Eagle sport Operating Guide

Once the AccuMap Sport locks on to the satellites and finds your posi-
tion, it stores the satellite data in its memory. The next time you use the
unit, it should take much less time to lock on.

To use your AccuMap Sport, first take it outside, away from trees and
buildings. You need a clear view of the sky.

Open the antenna and adjust it so that it is
parallel with the ground. Press the PWR
key.  Read the message on the screen,
then press the EXIT key to erase the mes-
sage. A screen similar to the one at right
appears.

This is Map 4. Your present position is
shown as a cross surrounded by a triangle.
As you wait for the AccuMap Sport to find
your position, you’ll see numbers flashing
on the display. Anytime you see flashing
numbers, it means the AccuMap Sport does not have a position! Do not
rely on any data that is flashing! When the numbers stop flashing, the unit
has locked on to the satellites and the position is good.

That’s all you have to do to find your position.
The time display may not be correct when the
cold start method is used. See the initializa-
tion section for details on changing the time.

Initialization
A cold-start as described above can take up
to 15 minutes to find your position. A faster
method is to initialize the AccuMap Sport
manually. To do this, first press the PWR key.
Next, read the messages on the screen and
press the EXIT key to erase them. Now press
the MENU key.

Press the up or down arrow keys until the “GPS
SETUP” menu is highlighted as shown above
right. Now press the right arrow key. The screen
shown at right appears.
