About satellite signals

If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the

following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna of

your device.

• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may

be affected.

• Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of

seconds to several minutes.

each satellite is shown in the satellite info view. The longer

the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When your device

has received enough data from the satellite signal, the bar

turns black.
