42 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF NAVIGATOR USE: FIRST STEPS
Turning the GPS receiver on or off
You need to turn on the GPS receiver to make po-
sition determination possible. Once activated, the
receiver will calculate your position at given inter-
vals.
To keep power consumption as low as possible, it
is advisable to turn the GPS receiver off when no
GPS features are being used.
1. In stand-by mode or on any of the navigator
pages, press

. Note that all the GPS modes de-
scribed below are not available in all phone
models.
•
Off
. No satellites are tracked; your position
is not calculated.
•
Full power
. The GPS receiver monitors the
satellites constantly, calculating your posi-
tion at short intervals. Using this mode
consumes more power than the other
modes but it has the best accuracy and it
works even in limited satellite coverage.
•
Low power
. Satellites are tracked at slightly
longer intervals. While this mode has the
lowest power consumption, it may not be
reliable in limited satellite coverage.
•
Economy
: Tracking satellites is adapted to
the present circumstances. This mode
uses no fixed interval for tracking satel-
lites; tracking is optimized according to
the power consumption.
•
At intervals
: You can select the interval,
which determines the frequency for the
GPS receiver to search for position. Select
the time and confirm it by pressing
-
OK
.
4. Press

GETTING FIRST GPS POSITION
The GPS receiver normally stores the last known
position and satellite data so as to help reacquisi-
tion of position after loss of satellite signals or
power down. When the GPS receiver is used for the
first time, it has no previous position information
and position acquisition takes longer.
