Acquire Satellite Signals

Before you begin using the Forerunner 301, you must

acquire GPS satellite signals. The ﬁrst time you turn on the

Forerunner, you may need to wait as long as 15 minutes to

acquire signals; after that, the Forerunner should acquire

signals quickly each time you use it. To acquire satellite

signals, go outdoors away from tall buildings and trees,

which may obstruct signal reception, and position the

Forerunner with its face toward the sky.

To acquire satellite signals:

1. Go outdoors to an open area. Then press and hold

the Power button to turn on your Forerunner 301.

2. Wait while the Forerunner searches for satellite

signals. As the unit acquires signals, the bar ﬁlls

from left to right and the Satellite icon ﬂashes.

When the Forerunner has acquired enough satellite

signals, the bar ﬁlls completely and disappears, and

the Satellite icon stops ﬂashing.

Once you are outdoors and have acquired satellite

signals, you are ready to begin your workout. Refer to the

“Workouts” section, beginning on page 9, to take advantage

of the Forerunner’s training features.

NOTE: You can turn off the GPS receiver and use the

Forerunner indoors. See “Changing General Settings”

in the Customizing section.
