Chapter 1: Introducing the R320

T hank you for your purchase of the R320 GNSS receiver. Built on
Hemisphere GPS’ Eclipse™ II platform, the R320 boasts the latest GNSS
patented technology and offers extremely quick startup and
reacquisition times. The feature-rich R320 tracks GPS L1/L2, SBAS, and
L-band (OmniSTAR® G2/HP/XP/VBS) signals and can log raw data for post
processing to a removable USB flash drive. It also utilizes Hemisphere GPS’
exclusive COAST™ technology to provide accurate positioning data during
DGPS and SBAS correction outages.

Offering such upgradable features as RTK base station functionality or RTK

rover performance as well as GLONASS tracking, the R320 is a cost-effective,
multi-GNSS solution compatible with other GNSS products. As a result,
R320 fits a wide range of precise positioning applications from land and
hydrographic surveying to machine guidance and control.

Improved RTK performance based on Hemisphere GPS’ patent-pending

SureTrack® technology is scalable on the R320, allowing you to achieve
centimeter-level accuracy with L1/L2 GPS or improve performance and
reliability with L1/L2 GLONASS signals. SureTrack ensures that the RTK rover
receiver makes use of every satellite it is tracking, even satellites not tracked
at the base. Additional benefits include fewer RTK dropouts in congested
environments, faster requisitions and more robust solutions due to better
cycle slip detection, and the ability to process GNSS data from various
manufacturers. Even if the base supports only GPS, SureTrack processes
GLONASS signals at the rover to deliver complete GNSS performance.

T he R320 is designed for easy setup, with the following steps described
in this chapter:

• Mounting the receiver

• Mounting the antenna
• Connecting the cables
• Connecting the receiver to other devices

Mounting the Receiver

Note: Although you are not required to mount the receiver, you may want to
do so to prevent damage to the receiver and any cables connected to the
receiver.

Before mounting the receiver keep the following in mind:

• Menu screen, LEDs, and buttons are visible and accessible

• Top panel is accessible for connecting/switching out cables and
powering the receiver on/off
• Mount the receiver inside and away from the elements and in a
location that minimizes vibration, shock, extreme temperatures and
moisture

Note: There is an option within the menu system to switch (flip 180°) the
direction of the display. If it is easier to mount the unit upside down, you can
mount it this way and still operate the display.

Chapter 2: Installing the R320

Mounting the Antenna

Antenna placement is crucial to the system’s operation. The GPS engine
inside the R320 computes a position based on measurements from each
satellite to the phase center of the antenna; therefore, mount the antenna at
the location where the reference position should be.

When considering the mounting location keep the following in mind:

• Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky so that GPS
satellites are not masked by obstructions (which may potentially
reducing system performance)
• Mount the antenna on, or as close to, the measurement center point
• Position the antenna as high as possible

You have the following options when mounting the antenna:

• Magnetic mount
• Pole mount

Magnetic Mount
The magnetic mount can be screwed into the bottom of the antenna and
mounted to metal surfaces. The magnetic mount includes a metal disc and
foam adhesive that allow you to bond the metal disc to the desired
mounting location if there are no metal surfaces. You then place the
magnetic mount on the metal disc.

To attach the antenna using the magnetic mount:

1. Clean and dry the surface where you will attach the metal disc.
2. Remove the backing from one side of the foam adhesive and press
the adhesive onto the mounting surface.
3. Remove the backing from the other side of the foam adhesive and
press the metal disc onto the mounting surface, applying firm
pressure to ensure good adhesion.
4. Place the magnetic mount (with antenna attached) on top of the
metal disc.

 R320 Receiver User Guide

Pole Mount
The center thread of the antenna is 5/8 inches for compatibility with a survey
pole (not included). Simply thread the pole into the antenna.

