If such a gauge is moved a long distance between uses, the GPS system must be allowed to initialize. In some instances, initialization may take as long as 30 to 45 minutes from the time the gauge is powered on with the GPS enabled. Note also that the gauge must be positioned such that the GPS receiver can receive signals from the GPS satellites (see Appendix I for more information). If the GPS does not initialize within 45 minutes, contact your Troxler representative. </p><p> Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc. </p><p>3008 Cornwallis Rd. P.O.
