Initializing the GPS Receiver
The first time you turn on your unit, the GPS receiver
must collect satellite data and establish its current
location. To receive satellite signals, you should be
outdoors and have a clear view of the sky.
To initialize your GPSM�P 76Cx:
Hold the unit in front of you facing the sky and
observe the Satellite page. While the GPS receiver
is searching for the satellite signals, a “Locating
Satellites” message is replaced by an “Acquiring
Satellites” message until a location fix is made.
