When position data is available, the GPS satellite icon appears on the top line of the LCD. If the GPS navigation receiver is not connected or is not functional, a manual latitude/ longitude position and UTC time can be entered and used in the DSC distress transmitted message. Manual Position If no GPS data is available and the MMSI number has been programmed, the GPS icon blinks and POS DATA REQ is displayed on the dot matrix display, followed by NO POS DATA. An alarm sounds for 5 seconds or until you acknowledge by pressing any key. The alert repeats every four hours as long as no position information has been entered manually. If position data is entered manually but has not been updated during the previous 23. 5 hours, all the position (lat/lon) fields are set to all 9's, time field is set to all 8's, and the display reverts to NO POS DATA. Note: The Manual Lat/Lon function is valid only when your radio is not connected to a GPS receiver.
