5.Unable to Get a GPS Fix

If you can’t get a GPS signal after setting up your receiver, ensure that your Bluetooth GPS receiver is switched on, charged up, and has a clear view of the sky. It may take up to 15 minutes to get a GPS fix the first time you use the device. To decrease the time it takes to acquire a GPS Fix, please remain in a stationary position. To avoid unnecessary delays, make sure that your Pocket PC date and time are properly set.
