talkusers] Re: Questions about the Earth Mate receiver

Hello, Sarai,
The receiver is probably in a cloth pouch. That just protects it, and won't interfere with reception at all, unless the pouch just happens to be made of cloth which has metal threads running through it. Also, since the receiver is bright yellow for some strange reason, the cloth pouch kind of lowers the profile, and does not present such an inviting target. The Earthmate GPS receiver has no screen or buttons. It plugs into your BN or PK or laptop, and that serves as the controller and indicator. If you are using the battery pack, the receiver plugs into the battery pack. The connector has a lock button it, so use a little caution when disconnecting so you won't break anything. I have the USB cable with mine, so the battery pack is not necessary. I think most people wear it near the top of their shoulder strap, with the cable running down the strap to their BN. If the cable is too long, just put a few short loops in the cable and fasten them together with a rubber band.

Hi,
Okay, the receiver is surrounded by cloth and I don't see the screen or
the buttons, so where are they? Also, the battery pack, where is the
outlet and where do you put it when wearing it?
