IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES:

Anchor Alarm — The anchor alarm may be triggered even when you are sitting still. Typically, this happens when using small (less than 0.05 mile) anchor alarm ranges.

Arrival Alarm — If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small number (less than 0.05 mile), the unit may not show navigation data to the next waypoint after you arrive at the first one because you may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.

Auto Satellite Search

When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it will not know your position. The unit begins searching for the satellites using the data it acquired the last time it was turned on, probably at the factory. Since it's almost certain that you are not at the factory, it is probably looking for the wrong satellites.

If it doesn't find the satellites it's looking for after approximately one minute, it switches to Auto Search, looking for any satellite in the sky. Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it's turned on, provided you have not moved more than approximately 100 miles from the last location it was used.

GPS Auto Search on the Satellite Status Menu.

You can force the unit to switch to auto search mode.
