GETTING STARTED > OPENING THE GPS ANTENNA

GETTING STARTED

To begin using your iQue M5, open the GPS antenna and acquire satellite signals. After that, follow the Getting Started Tutorial on page 4 to start navigating immediately.

Opening the GPS Antenna

The GPS antenna opens from the back of the iQue M5 and clicks into four different positions (each position is called a detent). For best results, position the antenna so that it is parallel to the horizon and so that it clicks into place. Do not try to position the antenna “between” detents.
To open the GPS antenna:
1. Turn on the iQue M5 by pressing the Power button, located above the screen.
Power button
2. Press down on the antenna release, located on the back of the iQue M5.
3. Gently pull the antenna up until it is parallel to the horizon and until it clicks into place.
NOTE: The antenna works best when positioned at an angle to the iQue M5 (second or third “click” of the antenna).

GETTING STARTED > ACQUIRING SATELLITE SIGNALS

Acquiring Satellite Signals

The process of acquiring satellite signals for the first time is called initialization. Initializing allows the iQue M5 to receive and store satellite information. The process happens automatically when you open the GPS antenna and may take several minutes. After you initialize, the iQue M5 should acquire satellite signals quickly each time you open the GPS antenna.
To acquire satellite signals, you must be outdoors where you have a clear view of the sky. Avoid standing near tall buildings or trees, as they may block satellite signal reception.
To initialize your iQue M5:
1. Go outdoors where you have a clear view of the sky.
2. Turn on the iQue M5 and open the GPS antenna as explained on the previous page. Use the stylus to tap OK on the screen when
the warning appears.
3. Wait while the iQue M5 searches for satellite signals.
