Searching will be completed quickly when the unit is
activated from the Sleep mode. If the unit is activated
from the Off state, Searching may take up to 2
minutes to acquire a satellite signal.
To ensure the most effective way the unit searches
for a satellite signal, hold the unit face up toward the
open sky. Move away from tall buildings, trees or
overhead obstructions.
The digital compass may be affected by large metal
objects, such as buildings with metal, power lines,
and steel bridges. Move away from these types of
