Signal Reception - Dell Axim X3i Owner's Manual

• UTC Time shows Universal date and time (Greenwich Mean Time).
• Location shows your current position and speed using latitude,
longitude, and altitude. Satellite indicates how many satellites you are
receiving signals from and how many satellites are potentially available
based on the orbit of the satellites.
• Local Time shows the time at your current location.
• NMEA shows incoming satellite data, which is shown graphically
below.
• The graphic to the left shows the position of all reporting satellites
relative to your current position.
• The bar graph to the right shows the strength of the satellite signals.
Each bar represents a single satellite. White bars indicate signals are
being received, but no position fix (minimum of three satellites) has
been made. Green bars indicate strong signals. Red bars indicate weak
or bad signals.

Signal Reception

Once the Receiver and the Pocket PC are partnered, you receive satellite
signals. Based on satellite position and your geographic location, you may
experience the following:
• Satellite signals are received more quickly at specific times of the day.
For example, at 10:00 a.m., you might receive signals in under a
minute because more satellites are visible in the sky. At 3:00 p.m., you
may not receive signals because only two satellites are visible in the sky
