External GPS antenna setup
Use the external GPS antenna if the internal antenna of your S1000C does not gain a
signal for GPS lock (indicated by a solid red GPS LED for more than 2 hours, solid
green indicates GPS lock). Connect the external GPS antenna to your device's GPS
connection port.
NOTE
After initial installation, GPS may take 30-40 minutes to get a GPS fix.
1 Place the external GPS antenna horizontally on a flat surface as close to a window
as possible. The antenna works best in an open area where it can easily pick up
signals.
2 Place the S1000C on it’s side to expose the bottom of the unit.
3 Plug the GPS cable into the GPS port on the bottom of the unit as shown in the
following diagram.
4 Stand the unit upright and gently pull the cables to the one of the long sides of the
unit.
