Acquiring Satellites on the eTrex Legend

Before you can actually use your eTrex Legend® outdoor handheld for navigation, you must first obtain a fix on your current position.

1. Take your eTrex® handheld to an area with a clear view of the sky.
2. Press and hold POWER to turn the unit on.
3. Press PAGE to acknowledge the copyright.
4. Carefully read the warning message and press PAGE to acknowledge and proceed to the Satellite page.
   

The unit may take up to 5 minutes to establish a position the first time you use it outside with a clear view of the sky. After that, it should take only 15 to 45 seconds. When the eTrex Legend handheld has acquired enough satellite signals to determine your location, a “Ready To Navigate” message and your location coordinates and elevation are shown.
