Turning On the GPSMAP 495
The first time you turn on your new GPSMAP 495, the receiver
must collect satellite data and establish its present location. To
ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 495 is shipped from the
factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to “find
itself” anywhere in the world. Before you turn on the unit to start
initialization, be sure that the antenna is rotated up as shown on
page 1 , and it has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky to receive
satellite signals.
To turn the GPSMAP 495 on and off:
1. Press and hold the POWER key. When the unit turns on, a tone
sounds and the Warning Page appears.
