SporTrak Color GPS Mapping Receiver
Selecting Language
The first time you use your SporTrak (or if memory has been completely erased)
you will be asked to select the language that you want to use. Use the UP/DOWN
arrows on the keypad to highlight the language you desire. With the language
highlighted, press the ENTER button. You can select English, French, German,
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Finnish, Dutch or Swedish.
You can change the language at any time by accessing the Languages option of the
Setup Menu. (See Changing Languages in the Reference Section of the User
Manual.)
Initialization for First Time Use
The final step in setting up the SporTrak is to initialize the receiver for first-time
use. This will help your SporTrak begin computing your position in the fastest
manner possible.
The reason for initialization is to speed up the process for computing the first
position fix when the SporTrak has no last position computed in memory (i.e.,
when the SporTrak is brand new or memory has been cleared). This gives the
SporTrak an approximate indication of where it is located so it can use its satellite
almanac (stored in permanent memory) to estimate what satellites are overhead and
which ones it should be looking for.
Follow these instructions to initialize the SporTrak.
Turning the SporTrak On
Press [POWER]
The SporTrak turns on and displays the start-up screen
and a warning screen.
