GPS receiver
The GPS receiver is 
located in the bottom of 
the device. When using 
the receiver, slide the 
numeric keypad open 
and hold the device 
upright in your hand at 
an angle of about 45 
degrees, with a clear 
view of the sky. 
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of 
seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection 
in the car may take longer.
The GPS receiver takes its power from the battery. Using 
the GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.
About satellite signals
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the 
following:
•
If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better 
signal.
•
If the numeric keypad slide is closed, open it.
•
If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
•
Check that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna 
of your device. For the location of the antenna, see ‘GPS 
receiver’, p. 72.
•
If the weather conditions are bad, in such a case the 
signal strength may also be affected.
•
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple 
of seconds to several minutes.

Satellite status
. If your device has found 
satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite 
info view. The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite 
signal. When your device has received enough data from 
the satellite signal to calculate the coordinates of your 
location, the bar turns black.
Initially your device must receive signals from at least four 
satellites to be able to calculate the coordinates of your 
location. When the initial calculation has been made, it 
may be possible to continue calculating the coordinates of
