GPS Information
When using the GPS feature of the MC65:
• 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 MC65
being unable to compute the initial position quickly.
• Obtain a satellite fix before moving.
• Shutdown GPS application when not in use.
