where are you using the unit?

in the house?
in the garden?
in the car?
in the bath?

you need to be in line of sight of the sky to get a lock with that unit.

If you car has a heat reflective windscreen it won't work inside it.
You'll need an external aerial.

It can take up to 45 minutes to get a lock the first time after setting it up so try it outside first