Connecting the Cables

When connecting the cables from the R320 ensure the following:

• Power cable must reach an appropriate power source

• Antenna cable must reach from the antenna to the R320 receiver
• Data cable may connect to a data storage device, computer, or other
device that accepts GPS data

When choosing a route for all R320 cables keep the following in mind:

• Avoid running cables in areas of excessive heat

• Keep cables away from corrosive chemicals
• Do not run the extension cable through door or window jams
• Keep cables away from rotating machinery
• Do not crimp or excessively bend the cables
• Avoid placing tension on the cables
• Remove unwanted slack from the extension cable at the receiver
end
• Secure along the cable route using plastic wraps

Improperly installed cables near machinery can be dangerous.

Chapter 2: Installing the R320

Connecting the R320 to External Devices

Communication between the R320 and external devices occurs through two
serial ports and two USB ports, as shown in Figure 2-2. You can configure
the ports for a combination of NMEA 0183, binary, and/or RTCM SC-104 data.

Serial
ports

USB port shared with Port A USB port used for logging
serial port (used to connect data via USB flash drive
to external devices)

Figure 2-2: R320 serial and USB ports

If you connect a device to Port A, Port B, or the top USB port you can
transmit and receive data between the R320 and the device. Similarly, if you
connect one device to Port B and another device to the top USB port you can
transmit and receive data between the R320 and each device.

Note: Port A is shared with the top USB port. If you connect a device to
Port A and another device to the top USB port the receive functionality on
Port A is disabled. Therefore, Hemisphere GPS recommends using Port B
and the USB port if want to connect two devices to the R320.

The top USB port is designed to be connected to a host device such as a PC.
When you connect a PC to the R320 the PC should recognize it as a serial
device and a new COM will appear as a valid connection on the PC. Set the
communication software to use this new port to access the R320.

The bottom USB port is used for data logging onto a USB flash drive. If your
flash drive has a status LED it should light up when you plug it in. For further
data logging options, see “Data Logging Menu” on page 49.

10
 R320 Receiver User Guide

Note: If you connect the supplied USB cable to the bottom USB port (data
logging) or connect a USB flash drive to the top USB port (data
communication), the USB functionality will not work as the USB ports are
not interchangeable.

The serial ports operate at the RS-232 interface level to

communicate with external data loggers, navigation
systems, and other devices. Either serial port can also
be used for firmware updates. The figure to the right
illustrates the numbering for the DB9 connector
(female). The numbering for each plug connector (male)
is a mirror reflection of the scheme to the right.

Note: The baud rate for either R320 serial port and the device to which it is
connected must match for successful communication. Table 2-1 provides the
pin configuration for the serial ports.

Chapter 2: Installing the R320

Configuring the Receiver

You can configure many aspects of the R320 through either serial port using
Hemisphere GPS commands. Refer to Hemisphere GPS’ GPS Technical
Reference available from the Hemisphere GPS website for details.

Note: Contact your Hemisphere GPS dealer for more information regarding
configuration and the use of Hemisphere GPS commands.

Environmental Considerations
Although it is splash proof in case of accidental exposure the R320 is
designed for indoor use. The antenna is designed for outdoor use. See
Table B-4 on page 39 for the environmental specifications.

Note: Changes you make to the R320 via either serial port are not
automatically saved to memory for subsequent powerups; therefore, you
must issue the $JSAVE command to save the changes. However, if you make
changes via the menu system, they are automatically saved.

following topics:

• Powering the R320 on/off

• LED indicators
• R320 Main menu

Powering the Receiver On/Off

The power (ON/OFF) button of the R320 is located on the top panel.

Figure 3-1: R320 Series power button

The R320 accepts an input voltage of 8 to 36 VDC via the power cable. The
supplied power should be continuous and clean for best performance.
Table B-5 on page 40 provides the power specifications of the R320.

Do not provide a voltage higher than the input range (36 VDC).
This will damage the receiver and void the warranty.

Do not attempt to operate the R320 with the fuse bypassed.

This will void the warranty.

14
 R320 Receiver User Guide

The R320 features reverse polarity protection to prevent damage if the

power leads are accidentally reversed. Although the R320 proceeds through
an internal startup sequence when you apply power, it will be ready to
communicate immediately.

