Initialisation of the
GPS receiver
The initialisation process of the GPS receiver starts automatically.
Within 15 seconds, the GPS-icon on your Pocket PC switches from
No GPS to No signal.
As soon as the signals of more than 3 satellites are being
received, the GPS-icon switches to GPS ready.
No GPS
No signal
GPS ready
This procedure may take about 20 minutes. When the GPS icon
becomes GPS ready earlier, it would be good to leave the GPS
receiver turned on for about 15 more minutes in order to grant
its correct operation.
The initialisation process is finished when the reception of more
than 3 satellites is assured after about 20 seconds.
Note: This initialisation process must be carried out only once.
The other times, the GPS receiver will be ready within about one
minute.
Note: When the GPS receiver is connected to the power supply
for the first time, leave it connected for about 2 hours in order to
charge its battery.
Note: A new initialisation may become necessary when the GPS
receiver has not been in use. In this case, the initialisation
process would take about 10 minutes.
Caution: Disconnect the receiver from the power supply when
you are leaving the car parked for a longer period. Failure to do
so might result in a flat battery as the receiver consumes
electricity permanently.
For details on the operation of your GPS receiver, please refer to
"Command buttons", page 24.
