2.1 In an outdoor open space, hold the unit with LEDs pointing towards the sky. The
unit can also be placed face up on any flat surface until GPS lock is achieved. If
the handheld unit is turned on after being off for several hours, GPS lock may take
longer, up to four minutes. After that, the unit should only take a few seconds to
acquire a GPS lock. When a GPS lock is acquired, the GPS LINK OK LED will
light solid green. A solid green light means that GPS coordinates are updating
every second.
If the handheld device is taken to an unfavorable RF location, such as under a building,
the GPS LINK OK LED will blink green once a second. This indicates that the
coordinates in the Handheld are not updating, and the last known coordinates will be
used. The handheld unit can still be used to install meters in this state.
