Turning on the Foretrex 101

After you have placed the batteries in the Foretrex 101, it is ready for use.  Allow the 

Foretrex 101 time to track satellites and determine your position the first time you use it.  
Upon startup, the GPS signal bar appears.  As the Foretrex 101 locates more satellites and 
the signal strength increases, the bar moves to the right.  Estimated GPS accuracy displays 
underneath the GPS signal bar.  Refer to the previous page for battery installation informa-
tion.

1.  Press and hold the 

button until the Satellite Page is displayed, then release.  

2.  Your Foretrex 101 automatically begins acquiring satellites.  The GPS signal bar and 

accuracy fields are shown on the Satellite Page as well as an image that is acquiring 
satellites.  The satellite dish icon on the left side of the screen flashes while the Foretrex 
101 determines your location.

3.  Leave the Foretrex 101 with a clear view of the sky for 15–30 minutes initially.  After 

the first use, it should only take less than a couple minutes to acquire satellites.

4.  When the Foretrex 101 acquires enough satellite signals to determine your location, the 

satellite dish icon on the left side of the screen stops flashing.

  NOTE: If you have moved over 500 miles from the location you last used your 

Foretrex 101 unit, or you have not used your Foretrex 101 in more than one 
month, it may take 15 to 30 minutes to determine your location.
