Turning on the GPSMAP 76

page is displayed, followed by the Information and

Warning pages. Acknowledge each of these pages by

pressing the PAGE key. The GPS Information page

is now displayed. The unit must now collect satellite

data and establish its present position. To ensure proper

initialization, the GPSMAP 76 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 the antenna

has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky to receive

satellite signals.

PAGe. You will now see the Satellite

Information page.

POWeR key again.
