To initialize the receiver: 1. If the 'COUNTRY' option is not highlighted, press the D key repeatedly to move the field highlight to the 'COUNTRY' option. 2. Press the E key. 3. Use theD key to scroll through the list options until the country of your present position appears. 4. Use theU key to highlight the country/state/region you're in. If the country you're in is not listed, select another country within 500 miles of your present position. 5. Press E to finish. The GPS 12XL will now begin searching for the appropriate satellites for your location and should acquire a position within 3-5 minutes. You can verify that you have acquired a position by watching the Satellite Page transition to the Position Page (provided you haven't pressed any other buttons) or by looking for a '2D NAV' or '3D NAV' status at the top-left corner of the Satellite Page. Initialization Troubleshooting If you have trouble initializing the receiver or acquiring a position, check the following: • Does the unit have a clear view of the sky? If there are large buildings or mountains nearby, or if there is heavy tree cover, the receiver may not be receiving enough satellite signals to calculate a position. • Have you selected the right country/state/region from the EZinit list? Check for the correct approximate lat/lon on the Position Page, or reselect the appropriate country from the list to restart the initialization. • Have you moved more than 500 miles from the last calculated position with the receiver off? Reinitialize the receiver, selecting the country/state/ region of your new location from the EZinit list. Your unit should now be initialized. APPENDIX A Initialization Use the arrow keypad to highlight the country, region, or state of your present position from the list and press ENTER. If the country is not listed, select the closest country instead. 49
