The internal GPS receiver takes its power from the device 
battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery 
faster.
You can also pair a compatible GPS receiver with your 
device using Bluetooth wireless technology.
About satellite signals
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the 
following:
Go outdoors to receive a better signal.
If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
Check that your hand does not cover the internal 
receiver of your Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. For the 
location of the receiver, see ‘GPS receiver’, p. 41.
Signal strength may be affected by bad weather 
conditions.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple 
of seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS 
connection in a car may take longer.
