Acquiring Satellites
The GPSCOM 170 will now begin searching for the
appropriate satellites for your position and should
acquire a fix within three to five minutes. You can verify
getting a position fix by watching the status page transi-
tion to the position page (provided you haven’t pressed
any other keys) or by looking for a ‘2D NAV’ or ‘3D NAV’
status at the top-left corner of the status page.
Troubleshooting
If you have trouble initializing the receiver or getting
a position fix, check the following:
• Does the antenna have a clear view of the sky?
If there are large buildings such as hangers, metal sur-
faces, or other obstructions, the unit may not be
receiving enough satellite signals to calculate a fix.
Is the right country/state selected from the EZinit
list?
Check for the correct approximate lat/lon on the
position page or reselect the appropriate country
from the list to restart the initialization.
Have you moved more than 500 miles from the
last calculated position with the receiver off?
Reinitialize the receiver, selecting the country/state of
your new location from the EZinit list.

Receiver
APPENDIX A
Once satellites have been
found, hollow signal
strength bars will be dis-
played while the data is
being collected. The signal
strength bars can be used to
help determine if satellites
are being shaded.
