Refer to the Matrix Installation Guide for specific installation and cabling
instructions for your Matrix unit and for the transducer. Refer to the GPS
Installation Guide also included with your Matrix unit for specific installation and
cabling instructions for your GPS Receiver. Once you have installed the Matrix, the
transducer and the GPS Receiver, you should confirm that the GPS is installed
correctly. Press POWER to turn on your Matrix unit. Immediately press the MENU
button to display a screen list of Start-Up options. Use the 4-Way Cursor key to
select System Status from the Start-Up menu.
Press the VIEW key until the System Status/Accessory Test View is displayed. This
view displays the connection status for each accessory. If your GPS Receiver is
connected properly and it is communicating with your Matrix unit, it will be
shown as CONNECTED.
After the GPS Receiver is shown as CONNECTED, press the VIEW key again until the
GPS Diagnostic View is displayed. The GPS Diagnostic View will display acquired
satellites and their status, including signal strength. Your GPS Receiver will not
provide valid signals until it acquires at least two satellites. Acquisition can take
several minutes if this is the first use of your Receiver. This time lag also happens
if you have moved a significant distance since the GPS Receiver was last used.
In Start-Up mode, the GPS Diagnostic View can be viewed as one of the available
views if a GPS receiver is detected. It will not be available if the GPS receiver is not
detected. In Normal mode, the GPS Diagnostic View is normally hidden, but can be
viewed as an Advanced feature. To make this view visible, go to the Setup Tab, set
the User Mode to Advanced, choose Select Views, and change the GPS Diagnostic
View selection to Visible. After this, the GPS Diagnostic View will become part of
the view rotation accessed through the VIEW key.
