GPS receiver
The GPS receiver is located in the bottom of the device.
When using the receiver, slide the numeric keypad
open, and from an upright position, move the device
to an angle of about 45 degrees, with an unobstructed
view of the sky. Do not cover the numeric keypad with
your hand.
Establishing a GPS
connection may take
from a couple of seconds
to several minutes.
Establishing a GPS
connection in the car may
take longer.
The GPS receiver draws
its power from the device
battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery
faster.
About satellite signals
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider
the following:
● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
● If the numeric keypad slide is closed, open it.
● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
● Ensure that your
hand does not
cover the GPS
antenna of your
device.
See "GPS
receiver", p. 83.
● If the weather
conditions are
bad, the signal
strength may be affected.
● If the power saver turns on while the device is
attempting to establish a GPS connection, the
attempt is interrupted.
● Establishing a GPS connection may take from a
couple of seconds to several minutes.
