Hereby, PENTAX RICOH IMAGING CO.,LTD., declares that this
SG661 GPS Module/GYSFDMASA-P1 is in compliance with the
essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/
5/EC.
GPS means Global Positioning System. The camera receives signals
from GPS satellites to determine its position and the time. This is called
"positioning".
• Positioning may be difficult or impossible in the following situations:
- Under the water
- Under the ground or indoors
- In tunnels
- Among high-rise buildings
For a full version of the Declaration of Conformity (DoC), please refer to

Function of Optio WG-2 GPS
The CE Mark is a Directive conformity mark of the European Union.
Location of where images are shot can be recorded
The latitude and longitude etc., of still pictures or movies can be
recorded. You can see the positions of images you shot 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 to set [GPS On/Off] 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 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 GPS or recording the positions of images you shot is prohibited
in some countries or regions. Consult appropriate embassy or travel
agent before travelling with a GPS camera.
