Caliber's technical support department is available

M-F, 8:00-5:00, Pacific Time (except holidays).

When calling technical support, please have available the serial

number of the unit, the return shipping address, and a daytime

telephone number. A Product Support Specialist will provide you

with a Return Material Authorization tracking number (RMA#)

and shipping instructions.

Please note: Caliber recommends that return items are shipped

through a carrier that offers shipment tracking as well as shipping

insurance. So that it is completely protected in the event that the

shipment is lost or damaged, please insure your unit for its pur-

chase price. If return items are not shipped through a carrier that

offers shipment tracking and the return items are not insured for

their full value, you will be responsible for any loss or damage to

the product during shipping.

What is WAAS?

WAAS stands for the "Wide Area Augmentation System" ; it is an

FAA-funded project designed to improve the overall accuracy and

integrity of GPS signals for flying in instrument meteorological

conditions, primarily during the approach and landing phases of

flight. It is a space-based system that broadcasts integrity informa-

tion and correction data as determined by ground reference sta-

tions. At this time, the system is still in the development stage.

The goal is to provide reliable signals with an accuracy of seven

meters (21-22 ft), both horizontally and vertically, 95+% of the

time. Current tests show the actual accuracy to be on the order of

2-3 meters. See http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm for

more information.
