GETTING STARTED
Initialization
Intializing the Receiver
The first time you power up your new GPSMAP 135 Sounder is an important step
in getting the best possible GPS performance. The receiver must be given an oppor-
tunity to collect satellite data and establish its present position. To ensure proper ini-
tialization, the GPSMAP 135 Sounder is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate
TM
mode, which will allow the receiver to “find itself” anywhere in the world. To speed
up the initialization process, we recommend using the graphic initialization process
described below, which will usually provide a position fix in about a minute.
Before you initialize, make sure the GPSMAP 135 Sounder unit and antenna have
been correctly installed on your vessel according to the instructions in Appendix A.
To turn the GPSMAP 135 Sounder on:
1. Press and hold the
P
key until the power tone sounds.
The welcome page will appear while the unit conducts a self test. Once the
internal test is complete, the mariner’s warning will appear, asking you to read and
acknowledge important information regarding the proper use of electronic charts.
To acknowledge the mariner’s warning:
1. Press the
T
key.
A message alert and prompt will also appear to ask you to select an initialization
method.
To view a system message:
1. Press the
J
key.
2. Press the
J
key again to return to the previous page.
A. The welcome page will be displayed while the
unit performs a self-test.
B. Confirm the Mariner’s Warning before start-
ing navigation. Remember that the electronic
chart is designed as a supplement to local
government charts, not as a replacement.
