The GPS Receiver Status: On, Off or Acquiring Satellites
The GPS Receiver can be in three states, On, Off, or Acquiring for
enough satellite signals to determine its location.
To determine the GPS Status at a glance:
1. Observe the small color window at the center of your handheld
status bar.
2. When GPS is On and searching for satellite signals, the window will
appear as shown in the top left illustration.
3. When enough satellite signals are being received to establish a loca-
tion fi x, the window will appear as shown in the middle left illustra-
tion.
4. When the Antenna is closed and the GPS is Off, the window will
display a sky with no satellites.
It is IMPORTANT to remember that whenever the antenna is not in
the fully closed position, that the GPS receiver is operating.
The GPS receiver can, from time to time, lose satellite signals due
to interference from tree cover, buildings, etc., so monitoring the GPS
Status Window from time to time is recommended. If you don’t want
the GPS Receiver On, and particularly when indoors, keep the antenna
closed!
You can tap the Satellite Status window at any time to display the
