Operating Instructions

1. Starting Up

Once you have synchronised the SD Card and

performed a download as necessary it is time to

perform the rst 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.

The unit will then start up and the following warning will

be displayed.

Please read the warning and press

to continue.

Whilst the Syrius Plus 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. The Syrius Plus needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this

has been achieved the Syrius Plus 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. The Syrius Plus is

now ready to navigate.

As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the rst ‘Cold’ start can take anywhere from 15

– 50 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and

eventually should take only a matter of minutes.
