Hardware Setup

WARNING: Never leave your GPS receiver in a closed vehicle that exceeds 140 o F.
Excessive heat may damage it.
See page 21 to set up a USB receiver. See page 22 to set up a Serial receiver. (Although
the USB and Serial instructions are specific to CoPilot receivers, connecting third-party
receivers should be very similar.) For Bluetooth receiver setup see p. 21, or for more
details refer to the GPS Receiver Guide that came with your product.
The GPS unit should be placed far forward on the dashboard of your vehicle to maximize
the satellite reception area. The GPS receiver works like a radio antenna, so place it at least
two feet away from possible sources of interference (for instance, a cellular phone antenna).
The first time you use it, your receiver can take up to 15 minutes to acquire a satellite fix.
After you use it once, the receiver should initialize within a few minutes.
