Record the GPS log using the GPS unit

This unit can record your position and time (GPS log files) in the internal memory. When you turn on the power, tracking starts, and GPS log recording starts. The unit tracks the location automatically and records the position every fifteen seconds after tracking starts.

1 Press the (Power) button longer to turn on the unit.

Direct the antenna portion of the unit to the sky in open sky environments and hold it for about a minute until the GPS lamp is in the tracking process.

The GPS lamp status differs as illustrated below depending on the operating status of the unit.

* searching: the unit is searching for the GPS satellites and GPS log recording hasn’t started.

tracking: the unit is tracking and recording the GPS log.

When it is difficult to make tracking and while the GPS lamp is in searching, direct the antenna portion of the unit upward and wait for a while. If the unit cannot track even after waiting for five minutes, you may be in a location where the radio signals from GPS satellites cannot be reached. Try again in open sky environments.
