Bad Fixes with Stake Out

From time to time I hear about our users getting errors with Stake Out. It's important to remember that when working in the woods, you want to use verification to prove your fix is good. To do this, be sure to use the Start button when you get close to your target point or line. The only way for the verification process to work in Stake Out is after you press Start. Watch the directions it gives to your target. At any time you can press “Stop” which will give you an accept or reject. If you aren’t where you want to be, press “Reject”, adjust your position the “Start” again. If you do not press start, you will not get the verification on your fix and you may be working with a bad fix (particularly in bad environments) and never realize it. I don’t press Start until I’m close to where I want to be, letting the fix the receiver has get me near my target point.

Shawn;
When I hit the reject button as I range in on the point the screen displays "Sequence Complete" after which I have to go and keep picking the point to stake out again. Am I doing something wrong?
