GPS receiver
The GPS receiver is located in the bottom of the device.
When using the receiver, slide the numeric keypad
open, and from an upright position, move the device
to an angle of about 45 degrees, with an unobstructed
view of the sky. Do not cover the numeric keypad with
your hand.
Establishing a GPS
connection may take
from a couple of seconds
to several minutes.
Establishing a GPS
connection in the car may
take longer.
The GPS receiver draws
its power from the device
battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery
faster.

●
Ensure that your

cover the GPS
antenna of your

●
conditions are
bad, the signal

If the power saver turns on while the device is
●
