What can I do if the receiver will not
turn on?
1. Check to see if the batteries are installed
correctly.
2. Replace with two new AA alkaline or lithium
batteries.

Can I use rechargable batteries in my
receiver?
Yes. However, the battery life of your receiver will
be diminished
as well as the possibility of an incorrect reading on
the battery life gauge with the use of rechargeable
batteries.

What can be done if my GPS 315/320
takes a long time to get a position fix?
1. If there are any obstacles nearby or overhead,
move to a new location.
2. Make sure that the antenna is pointing up, has
a clear view of the
sky, and is a reasonable distance away from your
body.
3. Check satellite satus to see where the satellites
are and if the receiver is acquiring data.
4. If the receiver still does not get a position fix
within 10 minutes,
you may wish to repeat the initialization procedure
or you can do clear memory.
5.To clear memory press Menu, select Setup and
then select clear memory and select all:NOTE:
this will erase all user waypoint/route data

Why is the time and date incorrect
after I replace the batteries?
If the batteries are removed for 20 minutes or
more, the receiver
will lose the time and date. The receiver will
collect time and
date soon after tracking a satellite.

Why won’t my GPS 315/320accept the
coordinates I am inputting?
The most common cause is that you are trying to
enter coordinates
that are in degrees/minutes while your receiver is
set to
Degrees/minutes/seconds. Because the last two
digits in degrees/
minutes are in hundredths (00-99) and
degrees/minutes/seconds
can be no higher than 59 (00-59), inputting a
number higher
than 59 while in deg/min/sec results in an error
and the receiver
does not accept the entry.

You say my GPS 315/320should work
up to 15 hours on two batteries, but
why doesn’t
mine last that long?
There can be two reasons. The first, and most
common reason
is that you have the display backlight on. The light
increases the
drain on the batteries causing the decrease in
battery life. The
second reason is that you are using NiCad
batteries. As mentioned,
while your receiver will operate on NiCad
batteries, the
battery life is diminished.
