The GPS receiver draws its power from the device battery. Using the GPS receiver may
drain the battery faster.
Tips on creating a GPS connection
Check the satellite signal status
Select Menu > Applications > Location and GPS data > Options > Satellite status.
If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite info
view. The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When your device has received
enough data from the satellite signal to calculate your location, the bar colour changes.
Initially your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to be able to
calculate your location. When the initial calculation has been made, it may be possible
to continue calculating your location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is
generally better when more satellites are found.
To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg. view.
If no satellite signal can be found, consider the following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.
• Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite
signals.
Ensure you do not cover the antenna with your hand.
