After satellite signal is acquired and your current position has 

been determined, the 

mini

Homer shows non-blinking 

satellite icon with arcs

; more arcs meaning better signal 

quality with more satellites used for an accurate position fix. 

The 

mini

Homer is now ready to be used. 

The time it takes to reach position fix from powering on, after several hours of 

unused period, may vary from 30 seconds to couple minutes, depending on the 

surrounding environment. Places with unobstructed sky view will result in faster 

position fix. If the 

mini

Homer had been previously used within the 2 hour period 

before powering on, the time to reach position fix will be very short. 

 

 

 

Calibrating Digital Compass 

 

The internal digital compass requires calibration for first time 

use, or when the 

mini

Homer has been moved 100miles 

(160km) from the place of last calibration.   

 

1.

 

Lay the 

mini

Homer on a flat surface with LCD facing up 

and no metal object nearby. 

2.

 

Click Power/Mode key to select the compass mode with 

compass icon 

  showing. 

3.

 

Press and hold Mark key for 2~3 seconds, the LCD will display a 20 second count 

down. 

4.

 

Within the 20 seconds, slowly rotate the 

mini

Homer 

360degrees twice, either clockwise or counterclockwise. 

5.

 

After the countdown is finished, the LCD will display the 

direction triangle and heading number once again.
