1. Starting Up
Once you have synchronised the SD Card it is time to perform the first Start Up.
First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall
●
trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.
Next, switch the unit on by moving the 'Batt. ON/OFF' switch located on the back
●
of the unit to the 'ON' position, then press and hold the standby power switch on the
left hand side of the unit for 2 seconds.
Press the 'Navi' icon on the menu screen. Whilst Truckmate software is loading, a start-
●
up display will be shown for just a few seconds and then an 'Information Screen' will be
displayed. Press the 'I Agree' button and the screen will display a section of a map.
Truckmate needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this
●
has been achieved Truckmate will ascertain your position and this will be indicated by
a green arrow icon on the on-screen map and the GPS signal strength will be shown to
the bottom right hand corner of the display. Truckmate is now ready to navigate.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first 'Cold' start
could take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once
initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only
a matter of minutes.
