To use your Expedition, first make certain you have a clear view of the
sky, free from any obstructions such as trees or buildings. Also, don’t try
to use it under a carport, covered boat dock, or inside a building. Turn the
power on, press the EXIT key to erase the opening message and watch
the display.

As you wait for the Eagle Expedition to find your
position, you’ll see numbers flashing on the dis-
play. Anytime you see flashing numbers, it means
the Eagle Expedition does not have a position!
Do not rely on any data that is flashing! Once the
Expedition locks on to the satellites and finds your
position, it shows a “Position Acquired” message
on the screen. It also stores the satellite data in
its memory. The next time you use the unit, it
should take much less time to lock on.
