Initializing the Receiver
The fi rst time you power up your new GPSMAP 3006C/3010C MFD and GPS 17 receiver, the receiver
must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and establish its present position. To ensure proper
initialization, the GPS 17 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to
“fi nd itself” anywhere in the world. The MFD usually provides a position fi x within a few minutes.
Before you initialize, make sure the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C unit and GPS 17 antenna have been cor-
rectly installed on your vessel according to the instructions in the Installation Guide. The antenna needs a
clear and unobstructed view of the sky to receive satellite signals.
To turn the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C on:
Press and hold the POWER key until the display comes on, then release the POWER key.
An Introduction page appears, displaying unit information, Network Connections (attached devices)
and important information regarding the proper use of the unit. It takes a few seconds for the MFD to
search for attached devices. Once the search is complete, the “I Agree” button highlights in yellow. After
reading the Introduction, press the ENTER key if you agree.
Next, you see the fi rst of the Main Pages (see page 18), which is the Map Page. The GPSMAP 3006C/
3010C now begins searching for the GPS satellites. The fi rst time that the unit acquires satellites take sev-
eral minutes. Afterwards, acquisition times are quicker during normal use. The GPS Status icon on the left
side of the Status Bar (see also page 17) shows the progress of the satellite acquisition process. The GPS
icon status colors are:
Red— Acquiring Satellites/ Lost Satellite Reception
Orange— Ready For Navigation/ Ready For Navigation with WAAS
Gray— Lost GPS connection. (Check GPS antenna wiring connections.)
A more detailed visual reference of the satellite acquisition, GPS receiver status, and accuracy is also
available from the GPS tab on the Main Menu.
To view the GPS tab information:
1. Press and hold ADJ/MENU for two seconds, then release. The Main Menu appears.
2. If not already highlighted, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘GPS’ tab.
