iQue 3600 GPS Applications GPS Receiver Status Acquiring Satellites Receiving Satellites (Ready to Navigate) GPS turned Off (Conserves Battery Power) 4 GPS Receiver Status: On, Off or Acquiring Satellites The GPS Receiver can be in three states, On, Off, or Acquiring (searching for enough satellite signals to determine its location). To determine the GPS status at a glance: 1. Observe the small color window at the center of your handheld status bar. 2. When GPS is On and searching for satellite signals, the window will appear as shown in the top left illustration. 3. When enough satellite signals are being received to establish a location fix, the window will appear as shown in the middle left illustration. 4. When the Antenna is closed and the GPS is Off, the window will display a sky with no satellites. It is IMPORTANT to remember that whenever the antenna is not in the fully closed position, that the GPS receiver is operating. The GPS receiver can, from time to time, lose satellite signals due to interference from tree cover, buildings, etc., so monitoring the GPS Status Window from time to time is recommended. If you don't want the GPS Receiver On, and particularly when indoors, keep the antenna closed! You can tap the Satellite Status window at any time to display the QueGPS application and view satellite status in detail.
