Initialization Options
If the GPS 72 is unable to determine its location, an options menu will be displayed.
Depending on the situation, select an option to help the unit acquire satellites. To select an
option, place the highlight over the option then press ENTER.
Start Simulator — The Simulator can be used when you are indoors and the GPS is
unable to locate satellites. When you select ‘Simulator’, the GPS receiver is turned off
saving battery power.
New Location — If you have moved the unit to another state, province, or country, and
you are having trouble locking onto satellite signals select ‘New Location’.
When you select ‘New Location’, another menu will be displayed. This menu contains
the options ‘Automatic’ or ‘Use Map’. If you select ‘Automatic’ the unit will switch to
the AutoLocate mode and begin searching for satellites. If you select ‘Use Map’ you can
use the Pointer on the Map Page to select your approximate location and the unit will
continue to acquire satellites normally. ‘Automatic’ may take longer to acquire satellites.
Stored w/o Batteries — If you have stored the unit without batteries the date stored in
the GPS may be incorrect. To check the date, highlight ‘Stored w/o Batteries’ and verify
the date displayed. If the date is incorrect, select ‘Stored w/o Batteries’ to search for
satellites.
Continue Acquiring — Select this option if you are in an area where the satellite signals
are being temporarily blocked.
