SOLUTION
1. Be sure battery has been fully charged before use.
Avoid excessive use of the backlight, which may
shorten battery life.
2. Press power button until LCD comes on
1. Make sure GPS is turned ON in the SET Page.
The center circle of the SAT page should be circling.
If not, turn GPS ON in the SET page.
2. After the unit has been off for an extended time it
may take longer for it to acquire GPS satellites. Check
the SAT page for progress.
3. For fastest acquisition times make sure the unit has
a clear view of the sky. Avoid areas of heavy brush and
areas next to large buildings or cliffs. Keep unit out of
backpacks and concealed areas in order to maintain
consistent GPS signals. Try holding the unit further
away from your body.
1. If holding the power button for 2 sec. has no
effect, reset the unit by removing the battery pack
(and power cord if attached), then reattach it. Check
website for latest software update (your software
version # is found in the "Unit Info" on SET page).
1. When downloading information from the PC
program or Web, please wait until the download has
been completed. Disconnecting the unit prior to
completion of download will result in incomplete data
download and loss of data.
2. After a download, the unit must be powered off and
then powered back on for it to recognize the data.
