receiving satellite signals, you will be prompted to
answer some questions. Please follow the steps that best

ARE YOU INDOORS NOW?' will appear. Press the
UP or DOWN Button and highlight 'YES'. Press
ENTER. The message will disappear.
OR:
2. Go outside. The eTrex will keep tracking.
1. The message 'TROUBLE TRACKING SATELLITES.
ARE YOU INDOORS NOW?' will appear. Press the
UP or DOWN Button and highlight 'NO'. Press
ENTER.
2. eTrex then asks: 'HAVE YOU MOVED HUNDREDS
OF MILES/KM SINCE LAST USE?' Press the UP or
DOWN button and highlight 'NO'. Press ENTER.
3. eTrex asks: 'IS TODAY dd-mmm-yy?' If you answer
'YES' (the date matches the current date) the
eTrex will continue tracking satellites and switch
to the Satellite Page.
4. If you answer NO (the date is incorrect), the eTrex
will do an 'AUTOLOCATE' and switch to the
satellite page.
