Cold Start - Furuno GP-3500F Operator's Manual

Cold Start

Cold start is automatically executed at initial power application or when the GPS
memory is cleared. This is done to acquire the Almanac to receive a GPS
satellite. You can also do the cold start manually when the Almanac is too old to
acquire a satellite; for example, when the equipment has not been used for one
year or more. Manually cold starting the receiver erases the existing Almanac to
receive the current one.
