+ <title>Quick Start Guide</title>
+ <para>
+ TeleGPS is designed to be easy to use. Requiring no external
+ components, flying takes just a few steps.
+ </para>
+ </chapter>
+ <chapter>
+ <title>Handling Precautions</title>
+ <para>
+ All Altus Metrum products are sophisticated electronic devices.
+ When handled gently and properly installed in an air-frame, they
+ will deliver impressive results. However, as with all electronic
+ devices, there are some precautions you must take.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The Lithium polymer batteries have an
+ extraordinary power density. This is great because we can fly with
+ much less battery mass... but if they are punctured
+ or their contacts are allowed to short, they can and will release their
+ energy very rapidly!
+ Thus we recommend that you take some care when handling TeleGPS
+ to keep conductive material from coming in contact with the exposed metal elements.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ As with all other rocketry electronics, Altus Metrum devices must
+ be protected from exposure to corrosive motor exhaust and ejection
+ charge gasses.
+ </para>

+ <section>
+ <title>GPS Receiver</title>
+ <para>
+ TeleGPS uses the u-Blox Max-7Q GPS receiver.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <title>Micro-controller</title>
+ <para>
+ TeleGPS uses an NXP LPC11U14 micro-controller. This tiny
+ CPU contains 32kB of flash for the application and 4kB of RAM for
+ temporary data storage.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <title>Lithium Polymer Battery</title>
+ <para>
+ Shipping restrictions may prevent us from including a battery
+ battery with TeleGPS.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <title>Mechanical Considerations</title>
+ <para>
+ TeleGPS is designed to be rugged enough for typical rocketry
+ applications.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <title>On-board data storage</title>
+ <para>
+ TeleGPS has some bytes of non-volatile storage, separate
+ from the code storage memory. The TeleGPS firmware uses this
+ to store information about the last completed
+ flight.
