GPS 35 PC

The GARMIN GPS 35 PC is designed for easy installation and initialization. For best

performance, please refer to the following instructions.

Mounting the GPS

The GPS 35 PC is designed for use in

the automotive environment, and should be

mounted with the optional magnetic, suc-

tion cup, trunk lip or surface mount (not

included). Make sure you select a location

where the receiver has the clearest view of

the sky possible for best results. Keep in mind that GPS signals do not travel through

buildings, metal, roofs, road signs, people or other significant structures. Mounting the

receiver in the highest possible location usually works best.

Electrical Connections

Your GPS 35 PC features a standard DB-9 serial connector and cigarette lighter plug

for connection to your PC serial data port and 12 volt DC power source. Plug the ciga-

rette lighter plug into a 12 vDC receptacle, and connect the 9-pin D connector to the ser-

ial port of your PC. Note that the cigarette lighter plug has a user-replaceable in-line fuse

to protect the GPS. The DB-9 connector uses the following pin-out format:

PIN 2: Data Transmit

PIN 3: Data Receive

PIN 5: Signal Ground

Initialization

Once you apply the correct power to the GPS for first-time use, it will begin search-

ing for satellites in AutoLocate

mode. This process will initialize the receiver, and

should compute your position in no more than 5 minutes. After the GPS has been ini-

tialized, you will usually acquire a fix within a minute. If you have trouble acquiring a fix

or losing satellite signals, double check the installation to verify that the antenna is cor-

rectly installed with a clear view of the sky. If you move more than 1500 miles with the

receiver off, the GPS will automatically re-initialize itself to your new position (which may

again take up to another 5 minutes).