Note: The initial startup may take 5 to 15 minutes depending on the

location. Subsequent startups will output a valid position within 1 to 5
minutes depending on the location and time since the last startup.

Note: The R320 may take up to 5 minutes to receive a full ionospheric map
from SBAS. Optimum accuracy is obtained once the R320 is processing
corrected positions using complete ionospheric information.

To power on the R320:

1. Connect the ends of the R320 power cable to a clean power source
providing 8 to 36 VDC.

Note: Hemisphere GPS suggests you use a weathertight

connection and connector if the connection is located outside.

2. Press the ON/OFF button on the top panel.

To power off the R320:

• Press the ON/OFF button on the top panel.

RTK Operation
Using OmniSTAR
Chapter 4: Using GNSS Differential Corrections

R TK is a differential options that provides the highest accuracy (see

Table B-2 on page 39 for accuracy specifications). A local base station
is required, with the base station and rover each typically comprised of
the following:

• GNSS receiver
• GNSS antenna
• Radio: transmitter for base station, receiver for rover
• Power source

Installing the Base Station

The base station tracks GNSS signals and broadcasts differential corrections
to a radio and rover GNSS receiver. You typically set up the base station near
the working area and at a location with no obstructions between the base
station and rover radio.

When installing the base station ensure the following:

• Base station is not placed near metal objects

• Base station is at least 50 m (160 ft) from obstructions
• Base station and rover radio have a clear line of sight up to 5 km
(3 mi) or less depending on the radio type when operating RTK

Installing the Rover Radio

The rover GNSS system processes the corrections and outputs highly
accurate position information.

When installing the rover radio ensure the following:

• Rover radio and GNSS antenna are at least 1 m (3 ft) apart

• Rover radio must not block the GNSS antenna
• Rover radio must receive regular corrections from the base station
every one to two seconds (differential age) for up to 15 minutes to
achieve RTK lock (maximum accuracy) - typically, a lock is achieved
in less than five minutes

28
 R320 Receiver User Guide

Using the Receiver as a Base Station or Rover

Using the R320 as a base station or rover receiver requires a subscription and
a link between base and rover to transfer differential correction data from
base to rover. The link can be wired or wireless (such as a radio modem).

Setting Up the Receiver as a Base Station or Rover

Make sure the current R320 application is set to SBASRTKB for a base station
or RTK for a rover.

Button (where
Step
applicable)

1. On the Main menu press the Up or Down arrow until System

Setup is highlighted.

2. Press Enter. The System Setup menu appears with Display

Apps highlighted.

3. With Display Apps highlighted press Enter.

Make sure In Use: displays as either:
• SBASRTKB for an RTK base station
• RTK for an RTK rover receiver
If the RTK application only appears next to Other:, scroll
down and select Swap Applications. The desired
application will then be shown as In Use.

29
Chapter 4: Using GNSS Differential Corrections

Connecting the Receiver to a PC

You can also select the appropriate application using a terminal program
such as Hyper Terminal®, SLXMon, or PocketMAXTM.
When using direct commands from a PC, send the $JAPP command to view
the current application. A response such as $>JAPP,SBASRTKB,RTK,1,2 will
appear, indicating the SBASRTKB application is active and RTK is the
secondary application. If the application was different and RTK was first,
such as $>JAPP,RTK,SBASRTKB,2,1, then send $JAPP,other to swap
applications so the correct application is used.

Button (where
Step

Chapter 4: Using GNSS Differential Corrections

RTK Operation
After you connect the receiver to the desired devices and are operating
using RTK, the status LEDs indicate the following:

• Yellow: tracking GPS

• Flashing green: differential has been attained, but the residual has
not met the threshold
• Solid green: RTK lock

The R320 will output standard NMEA messages through Port A as desired.
Set the message and port output as desired.

