  • Page 30: Receiving A Globalgram

    Receiving a GlobalGram In order for you to receive a GlobalGram with your GSC 100, you must request your unit to check for messages. Your unit must be in either AUTO or ORBCOMM mode, with a clear view of the sky and the ORBCOMM antenna fully extended, in order to receive a transmission from an ORBCOMM satellite.

  • Page 31: Your First Position Fix

    This position fix allows the unit to locate itself, on the earth, relative to the location of both GPS and ORBCOMM satellites. To get a position fix with your GSC 100 receiver, you must be outside with a clear view of the sky and away from any large obstructions (buildings, large trees, etc.).
