Error Message

Although the GPS unit is connected correctly and it is able to receive data, the following error message is displayed:

Cause

Many factors can affect the performance of the GPS receiver. Weather and the surrounding environment can cause interference in achieving a fix. Locking in your position may take longer under the following circumstances:

· Urban canyons, among high buildings, under bridges or tunnels

· Cars, boats and planes equipped with solar control filmed windows

· Bad weather

· Under high voltage cables or nearby radio wave sources, such as mobile phone base stations

Solution or Workaround

• Move the receiver to another location.
• Move to an open space.
• Move away from the sources of interferences.
• Wait until the weather condition is improved.
• Be sure to quit and exit the GPS program completely if you try to restart.
• Check the power supply to the GPS unit.
