Using the eXplorist for the First Time
Turn the eXplorist on.
Press the Power button. When the
Startup
screen is displayed, press
ENTER.
Select Language.
When you turn on the eXplorist for the first time,
you are given the option of selecting one of the ten languages that
will be used.
You can change the language selection at any time by accessing
Menu > Preferences > Languages.
Tip:
If you accidentally change the language but you can’t read
the text and need to change it back, press the NAV button until
the Satellite Status screen is displayed. Press MENU. Use the
Arrow joystick to highlight the fourth line and press ENTER. Use
the Arrow joystick to highlight the fifth line and press ENTER.
The
Language Select
screen will be displayed.
Read Warning.
When you agree to the warning statement, press
ENTER to continue.
Compute Initial Position.
For this operation, it is best if you are outside and have a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, this will take much longer and could
result in the eXplorist being unable to compute the initial position
automatically.
The eXplorist begins to compute your initial position. This may take a
few minutes while it is doing a
cold start
.
Normally, when you first turn the eXplorist on it will compute your
position in a matter of seconds as it is able to do a
warm start
. (An
explanation of
cold start
vs.
warm start
is provided following this
section.)
The
Satellite Status
screen is displayed, showing you the progress
of the collection of satellite data.
