Hereby, RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD., declares that this SG761
GPS Module/GYSFDMASA-P2 is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/ 5/EC.
For a full version of the Declaration of Conformity (DoC), please refer to
About the GPS
GPS means the Global Positioning System. The camera receives
signals from multiple GPS satellites to determine its position and the
time. This is called "positioning".
RICOH WG-4 GPS
• Positioning may be difficult or impossible in the following situations:
- Under water
- Under ground or indoors
- In tunnels
- Among high-rise buildings
The CE Mark is a Directive conformity mark of the European Union.

Utilities Guide for GPS
Embeds location information on an image
Location information such as latitude and longitude of a shooting
location is recorded. The shooting location can be displayed on a map
by using the provided software.
- Under elevated or near high-voltage electrical power lines
- In the woods
- Near mobile phones that use the 1.5 GHz band
• When the GPS function is set to on, the camera performs positioning
regularly even if it is turned off. Make sure that [GPS On/Off] is set to
[Off] (p.5) before turning off the camera when taking it where using
electronic products is prohibited, such as hospitals or airplanes.
• Positioning may take a few minutes when using the GPS function for
the first time, after not positioning for a long while, or after changing
the battery.
• The Geodetic system for this camera’s GPS function uses the World
Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84).
• Using the GPS or recording location information is prohibited in some
countries or regions. Consult the appropriate embassy or a travel
agent before travelling with a GPS camera.

Saves log files to the SD Memory Card
The camera receives signals from GPS satellites regularly and saves
GPS information to the SD Memory Card as a log file in KML format. The
log files can be imported to Google Earth, Google Maps or other
programs that can read KML files on a computer and your route can be
displayed on their maps.

Corrects the camera clock using GPS information
The camera corrects its clock automatically using the time data received
from GPS satellites.
This manual describes how to use the GPS function on the RICOH WG-4 GPS
and precautions when using it. Please read this manual before using the GPS
function on the camera.
Displays the electronic compass on the screen
The camera has the Electronic Compass function that displays the lens
direction at the time of shooting on the screen.
• Do not carry the camera in a metal container during positioning. If the
camera is covered with metal, GPS positioning cannot be achieved.
• In the following situations, the camera cannot obtain GPS information.
It starts positioning again immediately after being out of the following
situations:
When the camera receives signals from GPS satellites, it indicates the
orientation to true north using GPS location information. The location
information can be recorded on captured images.
- When the alarm is set
-
When the camera is connected to a computer with a USB cable
When the camera does not receive any signals or the GPS function is
set to off, it indicates the orientation to magnetic north.
- When the camera is connected to an AV device with an AV or HDMI
cable
- For a minute after changing the battery
• The GPS function of this camera was designed and manufactured for
personal digital camera use only. Do not try to use it as a navigation
tool for aircraft, motor vehicles, or people, or for surveying. We will not
