Getting Started the First Time
This section explains how to get started using your Apollo GX50. Information in
this section explains how to startup the unit, check signals from the GPS satellites,
enter a seed position, and go Direct-To a destination waypoint.
It is necessary to enter a seed position and the current time the first time you
turn the unit on.
• Power on
•
Enter a seed position (your dealer may have already completed this step for you),
if necessary
•
Check satellite signal strength
•
Enter a “Direct-To,” or destination, waypoint
•
Begin navigating
Power On Turn the Power knob clockwise to switch the unit on. The startup screen, testing,
position, and database information shows on the display for several seconds and
then will go into the Navigation function.
Seed
Position
Each time the Apollo GX50 is switched on, it must locate satellites in the sky to
acquire signals before determining a position fix in a complex process involving
lengthy mathematical operations. Without a seed position and the current UTC time
and date, this process can take 10 minutes or more to complete. Enter a Seed Position
to allow the receiver to quickly locate and track available satellites.
Note
The seed position and current time only need to be entered the first
time the receiver is switched on. This information is stored in memory
and need not be entered again. If you move about three hundred miles
