GPS" " " icon icon blinks while determining the position. When pressing [F] while the target point distance/ traveling direction is displayed, the North Up display (displays North as the top) changes to the Heading Up display (displays the current travel direction as the top) or vice-versa. In the Heading Up display, a "+" or "-" is used to help indicate the traveling direction. Normal: The display continues to show your frequency, You can use it as a normal transceiver.

To prevent unnecessary battery consumption, when there are many reception satellites, the GPS is stabilized and position data can be determined, the GPS power source repeatedly turns On and Off. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 201. 2 Set Datum to "WGS-84". · This function does not work when using an external GPS receiver. Sentence Adds an NMEA sentence to the Internal GPS receiver data output from the PC. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 211. 2 Set Sentence to "$GPGGA", "$GPGLL", "$GPGSA", "$GPGSV", "$GPRMC", "$GPVTG", or $GPZDA". 2 Set GPS Off time to "Off", 1, 2, 4, 8, or "Auto". · With BEACON transmission, the "$GPGGA" "$GPRMC" check ( ) cannot be removed in necessary information and satellite image information. You cannot output an NMEA sentence from an external GPS receiver to a PC. Auto: When set to Auto, the GPS Off time starts at 1 minute for the first time, then progresses to 2 minutes, 4 minutes and 8 minutes each additional time. The GPS Off time remains at 8 minutes thereafter. However, after having determined your position for the duration, if the GPS cannot pinpoint your location, the GPS Off time will restart at 1 minute.
