the antenna with your hand.

seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection
in a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the device battery.
Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.

Tips on creating a GPS connection

If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the
following:
If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
•
signal.
If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
•
Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna
•
of your device.
If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength
•
may be affected.
Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which
•
may block the satellite signals.
Check satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found, and
whether your device is receiving satellite signals, select
Menu Applications
> >
Satellite status.
If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite
is displayed in the satellite information view. The longer
the bar, the stronger the satellite signal is. When your
device has received enough data from the satellite signal
to calculate the coordinates of your location, the bar
colour changes.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four
satellites to be able to calculate the coordinates of your
location. When the initial calculation has been made, it
may be possible to continue calculating the coordinates of
your location with three satellites. However, the accuracy
is generally better when more satellites are found.
