START UP TEST
Figure 1-4 Start-up sequence
Your equipment takes about 90 seconds to
find its position when turned on for the very
first time. This is because the equipment has
no satellite data, called the Almanac, in its
database. If you want to lessen the time
needed to find position you may enter your
position manually (default position: San Fran-
cisco, USA) on the GPS SETUP OPTIONS
menu.
Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find
position each time the power is turned on.
When the satellite signal is being received
normally, the equipment displays various ab-
breviations at the bottom left-hand corner of
the display which show DGPS/GPS receiver
status. Table 1-1 shows these abbreviations
and their meanings.
