GPS Information

When using the GPS feature of the MC55:

• Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside

and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.

• Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the

MC55 being unable to compute the initial position quickly.

• Obtain a satellite fix before moving.

• Shutdown GPS application when not in use.

1. Launch a bar code reading application on the MC55.

2. Point the MC55 toward the bar code.

3. Press the Scan button.

4. In the image window align the red taget over the

bar code. When the MC55 decodes the bar code the
taget turns green.

5. Release the Scan button.
