Northstar Explorer 657 Installation and Operation Manual
Enter setup data to set up the 657 to your
requirements and to set up any optional
sensors or instruments (see section 17).
At the satellite display, check that it picks
up GPS satellites. Wait for the GPS receiver
to start up and the fix type to change from
'Acquiring' to 'GPS fix'. This should take less
than two minutes (see section 7).
Go on a test run to check that the navigation
equipment works correctly, particularly when
a radio trans mitter or radar is used.
