Getting Started the First Time
This section explains how to get started using the Precedus.
Information in this section explains how to startup the unit,
check signals from the GPS satellites, enter a seed position,
assign a destination waypoint, and detach your antenna.
This section shows you how to start the Precedus and check
for proper operation. It is necessary to enter a seed position
and the current time the first time you turn the unit on.
•
Charge the battery before using the Precedus
•
Power on
•
Enter a seed position (your dealer may have already
completed this step for you)
•
Enter the current time
•
Check satellite signal strength
•
Enter a “GOTO” waypoint
•
Begin navigating
Power Up To switch the unit on, press . The
startup screen and database information
shows on the display for several seconds
and then will go into the Navigation
function.
Seed
Position
The first time the Precedus is switched on, it must locate
satellites in the sky to acquire signals before determining a
position fix in a complex process involving lengthy
mathematical operations. Without a seed position and the
current time and date, this process can take 10 minutes or
more to complete. Enter a Seed Position to allow the receiver
to quickly locate and track available satellites.
Note
The seed position and current time only needs to be
entered the first time the receiver is switched on.
This information is stored in memory and need not
be entered again. If you move about three hundred
miles without the Precedus turned on and tracking
its position, reenter the seed position.
