Initializing Your GPS II
+
To initialize the GPS II
+
, take the receiver outside and find an open area where
the antenna has a clear view of the sky. You may either hold the receiver at a com-
fortable height with the external antenna pointing up (Fig. 7a), or mount the receiv-
er on the dash of a vehicle (Appendix A) or on a bike. (Likewise, when you use your
GPS II
+
in a vehicle, make sure the antenna is pointing up.)
To turn the GPS II
+
on, press and hold the red power key.
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. You’ll
see the EZ
init
prompt, which asks you to choose an initialization method. Note: If
the EZ
init
prompt has not automatically appeared, press ENTER.
To initialize your unit:
1. Press ENTER (Fig. 7b). (The word ‘COUNTRY’ in the first prompt will already be high-
lighted.)
2. Use the rocker keypad to scroll up or down through the list of countries to select your
country/state/region. If the country you’re in isn’t listed, select the closest country to
your present position, and press ENTER.
