4 Magellan SporTrak GPS Receiver
The final step in setting up the SporTrak is to initialize the receiver for
first-time use. This will help your SporTrak begin computing your position
in the fastest manner possible.
The reason for initialization is to speed up the process for computing the
first position fix when the SporTrak has no last position computed in
memory (i.e., when the SporTrak is brand new or memory has been
cleared). This gives the SporTrak an approximate indication of where it is
located so it can use its satellite almanac (stored in permanent memory) to
estimate what satellites are overhead and which ones it should be looking
for.
Follow these instructions to initialize the SporTrak.
Tu rning the SporTrak On
Press [PWR]
The SporTrak turns on and displays the start-up screen and a
warning screen.
The first time you use your SporTrak (or if memory has been completely
erased) you will be asked to select the language that you want to use. Use the
UP/DOWN arrows on the keypad to highlight the language you desire.
With the language highlighted, press the ENTER button. You can select
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Finnish, Dutch or
Swedish.
You can change the language at any time by accessing the Languages option
of the Setup Menu. (See Changing Languages in the Reference Section of the
User Manual.)
