IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES: Anchor Alarm -- The anchor alarm may be triggered even when you're sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than 0. 05 mile) anchor alarm ranges. Arrival Alarm -- If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small number and run a route (see the Navigate Routes segment), this unit may not show navigation data to the next waypoint once you arrive at the first waypoint. You may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm. Auto Satellite Search To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know its current position, UTC time and date. It needs this data so it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for only those satellites. Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equation, but it's rarely required to determine a position. When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn't know your position or elevation (altitude). It does know the current UTC time and date since these were programmed into it at the factory and an internal clock keeps the time while the unit is turned off (If the time and/or date are incorrect, you can set it using the "Set Local Time" feature in the System Setup menu. ). The unit begins searching for satellites using the data it acquired the last time it was turned on, which was probably at the factory. Since it's almost certain that you're not at our factory, it's likely that it could be looking for the wrong satellites. If it doesn't find the satellites it's looking for after approximately one minute, it switches to Auto Search. That's when the receiver looks for any satellite in the sky. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk significantly from the early days of GPS. Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it's turned on, provided you haven't moved more than 100 miles from the last location it was used. 74 GPS Auto Search on the GlobalMap Satellite Status Menu.
