WALKMANNWZ-F886/F887

Notes on the GPS function

  • Move your Walkman as little as possible in an area where there are no tall buildings and trees around until the current location is displayed by the GPS function. The current location can be displayed more quickly when stationary than while moving. If the current location is not displayed or if the wrong location is displayed, check the following notes.
  • When other electronic devices are near your Walkman, electromagnetic waves or magnetic interference from these may prevent the Walkman from providing accurate location information. Keep other electronic devices away from the Walkman.
  • When in an area with poor reception of GPS signals, you may encounter positioning errors. To receive more accurate information, avoid using your Walkman in the following locations.
    • Inside buildings or in vehicles such as cars and trains
    • In tunnels or underground
    • Under elevated tracks
    • Between tall buildings
    • In dense trees
    • In valleys
  • If the wrong location is displayed, turn off the wireless network temporarily. See if the location information improves before turning on the wireless network again.
  • The GPS antenna is built in to your Walkman. If you cover the antenna () with your hands or other objects while using the GPS function, the positioning accuracy may decrease.
