4. Tap ok to close the Setting window.
NOTE If an application error message appears indicating that the COM port cannot be opened,
ensure that a free COM
port is selected in the
GPS hardware port drop-down list.
Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could
result in the FR6876 being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the
device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the FR6876 does not go into suspend
mode. If the FR6876
suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must
reacquire a valid GPS
signal, resulting in a delay of positional information.
GPS Maps on microSD Cards
GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card
with the GPS navigation software:
1. Remove the Memory Card Cover on the side of the FR6876.
2. Insert the microSD card into the slot.
3. Replace the Memory Card Cover.