 R320 Receiver User Guide

Using OmniSTAR
OmniSTAR is a worldwide terrestrial DGPS service that provides correction
data to subscribers of the system with the use of a geostationary
transponder. With this service, the positioning accuracy does not degrade as
a function of distance to a base station, as the data content is not composed
of a single base station’s information, but an entire network’s information.

The information broadcast by this service is based upon a network of

reference stations placed at geographically strategic locations. The network
stations communicate GPS correction data to control centers where it is
decoded, checked, and repackaged into a proprietary format for
transmission to a geostationary L-band communications satellite. The
satellite rebroadcasts the correction information back to earth over a large
signal footprint where the R320’s L-band differential satellite receiver
demodulates the data. The resulting corrections are those that would be
calculated if a reference station were set up at the present location. This type
of solution ensures a consistent level of accuracy across the entire coverage
area.

OmniSTAR Reception
The OmniSTAR service broadcasts at a similar frequency to GPS, and as a
result, is a line-of-sight system. There must be a line of sight between the
antenna and the OmniSTAR satellite for reception of the service. The
OmniSTAR service uses geostationary satellites for communication. The
elevation angle to these satellites is dependent upon latitude. For latitudes
higher than approximately 55° north or south, the OmniSTAR signal may be
blocked more easily by obstructions such as trees, buildings, terrain, or other
objects.

OmniSTAR Service Activation

The OmniSTAR service may be activated by contacting the service provider
in the your region. Contact OmniSTAR with the unit number and they will
activate the subscription over the air. Please have the receiver ready to
receive the OmniSTAR signal for subscription validation.

For questions regarding the OmniSTAR service, contact OmniSTAR for

further information.

End User License Agreement
 END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
IMPORTANT - This is an agreement (the "Agreement") between you, the end purchaser
("Licensee") and Hemisphere GPS Inc. ("Hemisphere") which permits Licensee to use the
Hemisphere software (the "Software") that accompanies this Agreement. This Software may
be licensed on a standalone basis or may be embedded in a Product. Please read and ensure
that you understand this Agreement before installing or using the Software Update or using a
Product.

In this agreement any product that has Software embedded in it at the time of sale to the
Licensee shall be referred to as a "Product". As well, in this Agreement, the use of a Product
shall be deemed to be use of the Software which is embedded in the Product.

BY INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE OR THE PRODUCT, LICENSEE THEREBY

AGREES TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT
AGREE TO THESE TERMS, (I) DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND (II) IF YOU ARE
INSTALLING AN UPDATE TO THE SOFTWARE, DO NOT INSTALL THE UPDATE AND
PROMPTLY DESTROY IT.

HEMISPHERE PROVIDES LIMITED WARRANTIES IN RELATION TO THE SOFTWARE. AS WELL,

THOSE WHO USE THE EMBEDDED SOFTWARE DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK. YOU SHOULD
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS SET OUT IN THIS
AGREEMENT BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR THE PRODUCT.

1. LICENSE. Hemisphere hereby grants to Licensee a non-transferable and non-exclusive

license to use the Software as embedded in a Product and all Updates (collectively the
"Software"), solely in binary executable form.
2. RESTRICTIONS ON USE. Licensee agrees that Licensee and its employees will not
directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever:
a. install or use more copies of the Software than the number of copies that have been
licensed;

b. use or install the Software in connection with any product other than the Product the
Software was intended to be used or installed on as set out in the documentation that
accompanies the Software.

c. copy any of the Software or any written materials for any purpose except as part of
Licensee's normal backup processes;

d. modify or create derivative works based on the Software;

e. sub-license, rent, lease, loan or distribute the Software;

f. permit any third party to use the Software;

