If a GPS position fix is not made after several minutes:
1. Ensure you are outdoors with a clear view of most of the
sky. Being able to see some sky through the trees is usu-
ally not enough.
2. Use menu option “View Station Counts”. All six record
types should have counts within one of each other. If one
or more types have counts of 0, or double the usual number,
then the Sensor Unit needs to be reset using the “Reset Sta-
tion” button in Station Configuration.
If “Reset Station” doesn’t reset the station:
1. If you have a second generation connector box, watch the
“TX” LED after you click “Reset Station”. It should blink
about once per second as commands are sent to the station.
2. Some PDAs do not have the necessary wire connections to
get the attention of the Sensor Unit. Use the PC program
on a laptop instead.
