Initializing the Receiver
The first time you turn on the GPSMAP 292/298, the receiver
must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and establish
its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP
292/298 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate Mode.
Before you initialize, make sure the GPSMAP 292/298 unit and
antenna are correctly installed on your vessel according to the
instructions in the “Appendix.” Install the antenna in a location
with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky.
A full-screen GPS Information Page is shown after you press
ENTER to acknowledge the Warning Page. The page goes away
after the unit gets a position fix, or you press either ENTER or
QUIT.
To turn on the GPSMAP 292/298:
1. Press and hold the POWER key until the power tone
sounds, then release the POWER key. The title page, and
then the Warning Page appears while the unit conducts a
self-test.
2. When the self-test is complete, press ENTER to agree and
acknowledge the warning.
3. Press
ENTER to answer NO to the window asking “Do you
want to start the Retail Demonstration?”. You are only asked
this the first time you start the unit.
The GPS Information Page appears as the receiver begins acquiring
satellites.
To turn off the GPSMAP 292/298:
