Using the Satellite Page

tion in order to work. The Satellite Page shows you the satellites being acquired (in anima-
tion), satellite signal strength, and the Foretrex 101 unit’s estimated location accuracy.
When the message on the Satellite Page no longer reads “Acquiring...”, the Foretrex 101
has found your location and you are ready to go!
NOTE: If you are using your Foretrex 101 for the first time, have moved over 500
miles from the location you last used your Foretrex 101 unit, or have not used

lites by leaving it outside with a clear view of the sky for 15 to 30 minutes.
