Operator's Manual
The setup is straight forward. Use the Change softkey to increment
forward through the available choices. Use the Go Back softkey to
increment backward through the available choices. You can also use
the left and right cursor keys to accomplish these same operations.
Enter text the same as you do for the waypoints and routes. Use the
numeric key pad to enter the appropriate time. Don't forget to set
Message Active to Yes when you are finished editing, to enable the
alarm.
Position - Positioning Reference, Mode, & Alarm Control
This configuration screen controls several important parameters which
determine your present position.
Reference System:
140
This setting controls the coordinate system used to display your
position. The available choices are Lat/Lon (default) or UTM (Uni-
versal Transverse Mercator). The receiver will automatically con-
vert any waypoint in the Route Bank or Waypoint Bank when a
different coordinate system is entered. Note that when you select a
coordinate system other than Lat/Lon, data in the NMEA 0183
records will remain in the Lat/Lon format, as defined in the NMEA
0183 standard.
When you select UTM, you can set the Zone yourself (Man), or let
the receiver calculate the zone for you (Auto, default).