56
 g. use or operate Product for the benefit of any third party in any type of service
outsourcing, application service, provider service or service bureau capacity;

h. reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software or otherwise reduce it to a

human perceivable form;

i. Assign this Agreement or sell or otherwise transfer the Software to any other party
except as part of the sale or transfer of the whole Product.
3. UPDATES. At Hemisphere's discretion Hemisphere may make Updates available to
Licensee. An update ("Update") means any update to the Software that is made available
to Licensee including error corrections, enhancements and other modifications. Licensee
may access, download and install Updates during the Warranty Period only. All Updates
that Licensee downloads, installs or uses shall be deemed to be Software and subject to
this Agreement. Hemisphere reserves the right to modify the Product without any
obligation to notify, supply or install any improvements or alterations to existing
Software.
4. SUPPORT. Hemisphere may make available directly or through its authorized dealers
telephone and email support for the Software. Contact Hemisphere to find the authorized
dealer near you. As well, Hemisphere may make available user and technical
documentation regarding the Software. Hemisphere reserves the right to reduce and limit
access to such support at any time.
5. BACKUPS AND RECOVERY. Licensee shall back-up all data used, created or stored by
the Software on a regular basis as necessary to enable proper recovery of the data and
related systems and processes in the event of a malfunction in the Software or any loss or
corruption of data caused by the Software. Licensee shall assume all risks of loss or
damage for any failure to comply with the foregoing.
6. OWNERSHIP. Hemisphere and its suppliers own all rights, title and interest in and to the
Software and related materials, including all intellectual property rights. The Software is
licensed to Licensee, not sold.
7. TRADEMARKS. "Hemisphere GPS", "Outback Guidance", "BEELINE", "Crescent",
"Eclipse" and the associated logos are trademarks of Hemisphere. Other trademarks are
the property of their respective owners. Licensee may not use any of these trademarks
without the consent of their respective owners.
8. LIMITED WARRANTY. Hemisphere warrants solely to the Licensee, subject to the
exclusions and procedures set forth herein below, that for a period of one (1) year from
the original date of purchase of the Product in which it is embedded (the "Warranty
Period"), the Software, under normal use and maintenance, will conform in all material
respects to the documentation provided with the Software and any media will be free of
defects in materials and workmanship. For any Update, Hemisphere warrants, for 90 days
from performance or delivery, or for the balance of the original Warranty Period,

57
 whichever is greater, that the Update, under normal use and maintenance, will conform in
all material respects to the documentation provided with the Update and any media will
be free of defects in materials and workmanship. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Hemisphere does not warrant that the Software will meet Licensee's requirements or that
its operation will be error free.
9. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS. The warranty set forth in Section (8) will not apply to any
deficiencies caused by (a) the Product not being used as described in the documentation
supplied to Licensee, (b) the Software having been altered, modified or converted in any
way by anyone other than Hemisphere approved by Hemisphere, (c) any malfunction of
Licensee's equipment or other software, or (d) damage occurring in transit or due to any
accident, abuse, misuse, improper installation, lightning (or other electrical discharge) or
neglect other than that caused by Hemisphere. Hemisphere GPS does not warrant or
guarantee the precision or accuracy of positions obtained when using the Software
(whether standalone or embedded in a Product). The Product and the Software is not
intended and should not be used as the primary means of navigation or for use in safety
of life applications. The potential positioning and navigation accuracy obtainable with the
Software as stated in the Product or Software documentation serves to provide only an
estimate of achievable accuracy based on specifications provided by the US Department
of Defense for GPS positioning and DGPS service provider performance specifications,
where applicable.
10. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT,
HEMISPHERE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND
TO LICENSEE, WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND INCLUDING
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY
OR THAT THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE AND
HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING
AS A RESULT OF CUSTOM, USAGE OR TRADE AND THOSE ARISING UNDER STATUTE.
11. LIMITS ON WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion
of implied warranties or conditions, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to
Licensee. In that case, any implied warranties or conditions which would then otherwise
arise will be limited in duration to ninety (90) days from the date of the license of the
Software or the purchase of the Product. The warranties given herein give Licensee
specific legal rights and Licensee may have other rights which may vary from jurisdiction
to jurisdiction.
12. CHANGE TO WARRANTY. No employee or agent of Hemisphere is authorized to change
the warranty provided or the limitation or disclaimer of warranty provisions. All such
changes will only be effective if pursuant to a separate agreement signed by senior
officers of the respective parties.
13. WARRANTY CLAIM. In the event Licensee has a warranty claim Licensee must first
check for and install all Updates that are made available. The warranty will not otherwise

