Collecting Almanacs
Each satellite broadcasts a message (almanac) which gives the
approximate orbit for itself and all other satellites. If the receiver has
an almanac, you can considerably reduce the time needed to search
for and lock on to satellite signals.
The receiver regularly updates the almanac and stores the most recent
almanac in its Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).
1. Set up the receiver (connect the external antenna, if needed) in a
location with a clear view of the sky.
2. Turn on the receiver.
3. Wait for about 15 minutes while the receiver collects almanac
data from the satellites.
NOTICE
NOTICE
If 15 minutes have passed and the receiver does not lock
on to satellites, you may need to clear the NVRAM. See
“Clearing the NVRAM” on page 4-17 for this procedure.
