Important! If this is the first time you are turning on your GPS, you will be required to follow the initialization procedure outlined in
par. 5.2.
5.2 Initialization of GPS receiver
As well as all GPS receivers, also MAP 600 has to automatically establish its position the first time it is turned on. This
operation is called
initialization , and MAP 600 must perform this procedure every time you travel a long distance (more
than 500 km) keeping the receiver turned off, or when the receiver has not been used for more than one month.
The first time you use your MAP 600, this procedure will take a few minutes. Afterwards, this will be no more necessary
as the device is able to locate its current position faster. For the following uses, you will need only to turn on the GPS, as
described in par. 5.2.a, and wait for its position survey, as described in par.5.2.c.
This procedure consists of three steps that have to be executed with the following order:
•
Positioning and first start up
•
Initialization
•
Establishing of position
5.2.a Positioning and first start up
To initialize your receiver, please proceed as follows:
Find a place outdoors, which has a wide view of the sky and with as few obstacles (buildings, radio
towers, plants, etc.) as possible. Adjust your GPS so it is facing upwards and at a 45-degrees angle
from the ground.
Hold down the
button for at least two seconds: a welcome page (screen) with various
information, including the version of the installed map will appear briefly. Then, a warning screen appears
and you will be requested to press the button to confirm:
Press the button to accept and turn on the receiver. The Satellite page will be displayed (described further along):

Warning screen at step 2 means: “ ATTENTION! All the data in MAP600 are provided only as reference. The user assumes the
complete responsibility and all the risks originating from the use of this device. Press the button to accept ”.

At step 3 if you do not press the button within one minute, the device will automatically turn off.
