This usually provides a position fix in 3-5 minutes*. You’ll know you have a fix

when the unit automatically transitions from the satellite status page to the position
page (Figs. 8b-8c). Your receiver is now ready for everyday use!

To turn the unit off:

1. Press and hold the red power key for three seconds (Fig. 8a).

*(The almanac data stored in your GPS’ memory is typically valid for 3-6

months. If your unit has older data, the time required for initialization may take 15
to 30 minutes.)

Check the satellite status page
for 2D or 3D navigation to
verify a position fix.
