Satellite Navigation
1. Starting Up
Once you have synchronised the SD Card and performed
a download as necessary it is time to perform the first
Start Up. First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open
a space as possible, clear of tall trees and buildings so that
the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.
Next power the unit up by moving the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’ switch
to the ‘ON’ position and then press and hold the standby
power switch on the left hand side of the unit for 2 seconds.
Press the ‘Navi’ icon and the following warning will be
displayed.
Please read the warning and press to continue.
Whilst S7000 software is loading a start-up display will be shown for just a few seconds and then the screen will show a section
of a map. S7000 needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this has been achieved S7000 will ascertain
your position and this will be indicated by a green arrow icon on the on-screen map and the GPS signal strength will be shown in
the bottom right hand corner of the display. S7000 is now ready to navigate.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first ‘Cold’ start can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes to
establish a satellite connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only a
matter of minutes.
