Cold Start
A cold start completely re-initialises the VBOX Mini GPS engine. GPS coldstarts clear the GPS engine’s list of satellite
positions and configures the GPS engine for normal operation. For this reason, coldstarts should be performed at the
following times:
• If the unit has not been used for more than three weeks.
• If the unit has moved over very large distances (thousands of miles) whilst turned off.
• If the unit’s firmware has just been upgraded.
Because each of these are common during distribution, it is also recommended that the VBOX Mini is coldstarted on its
first use.
After performing a Cold Start the vehicle to which the unit is connected should be left in an open area for at least 15
minutes, to re-acquire the satellite almanac.
You should only need to do a cold start when you first receive your VBOX Mini, or you are experiencing poor satellite
reception in an open area.
Performing a Coldstart
• Press the
MENU
button from any Display mode.
• Highlight the Setup option and press
OK.
• Select COLDSTART.
• The following screen appears and a coldstart is performed.
When it is finished VBOX Mini will automatically go back to the Setup Menu.
