10 GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide
Set the time zone
To set the clock to your local time, the
handheld uses the GPS time reported
by the integrated GPS receiver and the
time zone that you specify. In the Today
screen, tap the clock icon . The Clock
Settings screen appears. Tap the Time
tab, select the Home option and then
select the correct time zone.
Install and activate software
Connect the handheld to a computer and use ActiveSync technology
to install or activate any software you need. For more information,
see Installing Software, page 19.
Use GPS
The integrated GPS receiver is switched off
until an application opens one of the GPS
COM ports. To use GPS, take the handheld
outside to a location with a clear view of the
sky. From the Today screen, tap the GPS
softkey in the menu bar. The skyplot of the
default GPS software appears. Depending on
the software you have installed, this will be GPS Controller,
TerraSync, or the GPScorrect extension for ESRI ArcPad software. For
more information, see Using GPS, page 21.