58
 be honored. Proof of purchase may be required. Hemisphere does not honor claims
asserted after the end of the Warranty Period.
14. LICENSEE REMEDIES. In all cases which involve a failure of the Software to conform in
any material respect to the documentation during the Warranty Period or a breach of a
warranty, Hemisphere's sole obligation and liability, and Licensee's sole and exclusive
remedy, is for Hemisphere, at Hemisphere's option, to (a) repair the Software, (b) replace
the Software with software conforming to the documentation, or (c) if Hemisphere is
unable, on a reasonable commercial basis, to repair the Software or to replace the
Software with conforming software within ninety (90) days, to terminate this Agreement
and thereafter Licensee shall cease using the Software. Hemisphere will also issue a
refund for the price paid by Licensee less an amount on account of amortization,
calculated on a straight-line basis over a deemed useful life of three (3) years.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE
FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDING
ARISING IN RELATION TO ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCOME, REVENUE, GOODWILL OR
ANTICIPATED SAVINGS EVEN IF HEMISPHERE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. FURTHER, IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE'S
TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY HEREUNDER, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY
KIND, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE TO HEMISPHERE TO PURCHASE
THE PRODUCT. THIS LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION APPLIES IRRESPECTIVE OF THE
CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, MISREPRESENTATION
OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WILL SURVIVE A FUNDAMENTAL BREACH.
16. LIMITS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the
limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to Licensee and Licensee may also have other legal
rights which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
17. BASIS OF BARGAIN. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere has set its
prices and the parties have entered into this Agreement in reliance on the limited
warranties, warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same
reflect an agreed-to allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a remedy
may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same forms
an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. Licensee agrees and acknowledges
that Hemisphere would not have been able to sell the Product at the amount charged on
an economic basis without such limitations.
18. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY. Hemisphere shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Licensee from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, proceedings,
liabilities, direct damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs and expenses,
including royalties and attorneys' fees and related costs, in connection with or arising out
of any actual infringement of any third party patent, copyright or other intellectual
property right by the Software or by its use, in accordance with this Agreement and

59
 documentation, PROVIDED THAT: (a) Hemisphere has the right to assume full control over
any action, claim, demand or proceeding, (b) Licensee shall promptly notify Hemisphere
of any such action, claim, demand, or proceeding, and (c) Licensee shall give Hemisphere
such reasonable assistance and tangible material as is reasonably available to Licensee
for the defense of the action, claim, demand or proceeding. Licensee shall not settle or
compromise any of same for which Hemisphere has agreed to assume responsibility
without Hemisphere's prior written consent. Licensee may, at its sole cost and expense,
retain separate counsel from the counsel utilized or retained by Hemisphere.
19. INFRINGEMENT. If use of the Software may be enjoined due to a claim of infringement
by a third party then, at its sole discretion and expense, Hemisphere may do one of the
following: (a) negotiate a license or other agreement so that the Product is no longer
subject to such a potential claim, (b) modify the Product so that it becomes non-infringing,
provided such modification can be accomplished without materially affecting the
performance and functionality of the Product, (c) replace the Software, or the Product,
with non-infringing software, or product, of equal or better performance and quality, or (d)
if none of the foregoing can be done on a commercially reasonable basis, terminate this
license and Licensee shall stop using the Product and Hemisphere shall refund the price
paid by Licensee less an amount on account of amortization, calculated on a straight-line
basis over a deemed useful life of three (3) years.
The foregoing sets out the entire liability of Hemisphere and the sole obligations of
Hemisphere to Licensee in respect of any claim that the Software or its use infringes any
third party rights.

