Lowrance GlobalMap Sport Installation And Operation Instructions Manual page 12

To use your GlobalMap Sport™, first take it outside, away from trees and
buildings. You need a clear view of the sky.
Open the antenna and adjust it so that it is
parallel with the ground. Press the PWR
key. Read the message on the screen,
then press the EXIT key to erase the mes-
sage. A screen similar to the one at right
appears.
This is the Satellite Information screen. It
shows the fix quality, the satellites that are
currently in view from your position, and
the status of each of the five receiver chan-
nels. For more information on this screen,
see the satellite information section on page 20.
You can watch the GlobalMap Sport™ find the satellites on this screen, or
you can switch to any other screen (press the MODE key to switch screens)
while it's searching.
If you switch to another screen, you'll see numbers flashing on the display.
Anytime you see flashing numbers, it means the GlobalMap Sport™ does
not have a position! Do not rely on any data that is flashing! When the
numbers stop flashing, the unit has locked on to the satellites and the
position is good.
That's all you have to do to find your position. The time display may not be
correct when the cold start method is used. See the initialization section
for details on changing the time.
Finding Your Position
Initialization
A cold-start as described above can take
up to 15 minutes to find your position. A
faster method is to initialize the GlobalMap
Sport™ manually. To do this, first press the
PWR key. Next, read the message on the
screen and press the EXIT key to erase it.
Now press the MENU key. A screen simi-
lar to the one at right appears.
