Turning The Gps V On/Off - Garmin GPS V Personal Navigator Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

Turning the GPS V On (and Off)
Before turning the GPS V on, fi nd a suitable location for its use. If you are operating
the GPS V indoors, with the "Use Indoors" option, location is not critical. However,
during actual navigation use the GPS V should be outside—or on the dashboard of your
car—where the detachable antenna has a clear view of the sky. Rotate the antenna so it
is pointing upward, perpendicular to the ground.
To turn the GPS V on, press and hold the red power key.
The Welcome Page will appear while the unit conducts a self-test. Once testing is
complete, the Welcome Page is replaced by a MapSource Information Page. This page
lists any maps currently loading in the GPS V' s memory. The MapSource Information
Page appears briefl y and is replaced by a Warning Page, then the Satellite Status
Page. (You may press ENTER to move quickly past the MapSource Information and/or
Warning Pages.)
Once a suffi cient number of satellites have been located, "Ready to Navigate" will
appear at the top of the Satellite Status Page. If no keys have been pressed during the
power-up process, the GPS V will automatically sequence from the Satellite Status Page
to the Map Page and show your current position.
To turn the GPS V off, press and hold the red power key.
