application can be used to perform this initialization, but it is best if
the application has some sort of GPS status display. Pocket PC
users will find the included GPSInfo command perfect for this task.
The following steps can be used:
1. Be sure the computer battery is fully charged.
2. Take the assembled unit outside and select a location with a
good sky view.
3. Run the application and select the GPS receiver.
4. The lamp on the left side of the receiver will light whenever
power is applied to the unit. It will immediately attempt to
acquire satellite signals.
5. Observe the display in the application to determine if the
receiver is able to communicate to the application and is
able to see some satellites.
6. Wait! A receiver in a totally new location can take 5 to 10
minutes to determine its first location. In some cases it could
even take longer.
7. When a location fix has been obtained the lamp on the
receiver will begin to flash and the application should report
that that the position has been obtained.
8. The unit is now ready and can be used as desired.
Tips
Do not cover the internal antenna with anything. The GPS signals
are easily blocked.
