Acquiring Gps Signals - Canon GP-E2 Mode D'emploi

Acquiring GPS Signals

To acquire GPS signals, bring the receiver outdoors where the sky is
unobstructed and aim it up. Keep your hand or other objects off the top
of the receiver.
Signal acquisition (indicated by slow blinking) takes about 30 – 60 seconds
under favorable conditions after you turn the receiver on.
Blinking after Acquisition
The receiver blinks every 3 seconds or every 6 seconds. In 6-second
blinking mode, although it blinks every 6 seconds as needed to
conserve battery power, the GPS functions are the same as usual
3-second blinking mode.
Camera <r> Icon
When the receiver is attached or connected to a camera that displays
the [GPS device settings] menu item, GPS signal status is also shown
on the camera LCD panel or LCD monitor (p.14).
