takes long to be
ready to use
The GPS receiver has a battery which maintains saving data
collected during the initialisation process.
Once the initialisation has been executed successfully, there is
two modes of starting the GPS receiver up:
Mode 1 takes about 5 to 6 minutes. The GPS receiver has
not been used for at least one week.
Mode 2 takes about 1 to 2 minutes. The GPS receiver has
been used almost daily.
