1. Using the Evolution for the first time
After you have performed a download and installed your Evolution it is time to
perform the first start up. First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a
space as possible, clear of tall trees and buildings so that the built in GPS
antenna has as clear a view of the sky above. Next turn the unit on by rotating
the ON/OFF Volume dial towards you. The LED text display will briefly read
‘Snooper’, Logic # (see page 20), Mway, City or All (page 15) and finally
’Searching for Satellites...’ will scroll across the screen as the unit begins to
search for satellite connection. The Evolution needs to acquire a minimum of four
satellites in order to work. Once this has been achieved the Evolution will
proceed to the Standby screen of your choice (See Standby Screen below). As
soon as the standby screen is displayed your Evolution is ready to use and will
now automatically alert you of any locations stored in its database. A variety of
audible and visual alert patterns are explained later on in this section. See
‘Features and Settings’ to personalise your unit.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first ‘Cold’
start could take anywhere from 15 – 50 minutes to establish a satellite
connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and
eventually should take only a matter of minutes.
Please Note: If the unit is not used for some time the initial GPS start up may
take longer than when the unit is used regularly.
2. Standby Screen
There are three selectable standby screens to choose from:
•
Vehicle Speed
•
Atomic Clock and Compass
•
GPS Signal Strength and Compass
To select your preference:
1. Press and hold the MODE/MENU button (for approximately two seconds) until
the unit displays ‘Tone’.
2. Using either buttons 1 or 2 scroll through the Menu items until the screen
reads ‘Scr Mode’ and press the SELECT button (3).
3. Using either buttons 1 or 2 scroll up or down through the options. When you
reach your desired setting, press the SELECT (3) button again.
