Acquiring Satellite Signals

Before you can use the GPS tracking and navigation features, you must acquire satellite signals.

The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. The time and date are set automatically based on the GPS position.

  1. Go outdoors to an open area.

    The front of the device should be oriented toward the sky.

  2. From the home screen, select RIDE.
  3. Wait while the device locates satellites.
    It may take 30–60 seconds to locate satellite signals.
    TIP: Do not begin moving until the timer page appears (Going for a Ride).
