INITIALIZING THE RECEIVER (cont.)
The first time you power up your new GPSMAP 195 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 195 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 procedure described below, which will usually provide a
position fix in about a minute.
To turn the GPSMAP 195 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 aviator’s warning will appear,
asking you to read and acknowledge important information regarding
the proper use of electronic charts. The aviator’s warning also
displays the effective date of the internal Jeppesen NavData®.
To acknowledge the aviator’s warning:
1. Press the
J
key.
A message alert and prompt will now 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.
The select initialization window will appear, with the ‘select from
map’ option highlighted.
To initialize your present position graphically:
1. Press
T
to initialize the receiver from the built-in worldwide map.
The map page will appear, prompting you to select your approximate
present position with the map cursor.
2. Use the
R
keypad to move the map cursor to a location close to
your present position. If you have difficulty identifying your approxi-
mate position, use the down arrow of the
A
key to zoom in to a
lower map scale.
3. Press
T
to confirm your selection.
