Initializing the GPS receiver
Initialization of the
GPS receiver
The initialization process of the GPS receiver starts automatically.
Within 15 seconds the color of the GPS icon in OnCourse
Navigator changes from red (No GPS signal) to orange (GPS
signals insufficient). The number on the GPS icon indicates the
number of satellites from which signals are being received. When
the signals of more than 3 satellites are being received, the GPS
icon becomes green (GPS ready). This process may take about
20 minutes. When the GPS icon becomes green 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 initialization process is finished when the reception of more
than 3 satellites is indicated after about 20 seconds.
Notice: This initialization process must be carried out only once.
The other times, the GPS receiver will be ready within about one
minute.
Notice: 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.
Notice: A new initialization may become necessary when the
GPS receiver has not been in use. In this case, the initialization
process would take about 10 minutes.
Attention: 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.
