Canon GPS RECEIVER GP-E2 - Manual (Page 46)

12
To acquire GPS signals, bring the receiver outdoors where the sky is
unobstructed and aim it up. Keep your hand or other objects off the top
of the receiver.
Turn the power switch to <ON> or <LOG>
to start automatic GPS signal acquisition.
To check the acquisition status, watch
the blinking of the red <GPS> indicator.
Fast blinking:
Signal not acquired yet
Slow blinking:
Signal acquired
The receiver blinks every 3 seconds or every 6 seconds. In 6-second
blinking mode, although it blinks every 6 seconds as needed to
conserve battery power, the GPS functions are the same as usual
3-second blinking mode.
When the receiver is attached or connected to a camera that displays
the [GPS device settings] menu item, GPS signal status is also shown
on the camera LCD panel or LCD monitor (p.14).
