GETTING STARTED > ACQUIRE SATELLITE SIGNALS Acquire Satellite Signals Before you begin using the Forerunner 301, you must acquire GPS satellite signals. The first time you turn on the Forerunner, you may need to wait as long as 15 minutes to acquire signals; after that, the Forerunner should acquire signals quickly each time you use it. To acquire satellite signals, go outdoors away from tall buildings and trees, which may obstruct signal reception, and position the Forerunner with its face toward the sky. To acquire satellite signals: 1. Go outdoors to an open area. Then press and hold the Power button to turn on your Forerunner 301. The Welcome Page 2.
