GETTING STARTED
Initialization
The first time you power up your new GPSMAP 175 is an important step
in getting the best possible GPS performance. The receiver must be given an
opportunity to collect satellite data and establish its present position. To
ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 175 is shipped from the factory in
AutoLocate mode, which will allow the receiver to ‘find itself’ anywhere in the
world. To speed up the initialization process, we recommend using the
graphic initialization process described below, which will usually provide a
position fix in about a minute.
Before you initialize, make sure the GPSMAP 175 unit and antenna have
been correctly installed on your vessel according to the instructions in
Appendix A and B.
To turn the GPSMAP 175 on:
1. Press and hold the P key until the power tone sounds.
The welcome page will appear while the unit conducts a self test. Once the
internal test is complete, the mariner’s warning will appear, asking you to read
and acknowledge important information regarding the proper use of
electronic charts.
To acknowledge the mariner’s warning:
1. Press the T key.
A message alert and prompt will also appear to ask you to select an
initialization method.
To view a system message:
1. Press the J key.
2. Press the J key again to return to the previous page.
