Turning On The Gpsmap 196 - Garmin GPSMAP 196 Pilot's Manual

Turning On the GPSMAP 196

The first time you turn on your new GPSMAP 196, the receiver
must collect satellite data and establish its present location. To
ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 196 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 that the antenna is rotated up as shown on
page 1, and it has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky to receive
satellite signals.
To turn on and off the GPSMAP 196:
1. Press and hold the POWER key. When the unit turns on, a
tone sounds and the Warning Page appears.
