Thanks, Chris. I now have managed to get in but it took rather longer than usual to acquire my position. Due to a problem recently with my PK, I had to pair from scratch after re-installing software, so that maybe accounts for the delay. I just didn't expect to wait so long.

Hi Carol,
You can do a test to see if it's the battery or not.
1. remove the battery.
2. connect the receiver to power.
3. try and acquire satellites.

Have you also re paired and activated the receiver lately.  perhaps
there's something strange going on just with that and it's not a
hardware battery issue.

Hi all,

I have a Holux GPSlim 35 receiver and think the battery (batteries) are on
the way out. Although I have charged this again ready for use (after a few 
months of inactivity), although the receiver is recognized by my PK, I am
unable to acquire satellites.  Is this likely to be a battery problem?  If
so, could you please advise if there is one or are there two different
batteries about which I should be concerned and can replace, or do I have to 
purchase a new unit?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
