series unit begins to collect satellite information. An
"Acquiring" status is displayed on the Satellite Status

appears as "bar graph" readings. This is a good indica-

fix is determined. Following the first-time use of your
500W-series unit, the time required for a position fix
varies — usually within two minutes.
