Operation and Reference
Step 7: Initialize the Receiver
It is a good practice to initialize the receiver prior to operating it for the first
time. A receiver initialization (also called a memory reset) will clear the
internal memory, reset the user settings to their default values, clear
ephemeris and almanac information in memory, and reformat the SD card. A
receiver can be initialized from either the front panel LED display or the Power
button.
Receiver initialization using the Front Panel User Interface:
When using the front panel to initialize the receiver, parameters will be reset
to default values, ephemeris and almanac information will be cleared, but the
SD card will not be reformatted.
1. Press the UP arrow button (
G
) until the submenu SETTINGS is seen on the
display.
2. Press the Enter button (
) to enter the SETTINGS submenu.
3. Press the UP arrow button (
G
) until the function MEMORY RESET is seen
on the display.
4. Press the Enter button (
) to initiate a Memory Reset (initialization). The
query "Reset memory?" will be displayed on the screen. Press the ENTER
button again to confirm or CANCEL to cancel.
CAUTION
It is important to power off the receiver using the Power key on the Front Panel before
removing the SD card.
