Initializing for First-Time Use

The GPS 126/128 typically acquires a position so

fast that initialization is automatic. However, initializa-
tion will be necessary for the following: 

• After memory loss
• When the receiver has been moved more than

500 miles with the power off

Additionally, it may be necessary to initialize the

unit the first time you use it, if it does not acquire a fix
in a few minutes.

The receiver is shipped from the factory in

AutoLocate™ mode, which enables the GPS 126/128 to
determine its location anywhere in the world. To speed
up the initialization process, we recommend using the
graphic initialization described below.

To turn the GPS 126/128 on:

1. Press and hold 

P

until the receiver turns on.

The welcome page will be displayed while the unit

conducts a self test.

Once testing is complete, the welcome page will be

replaced by the Satellite Page, with the EZinit prompt
ready for you to select one of two initialization
methods:

Select Country

––allows you to initialize the

receiver by selecting your present position from a
list of countries in the GPS 126/128’s internal data-
base. This may speed up the initialization process.

Autolocate

TM

––allows the GPS 126/128 to initial-

ize itself and calculate a position fix without know-
ing your present position. This usually provides a
position fix in 3-5 minutes.

If the EZinit prompt has not automatically
appeared on the Satellite Page:

1. Press the 

F

key.

Note: If the EZinit prompt ever appears after you

have initialized the receiver (due to the antennas view
of satellites being obstructed by trees, etc.), highlight
the ‘no re-init’ selection with the arrow keypad and
press 

F

.

Initialization

APPENDIX A

Welcome Page

The EZinit prompt will
automatically appear if
the receiver needs to be
initialized. The prompt
may also appear during
normal use if the antenna
is shaded.
