The alarm message NO GPS POSITION FIX, along with its time and
date, are shown in the RECENT ALARMS box. The word NEW in the
upper right corner of the box indicates that this is a previously unac-
knowledged message.
This sequence is a normal part of powering-up the 941X for the first
time, as it notifies you that it is in the process of acquiring satellite in-
formation necessary for navigation. It normally takes only two to five
minutes to acquire this data, after which the 941X is ready to navigate.
(This alarm condition usually occurs in units shipped to customers lo-
cated more than several hundred miles from the Northstar factory, and
only the first time the 941X is turned on after being installed.)
Press the CLEAR ALARM menu key to the right of the display screen to
acknowledge and clear the message. Press the POSITION key below the
left of the screen to return to the main GPS POSITION screen. The 941X
is now ready to navigate. (For more on alarms, see page 68. If you wish
to proceed directly to navigating with the 941X, skip to page 22.)
Your 941X was designed to be an easy-to-use, full-function GPS naviga-
tor, understandable in the information it displays and dependable in its
performance. This Reference Manual is intended to complement that
ease of use by illustrating and describing the 941X's various functions in
a format helpful to quick learning and safe operation.
The sections in this manual are grouped by related functions, beginning
with an overview of basic control panel layout and function commands,
and gradually progressing to more advanced waypoint and route naviga-
tion operations. Sample screen images are used throughout to help il-
lustrate what the 941X display screen looks like for the function being
described.
The "helpful hand" (pictured at left) is a convenient shortcut that leads
you directly to step-by-step instructions. You can also use it as a quick-
reference for locating less-frequently-used operations.
