Hints and Trouble-shooting

To ensure proper GPS reception, make sure that your Pocket PC is vertically mounted to your vent clip or windshield (not required if you are using the optional external GPS antenna). Also make sure to properly set the time and date on your Pocket PC.

The first acquisition can take from 5 to 15 minutes, and you can minimize this time by positioning the GPS receiver with a clear view of the sky. Once initialized, the unit should acquire satellite signals in 40 seconds or less.

If your Pocket PC “hangs” (does not respond to screen taps or button pressing), reset it by inserting the stylus in the reset hole on the bottom, back, or side of your Pocket PC.
