1.3 Turning On and Off the
Power
Turning on the power
Press and hold down the [DIM/PWR] key.
The unit beeps and then starts up with the
last-used display mode.
The GP-30/35 takes about two minutes to
find its position when turned on for the very
first time. This is because the default posi-
tion is San Francisco, USA. If you want to
lessen the time needed to find position you
may enter your position manually on the
SIMULATOR screen of the SYSTEM
SETUP MENU, referring to 1.7 Simulator
Display on page 1-8. Thereafter it takes
about 20 seconds to find position each time
the power is turned on.
If position could not be found, “GPS NO
FIX” appears at the center of the display.
When the satellite signal is being received
normally, the GP-30/35 displays various ab-
breviations at the top left-hand corner of the
display which show receiver status. Table
1-1 shows these abbreviations and their
meanings.
