[. . . ] Since it's almost certain that you're not at our factory, it's probably looking for the wrong satellites. If it doesn't find the satellites it's looking for after five minutes, it switches to Auto Search. The receiver looks for any satellite in the sky. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk to about five minutes, so the longest time you should ever have to wait is ten minutes from the time you turn the unit on until it locks onto the satellites and shows a position. 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 approximately 100 miles from the last location it was used. The Auto Search function can be started at any time. Press the MENU key twice, then select "GPS Auto Search". A new menu appears, "Perform GPS AutoSearch". Highlight "Yes" and press the ENT key. The menus disappear and the unit will begin the auto search. Manual Initialization If you don't want to wait for the Auto Search, then you may be able to speed up the initialization process by using the manual initialization feature. Using this feature tells the unit it's approximate position. Once it knows it's location, it determines exactly which satellites should be in view and starts looking only for those satellites. To manually initialize the unit, press the PAGES key. Using the arrow keys, select "Status" . A screen similar to the one below right appears. Use the arrow keys to move the crosshairs to your approximate location on the map. You can use the ZIN and ZOUT keys to enlarge the map which makes it easier and faster to find your location. The box at the bottom of the screen shows the latitude and longitude of the cursor position. A box pops up on the screen, showing the name of the nearest highway (if a MMC with a map is installed) along with the distance and bearing from the last known position. Once you have the crosshairs on your location, press the ENT key. The unit returns to the satellite status screen.
