Initializing the Receiver

The GPS Receiver must be initialized (given an opportunity to

determine its location) before you can begin using it for navigation.
Before it can receive signals from GPS satellites overhead, you must turn
the receiver on. This can be accomplished by deploying the antenna on
the back of the iQue
order to receive satellite signals, you must have a clear view of the sky.
Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or
dense overhead tree cover. When the unit initializes for the first time it
may take as long as 15 minutes. This time can be shortened by using the
map to point to the general area in which you are currently located (see
page 6). Anytime you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS
receiver turned off, the iQue handheld must again find its location by
re-initializing.

Using QueGPS

QueGPS is an information type application that displays the
current status of satellite reception by showing the location and
numbers of the satellites in the sky overhead. A signal strength bar
at the bottom of the page shows the signal strength of each satel­lite being received.

Use QueGPS to:

• Observe the status of GPS satellite signal reception.

• View the current date and time.

• Determine your current location coordinates and their accuracy.

• Determine your current speed.

• Determine your approximate elevation (altitude above mean sea

™

handheld by rotating it up to the On position. In

level).

iQue™3600

To view the QueGPS Application Satellite Status Page:

1. Tap the HOME icon to display the applications launcher, then tap the
QueGPS icon.

2.

Or, s

imply tap the GPS Status Area in the center of the Applications

Status Bar.

At the top of the Satellite Status Page is a message containing the status
of the GPS receiver and a sky view array on the left side represent­ing the position of satellites in the sky overhead with your position
in the center of the two circles. The outer circle indicates the horizon

o

while the inner circle a position 45

from the horizon. The numbers

displayed indicate the number assigned to those satellites.

A bar graph at the bottom of the page displays the strength of signals
being received from each satellite. An “Acquiring Satellites” message
is displayed until at least three satellites with sufficient signal strength
have been received. When the GPS receiver has determined its loca­tion, a “2D” message appears and your location coordinates display at
the top of the left hand column.

On the right, the date and time displays, and if you are moving, your
current speed displays as well.

When you have sufficient signals from four or more satellites, a “3D
GPS Location” message appears and the approximate elevation also
displays at the bottom of the column.

The accuracy of your current position displays at the bottom of

the list. All of this information continues to update as you navi

gate.

The GPS Receiver Status: On, Off or Acquiring Satellites

The GPS Receiver can be in three states, On, Off, or Acquiring for
enough satellite signals to determine its location.

To determine the GPS Status at a glance:

1. Observe the small color window at the center of your handheld
status bar.

2. When GPS is On and searching for satellite signals, the window will
appear as shown in the top left illustration.

3. When enough satellite signals are being received to establish a loca­ tion fi x, the window will appear as shown in the middle left illustra­ tion.

4. When the Antenna is closed and the GPS is Off, the window will
display a sky with no satellites.

It is IMPORTANT to remember that whenever the antenna is not in

the fully closed position, that the GPS receiver is operating.

The GPS receiver can, from time to time, lose satellite signals due
to interference from tree cover, buildings, etc., so monitoring the GPS
Status Window from time to time is recommended. If you don’t want
the GPS Receiver On, and particularly when indoors, keep the antenna
closed!

You can tap the Satellite Status window at any time to display the

QueGPS application and view satellite status in detai

To use QueGPS Preferences:

1. Tap the Preferences option to display the GPS Preferences Menu.

2. Observe the list of options with check boxes:

• Tap WAAS Enabled to enable the Wide Area Augmentation
System operating mode. (See Additional Information about WAAS
on page 53.)

• Tap Battery Saver to change the rate at which the GPS receiver
updates your position data to conserve battery power. The GPS
receiver slows the frequency at which it calculates your location
and therefore requires less battery power with the result being a
slight loss in position accuracy. The GPS is turned completely Off
when the antenna is fully closed.

You cannot operate in the WAAS and Battery Saver modes
at the same time. If you attempt to check both boxes, a message
will display and the last option checked will remain on after you
