Proper Handling - Signal Reception Clear View of the Sky. Because the receiver attains information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the receiver to choose from all satellites currently available. If the view of the sky is poor, (large cliffs or buildings, heavy foliage or other obstructions) the satellite signals can be blocked and the receiver may take longer to compute a position fix. Holding the Rec

Initialize Initialize for First Time Use The final step in setting up the SporTrak for the first time is to initialize the receiver . This will help your SporTrak begin computing your position in the fastest manner possible. The reason for initialization is to speed up the process for computing the first position fix when the SporTrak has no last position computed in memory (i.e., when the SporTrak is brand new or memory has been cleared). This gives the SporTrak an approximate indication of w
