INITIAL SETTINGS When the unit is powered for the first time, it is in a “cold start” state, meaning there is no satellite data (almanac data) stored. In this state, the unit searches for, and stores, satellites to find its heading. This process takes approximately 60 seconds. If the heading is not found within 30 minutes, the antenna installation location may not be suitable.
2. INITIAL SETTINGS [GNSS Setup] Menu You can disable (ignore) satellites and adjust the elevation mask from the [GNSS Set- up] menu. Menu item Description [Disable SV] [QZSS All] Select [YES] to ignore all QZSS system satellites. [QZSS] [QZSS1] You can ignore individual QZSS system satellites by specifying the satellite number.
2. INITIAL SETTINGS [Sensor] Menu In order to display data correctly, enter the ship’s dimensions, SCX-20 installation lo- cation and adjust the sensor offset values as required on the [Sensor] menu. Menu item Description [Offset] [HDG] Offset the heading angle. When the heading angle is skewed right, enter a negative value.
For all vessels, [CALC-SPD-Z] should be set to the vessel's draft value. For further information, contact your local FURUNO dealer. [CALC-SPD- Set the height for calculating the 3-axis speed. Enter the distance...

APPENDIX 3 WHAT IS SBAS? A satellite-based augmentation system, or SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System), is an augmentation system that uses additional messages from satellite broadcasts to support regional and wide area augmentation. SBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even bet- ter position accuracy, through the GPS error corrections that are widely broadcasted from the geo- stationary satellite.
