Then leave it there for 30min so that the full sat constellation can be received and stored on the GPS which enhances the TTF (time-to-fix) next time.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Connect Stratux to a power bank by using a micro USB-B cable<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In case Stratux is connected to the electrical system of the aircraft: Stratux should be treated like a radio: first start the engine, then turn on Stratux.
