2. Operational characteristics 
 
 
2.1 Initialization 
After you place the battery into the housing, and put the switch at ON or AUTO, then the GPS-6032 is 
ready to work for you. When you activate the Bluetooth function in your machine (PDA or PC) and get pairing 
with GPS-6032, you may start GPS function. As soon as the initial self-test is complete, the GPS-6032 begins 
the  process  of  satellite  acquisition  and  tracking  automatically.  Under  normal  circumstances,  it  takes 
approximately 30 seconds to achieve a position fix at the first time, 30 seconds if ephemeris data is known. 
After a position fix has been calculated, information about valid position, velocity and time is transmitted over 
the output channel. 
After  the  acquisition  process  is  complete,  the  GPS-6032  sends  valid  navigation  information  over  output 
The  GPS-6032  utilizes  initial  data,  such  as  position,  date,  time  and  satellite  orbital  data,  to  achieve 
maximum  acquisition  performance.  If  significant  inaccuracy  exists  in  the  initial  data,  or  the  orbital  data  is 
obsolete, it may take more time to achieve a navigation solution. The GPS-6032 Auto-locate feature is capable 
of automatically determining a navigation solution without intervention from the host system. 
 
2.2 Navigation 
channels. These data include: 
 
1)  Latitude/longitude/altitude 
2)  Velocity 
3)  Date/time 
4)  Error estimates 
5)  Satellite and receiver status
