Appendices Appendix C Reception Tips Clouds and weather do not affect the operation of the eTrex! The eTrex has a 12 parallel channel receiver for fast, accurate position fixes, even under heavy foliage and tree canopy. 44 Satellite Reception Tips The basic steps in getting the eTrex 'ready to navigate' was covered on page 9. If the eTrex has problems with receiving satellite signals, you will be prompted to answer some questions. Please follow the steps that best describes your situation: A. You are not indoors and you have not moved hundreds of miles/km since you last used your eTrex: 1. The message 'TROUBLE TRACKING SATELLITES. ARE YOU INDOORS NOW?' will appear. Press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight 'NO'. Press ENTER. 2. eTrex then asks: 'HAVE YOU MOVED HUNDREDS OF MILES/KM SINCE LAST USE?' Press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight 'NO'. Press ENTER. 3. eTrex asks: 'IS TODAY dd-mmm-yy?' If you answer 'YES' (the date matches the current date) the eTrex will continue tracking satellites and switch to the Satellite Page. 4. If you answer NO (the date is incorrect), the eTrex will do an 'AUTOLOCATE' and switch to the satellite page. An 'AUTOLOCATE' forces the eTrex to search for any available satellite(s) to determine its (your) location. B. You are not indoors but you have moved hundreds of miles/km since you last used your eTrex: 1. The message 'TROUBLE TRACKING SATELLITES. ARE YOU INDOORS NOW?' will appear. Press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight 'NO'. Press ENTER. 2. eTrex then asks: 'HAVE YOU MOVED HUNDREDS OF MILES/KM SINCE LAST USE?' Press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight 'YES'. Press ENTER. 3. eTrex will do an 'AUTOLOCATE' and switch to the Satellite Page. This option is useful if you've relocated a distance greater than 500 miles from the last location the eTrex was used.
