After connections have been made between the
GX1150 and the GPS, a small satellite icon will ap-
pear on the top right corner of the display, and dis-
plays your current location (Latitude/Longitude) on the
display.
• If there is a problem with the NMEA input from a GPS, the satellite
icon will blink continuously until the connection is corrected.
• If a GPS with NMEA output is not connected to the radio, the GX1150
will beep 10 minutes after the radio is turned on. After that the GX1150
will beep every 4 hours alerting to connect a GPS.
