3. In the Hardware tab, the GPS hardware port is set to None.

Operation

Acquiring satellite signals may take several seconds to a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC65
being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS
signals may be limited or unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC65 does not go into suspend mode. If the MC65
suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid
GPS signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.

GPS Maps on microSD Cards

GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS
navigation software install the microSD memory card using procedure in
1-2.

Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS

If receiving an incoming phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
1.
Once the phone call ends, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.
2.
NOTE Anytime using GPS on the MC65 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software is
muted until you finish the call.

Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle

GPS performance on the MC65 may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields,
which can block the MC65 from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place
the MC65 where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC65 and the
GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.

Assisted GPS

GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads
data from GPS satellites. In certain environments, it can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS
Location servers, A-GPS dramatically reduces the TTFF (Time To First Fix) and improves the sensitivity of
GPS receivers by providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS
satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.
The GPS Assist application provides the ability to modify the settings associated with obtaining GPS data.
