4.2.1Initialising the GPS receiver

Fixing the GPS receiver and its connection with your mobile telephone is described in chapter "Connecting the GPS receiver" on page10.

Note: It can take up to 20 minutes to initialise the GPS receiver for the first time.

Each time you switch on the receiver after this the GPS reception will start within half a minute.

If the GPS receiver hasn’t been switched on for over a week, the next initialisation can take up to 10 minutes.

The GPS starts initialises as soon as the GPS receiver is switched on.

If your GPS receiver is connected to the mobile telephone, in the upper right corner of the display you will see the GPS icon. It can show three different states:

Icon	Meaning	Explanation

		satellites. The position can be calculated.

Within 15 seconds the GPS icon changes from No GPS to No
Signal.

As soon as data is being received from at least 3 satellites, the

GPS icon changes to GPS ready.

Note: The first initialisation can take up to 20 minutes.

If the GPS icon shows the status GPS ready after considerably less than 20 minutes, then it is best to switch off the receiver for at least 15 minutes so as to guarantee a reliable operation of the receiver.

Attention: If you have connected the GPS receiver to the power supply via a cigarette lighter, then remove the connector before you leave the vehicle standing for a long period of time.

The GPS receiver needs power constantly so it could run down the vehicle’s battery.

Refer to the GPS receiver user manual for detailed information regarding the functioning and the power supply of the GPS receiver.
