6 - 2 MC45 User Guide

Operation

Acquiring satellite signals may take several seconds to a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC45
being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals
may be limited or unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC45 does not go into suspend mode. If the MC45
suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS
signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.

GPS Maps on microSD Cards

GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS
navigation software:
Slide the mini-SIM card holder to the right to unlock.

Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS

If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
1.
Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.
2.
NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC45 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software
is muted until you finish the call.

Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle

GPS performance on the MC45 may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which
can block the MC45 from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the MC45
where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC45 and the GPS satellites to
access information from the satellites.
