Initializing the GPS Receiver
Before the GPS 72 can be used for navigation the GPS receiver must be initialized. The
GPS receiver should only need to be initialized the fi rst time the unit is used or if it has
been stored several months.
The GPS 72 stores orbital data for each satellite in an Almanac. The orbital data is
supplied in the satellite signals. Each time the unit is used the Almanac is updated. This
is how the GPS 72 knows which satellites to search for. If you do not use your GPS for
several months or move the unit several hundred miles between uses the Almanac can
become “cold” that is to say that the orbital information is no longer valid. If the Almanac
is “cold” your unit may have trouble locking on to satellite signals. If the unit is unable to
receive enough satellite signals to determine its location it will display an options menu.
Initializing the GPS Receiver:
1. With resh batteries installed, take the unit outside where a clear 360° view o the sky
can be obtained.
2. Turn the unit on and hold it in ront o you with the top o the unit tilted upward. Follow
the screen prompts, pressing PAGE to display the GPS In ormation Page.
3. The initialization process is automatic. It should take the GPS 72 no longer than fi ve
minutes to acquire enough satellite signals to become operational. When the unit
is able to navigate, it will display either 2D GPS Location or 3D GPS Location in the
Receiver Status Field.

Initialization Options
If the GPS 72 is unable to determine its location an options menu will be displayed.
Depending on the situation select an option to help the unit acquire satellites. To select an
option place the highlight over the option then press ENTER.
Start Simulator —
The Simulator can be used when you are indoors and the GPS is
unable to locate satellites. When you select ‘Simulator’ the GPS receiver is turned off
saving battery power.
New Location —
If you have moved the unit to another state province or country and
you are having trouble locking onto satellite signals select ‘New Location’.
When you select ‘New Location’ another menu will be displayed. This menu contains
the options ‘Automatic’ or ‘Use Map’. If you select ‘Automatic’ the unit will switch to
the AutoLocate mode and begin searching for satellites. If you select ‘Use Map’ you can
use the Pointer on the Map Page to select your approximate location and the unit will
continue to acquire satellites normally. ‘Automatic’ may take longer to acquire satellites.
Stored w/o Batteries —
If you have stored the unit without batteries the date stored in
the GPS may be incorrect. To check the date highlight ‘Stored w/o Batteries’ and verify
the date displayed. If the date is incorrect select ‘Stored w/o Batteries’ to search for
satellites.
Continue Acquiring —
Select this option if you are in an area where the satellite signals
are being temporarily blocked.
