Upon startup of the Handheld, the GPS function automatically initiates a fix of the location. This may take
some time. During this process, the Handheld should remain stationary and have a clear view of the sky. The
first time a user powers on the Handheld, the GPS fix can take up to a maximum of 20 minutes to obtain.
