Garmin cf que 1620 Applications Guide - Page 9

cf Que™ 1620 GPS Applications Start Up Tap to open the Application Map Page Initializing the GPS Receiver Starting Up the cf Que 1620 If you followed the Setup instructions provided with the cf Que 1620, then both the cf Que receiver and Garmin Que application software have been successfully installed in the Pocket PC. To start operation, turn on your device and tap Start to display the Start Menu, then tap Programs to display the Programs List with the Garmin Que icon. Tap the Garmin Que icon to display an introduction page and then the Map Page and you're on your way to navigating. Helpful Hint: To shorten the process of restoring the Que application to visible status, open Settings and the Menus application on the Personal page. From the Menus page place a check next to Garmin Que to place it on the Start List. It is important to remember that the cf Que GPS receiver will continue to operate when the application is not visible. This can contribute to depletion of reserve battery power. Some Pocket PC devices continue to supply power to the CF slot when the PDA is turned off. To prevent accidental battery drain, it is recommended the you remove the cf Que from the slot when the Garmin Que application is not in use. The methods for closing the Que application are to tap "Exit" from the Map Page Main Menu, or from any application, tap Start, then Settings, and finally Memory and tab to a list of Running Programs. Tap "Garmin Que" and then the Stop button. Viewing the Map Page The Map Page is the base for accessing all of the Que navigation features. A message window at the top of this page keeps you informed of the status of the GPS receiver. When the cf Que GPS receiver is not installed the Map Page will display a "No GPS Connected" message. When the receiver is installed in the CompactFlash slot, the Map Page will then display a "Waiting for GPS" message until the application connects with the receiver. Once connected an "Acquiring Satellites" message appears until GPS Location is achieved. To return to the Map Page from any other Que feature page or option, tap OK. Initializing the GPS Receiver The GPS Receiver (the cf Que device) must be initialized (given an opportunity to determine its location) before you can begin using it for navigation. Before it can receive signals from GPS satellites overhead, you must turn the receiver on and deploy the antenna on the cf Que™ by positioning it parallel with the horizon for best satellite reception. In order to receive satellite signals, you must be outdoors and have a clear view of the sky. Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or dense overhead tree cover. When the cf Que initializes for the first time it may take as long as 15 minutes. This time can be shortened by using the GPS Info Page to select the general area in which you are currently located (see page 20). Anytime you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS receiver turned off, the cf Que must again find its location by re-initializing. If for any reason, you have difficulty initializing your cf Que, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 38, the solution could be a simple as moving slightly to avoid buildings or objects that are blocking or deflecting satellite signals. -1-