20. INDEMNIFICATION. Except in relation to an infringement action, Licensee shall

indemnify and hold Hemisphere harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of lawyers and other
professionals) arising out of or in connection with Licensee's use of the Product, whether
direct or indirect, including without limiting the foregoing, loss of data, loss of profit or
business interruption.
21. TERMINATION. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause.
Hemisphere may terminate this Agreement on 30 days notice to Licensee if Licensee fails
to materially comply with each provision of this Agreement unless such default is cured
within the 30 days. Any such termination by a party shall be in addition to and without
prejudice to such rights and remedies as may be available, including injunction and other
equitable remedies. Upon receipt by Licensee of written notice of termination from
Hemisphere or termination by Licensee, Licensee shall at the end of any notice period (a)
cease using the Software; and (b) return to Hemisphere (or destroy and provide a
certificate of a Senior Officer attesting to such destruction) the Software and all related
material and any magnetic or optical media provided to Licensee. The provisions of
Sections 6), 7), 8), 9), 10), 15), 21), 26) and 27) herein shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement for any reason.

60
22. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. Licensee agrees that Licensee will comply with all export
control legislation of Canada, the United States, Australia and any other applicable
country's laws and regulations, whether under the Arms Export Control Act, the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations, the
regulations of the United States Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury, or
otherwise as well as the export control legislation of all other countries.
23. PRODUCT COMPONENTS. The Product may contain third party components. Those
third party components may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Licensee is
required to agree to those terms and conditions in order to use the Product.
24. FORCE MAJEURE EVENT. Neither party will have the right to claim damages as a result
of the other's inability to perform or any delay in performance due to unforeseeable
circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as labor disputes, strikes, lockouts,
war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, Internet virus attack, Internet failure, supplier failure, act
of God, or governmental action not the fault of the non-performing party.
25. FORUM FOR DISPUTES. The parties agree that the courts located in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada and the courts of appeal there from will have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any
disputes between Licensee and Hemisphere concerning this Agreement or Licensee's use
or inability to use the Software and the parties hereby irrevocably agree to attorn to the
jurisdiction of those courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief.
26. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of
Alberta, Canada, exclusive of any of its choice of law and conflicts of law jurisprudence.
27. CISG. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
will not apply to this Agreement or any transaction hereunder.
28. GENERAL. This is the entire agreement between Licensee and Hemisphere relating to the
Product and Licensee's use of the same, and supersedes all prior, collateral or
contemporaneous oral or written representations, warranties or agreements regarding the
same. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in
writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties. Any and all terms
and conditions set out in any correspondence between the parties or set out in a purchase
order which are different from or in addition to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
shall have no application and no written notice of same shall be required. In the event that
one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable,

 Warranty Notice
COVERED PRODUCTS: This warranty covers all products manufactured by Hemisphere GPS
and purchased by the end purchaser (the "Products"), unless otherwise specifically and
expressly agreed in writing by Hemisphere GPS.

LIMITED WARRANTY: Hemisphere GPS warrants solely to the end purchaser of the
Products, subject to the exclusions and procedures set forth below, that the Products sold to
such end purchaser and its internal components shall be free, under normal use and
maintenance, from defects in materials, and workmanship and will substantially conform to
Hemisphere GPS’s applicable specifications for the Product, for a period of 12 months from
delivery of such Product to such end purchaser (the ”Warranty Period”). Repairs and
replacement components for the Products are warranted, subject to the exclusions and
procedures set forth below, to be free, under normal use and maintenance, from defects in
material and workmanship, and will substantially conform to Hemisphere GPS’s applicable
specifications for the Product, for 90 days from performance or delivery, or for the balance of

EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. The LIMITED WARRANTY shall apply only if
the Product is properly and correctly installed, configured, interfaced, maintained, stored, and
operated in accordance with Hemisphere GPS’s relevant User’s Manual and Specifications,
AND the Product is not modified or misused. The Product is provided “AS IS” and the implied
warranties of MERCHANTABILITY and FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE and ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, express, implied or arising by statute, by course of dealing or by trade
usage, in connection with the design, sale, installation, service or use of any products or any
component thereof, are EXCLUDED from this transaction and shall not apply to the Product.
The LIMITED WARRANTY is IN LIEU OF any other warranty, express or implied, including but
not limited to, any warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
title, and non-infringement.

LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. The purchaser’s EXCLUSIVE REMEDY against Hemisphere GPS

shall be, at Hemisphere GPS’s option, the repair or replacement of any defective Product or
components thereof. The purchaser shall notify Hemisphere GPS or a Hemisphere GPS’s
approved service center immediately of any defect. Repairs shall be made through a
Hemisphere GPS approved service center only. Repair, modification or service of Hemisphere
GPS products by any party other than a Hemisphere GPS approved service center shall render
this warranty null and void. The remedy in this paragraph shall only be applied in the event
that the Product is properly and correctly installed, configured, interfaced, maintained, stored,
and operated in accordance with Hemisphere GPS’s relevant User’s Manual and
Specifications, AND the Product is not modified or misused. NO OTHER REMEDY (INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR CONTINGENT
DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR ANY
OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS) SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER,
even if Hemisphere GPS has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Without limiting
the foregoing, Hemisphere GPS shall not be liable for any damages of any kind resulting from
installation, use, quality, performance or accuracy of any Product.

HEMISPHERE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASER’S NEGLIGENCE OR

UNAUTHORIZED USES OF THE PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT SHALL HEMISPHERE GPS BE IN
ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM PURCHASER’S OWN
NEGLIGENCE, OR FROM OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT IN ANY WAY OTHER THAN AS
SPECIFIED IN HEMISPHERE GPS’S RELEVANT USER’S MANUAL AND SPECIFICATIONS.
Hemisphere GPS is NOT RESPONSIBLE for defects or performance problems resulting from
(1) misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect of Product; (2) the utilization of the Product
with hardware or software products, information, data, systems, interfaces or devices not
made, supplied or specified by Hemisphere GPS; (3) the operation of the Product under any
specification other than, or in addition to, the specifications set forth in Hemisphere GPS’s
relevant User’s Manual and Specifications; (4) damage caused by accident or natural events,
such as lightning (or other electrical discharge) or fresh/salt water immersion of Product; (5)
damage occurring in transit; (6) normal wear and tear; or (7) the operation or failure of
operation of any satellite-based positioning system or differential correction service; or the
availability or performance of any satellite-based positioning signal or differential correction
signal.

THE PURCHASER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OPERATING THE VEHICLE SAFELY. The

purchaser is solely responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle used in connection with
the Product, and for maintaining proper system control settings. UNSAFE DRIVING OR
SYSTEM CONTROL SETTINGS CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH. The
purchaser is solely responsible for his/her safety and for the safety of others. The purchaser is
solely responsible for maintaining control of the automated steering system at all times. THE
PURCHASER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THE PRODUCT IS PROPERLY AND
CORRECTLY INSTALLED, CONFIGURED, INTERFACED, MAINTAINED, STORED, AND
OPERATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH HEMISPHERE GPS’S RELEVANT USER’S MANUAL AND
SPECIFICATIONS. Hemisphere GPS does not warrant or guarantee the positioning and
navigation precision or accuracy obtained when using Products. Products are not intended for
primary navigation or for use in safety of life applications. The potential accuracy of Products
as stated in Hemisphere GPS literature and/or Product specifications serves to provide only an
estimate of achievable accuracy based on performance specifications provided by the satellite
service operator (i.e. US Department of Defense in the case of GPS) and differential correction
service provider. Hemisphere GPS reserves the right to modify Products without any
obligation to notify, supply or install any improvements or alterations to existing Products.

GOVERNING LAW. This agreement and any disputes relating to, concerning or based upon
the Product shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
Arizona.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE. In order to obtain warranty service, the end purchaser
must bring the Product to a Hemisphere GPS approved service center along with the end
purchaser's proof of purchase. Hemisphere GPS does not warrant claims asserted after the end
of the warranty period. For any questions regarding warranty service or to obtain information
