Initializing the Receiver
The first time you turn on the GPSMAP 192C, the receiver
must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and
establish its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the
GPSMAP 192C is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode.
Before you initialize, make sure the GPSMAP 192C unit and
antenna have been correctly installed on your vessel according to
the instructions in the Appendix. Install the antenna in a location
with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky.
A full-screen GPS Information page is displayed after you press
ENTER to acknowledge the Warning page. The page goes away
after the unit gets a position fix or you press either ENTER
or QUIT. The page can be disabled and enabled on the Main
Menu—Pages tab (see page 63 ).
To turn on the GPSMAP 192C:
1. Press and hold the POWER key until the power tone
sounds, then release the POWER key. The Warning page
appears while the unit conducts a self-test.
2. When the self-test is complete, press ENTER to agree and
acknowledge the warning.
The GPS Information page appears as the receiver begins acquiring
satellites.
To turn off the GPSMAP 192C:
1. Press and hold the POWER key for about 2 seconds, until
the screen is blank.
2. When the screen is blank, release the POWER key.
