Step 2: Study the icons
Upon power on you will first recognize
the "Number of visible Satellites"
icon, indicating the number of
satellites which are theoretically
visible at the current location and
time. Usually this number varies
between 4 and 10, depending on the
satellite geometry.
Next to this symbol you find the
"Number of Satellites used on L1 /
L2" icon, indicating the number of
satellites currently tracked either on
L1 or on L2.
Upon power on you will read L1: 0,
L2: 0. It will take about 30 seconds
until these number will start changing
and very soon reach the number of
visible satellites.
Both "Number of visible satellites"
and "Number of satellites used" icons
will change from time to time, re-
flecting changes in the satellite
geometry due to either the rise of
new satellites or the setting of de-
scending satellites.

Turn on the sensor by pressing the
ON-button on the terminal. One of
the following two screens will appear
on the display:
Most important at this stage is the top
part of the screen which contains
several symbols (icons) which
indicate the current system status.
