GPS OPERATION

■ GPS operation
The ID-51A/E has a built-in internal GPS receiver. You can
check your current position and time.
D GPS receive setting
Check whether or not the GPS receiver is receiving your posi-
tion and time.
The GPS icon blinks when searching for satellites.
➪ ➪
The GPS icon stops blinking when the minimum number of
needed satellites are found.
• It may take only a few seconds to calculate your position. But de-
pending on the environment, it may take a few minutes. If you have
difficulties receiving, we recommend that you try a different loca-
tion.
• When the "GPS Select" item is set to "Manual," the icon does not
appear.
