Question:
Answer:
What can I do if my GPS will not get a position fix?
You can do several things. One, make sure that the antenna at
the top of the unit has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
Two, if using an external antenna, check the antenna
connections. Make sure the coaxial cable is
firmly secured to the back of the unit. Check along the length
of the cable to make sure it is not cut. With a voltmeter, you
may also measure the voltage output from the unit to the
antenna, which should be 5 ± 0.25 VDC between the center
conductor and the shield of the SMB connector. (Make sure
you don’t short the center conductor and the shield while you
are checking the voltage.) In addition, the antenna needs to be
mounted such that it has a clear view of the sky. Three, have
you moved more than 300 miles with the receiver off since
your last position fix? If so, the receiver may need to be
reinitialized. Four, if the unit is not receiving any Five, if none
of the above works, do a memory reset. Select memory reset
under function menu and execute the “clear all memory.”
WARNING: This will clear the unit’s memory including
waypoints, routes, GPS initialization, and settings.
