1. Plug your GPS receiver's RS232 cable directly into the DB9 connector on the
back of the scanner.
2. When the scanner recognizes the GPS input, it displays a confirmation message
and shows the GPS icon on the display.
3. If the GPS receiver does not have a lock on the satellites, the scanner displays
Searching for Satellite .

Troubleshooting

If you can't get the scanner to recognize the GPS receiver:
Check the receiver's baud rate. Most compatible GPS receivers use a baud rate of
4800 bps, but it's possible your receiver is using a non-standard baud rate. Set the
scanner's baud rate to match the GPS receiver's.
Check the receiver's output mode. Some receivers have proprietary signalling
modes that are not NMEA compliant, but you can usually set them to use a
NMEA compliant mode.
If the scanner recognizes the GPS receiver but doesn't lockout systems as you expected:
Make sure the GPS receiver has a lock on the satellites.
Check the location configuration for the sites and channel groups in the system.
