The satellite dish icon on the left side of the screen ashes while the Forerunner determines your location. 3. Leave the Forerunner with a clear view of the sky for 15-30 minutes initially. If the Forerunner does not detect any satellites, a message appears asking if you are indoors. Selecting Yes shuts off the GPS to conserve battery life for indoor practice. Selecting No prompts another question asking if the unit has been moved hundreds of miles. Choose Yes to have the unit Autolocate the satellite signals (Also use this option if you are having problems receiving satellites the rst time you use the Forerunner.) The word Locating. appears in the signal bar area when in Autolocate mode. After the rst use, it should only take less than a couple minutes to acquire satellites. 4.
