GPS to start, as it has no reference to its current location. This may also happen if the
GPS has not been used for a long time.
Please activate your new Suunto M9i GPS at least once before sailing out. Subsequent
GPS starts will take less time. To minimize the GPS initiation time, hold the unit steady in
one position with the display facing up and make sure you are located in an open area
so that the unit has a clear view to the sky. After starting the GPS (i.e. after it has a fix),
the unit can be moved more freely without losing the connection to the satellites. The
signal strength bar on the unit's display indicates the fix. (See section 2.1.4, GPS
Activity and Accuracy Bar Display)
