2. Preparing for First-Time Use

The first thing you have to do after you have turned on the re-
ceiver is to take it to a location where there is clear view of the
sky. GPS satellites are 12,000 miles in space and the signal
is not strong enough to pass through buildings, car roofs,
dense tree cover, etc. The first time a new GPS receiver is
turned on, it might have difficulty calculating its position. To
help the receiver calculate its first position, you should "ini-
tialize" it. You only have to do this when:
- The receiver is brand new
- You have moved more than 500 miles from the last place
you were using it
- Memory has been completely erased
- Or the receiver has not been used for more than a few
months.
To initialize the receiver, press the MENU button on the right
side of the keypad. You will see a number of options. We will
discuss these a little later, but first use the scrolling button in
the center of the receiver's face to highlight the Setup option.
When it is highlighted, press the ENTER button.
