Using GPS

Your radio can display GPS information if you connect an optional GPS module to it.
If the GPS module is properly connected to the radio and is working, GPS OK
appears on the radio's display. Otherwise, CHECK GPS appears.
Press PUSH/SELECT to display the current GPS mode, date, time, speed, course,
latitude, and longitude. Press PUSH/SELECT again to set the radio to its marine
mode.
Notes:
• You cannot set the radio to its GPS mode until it receives valid GPS data at least
once.
• If the radio is not receiving valid data from the connected GPS module, the GPS
data that appears blinks.
• If you press any key except DISTRESS, HAIL/INTERCOM or MENU, the radio
sets itself to its MRN mode. If you do not press any key, the radio sets itself to
GPS mode.

Using Position Setting Mode

To set the radio to its position setting mode, hold down PUSH/SELECT for about 2
seconds or press PUSH/SELECT when the radio is set to its MRN mode and does
not have a GPS module connected. A screen appears that you can use to set the
UTC time, latitude, and longitude used with DSC call.
To save the UTC time, latitude, and longitude you set, hold down PUSH/SELECT for
about 2 seconds.
Notes:
• When you set the time in position setting mode, be sure to set it to the current
UTC time, not local time.
• If the radio doesn't receive valid GPS data at least once, you cannot set it to
position setting mode.
• If the radio does not receive valid GPS data, it sounds a tone and INPUT POS
appears.
• The radio automatically alerts you if the UIC is currently set to a location but the
vessel is actually in another area's territorial waters. For example, the radio
alerts you if the UIC is set to USA but the vessel is actually in Canadian waters.

Using Battery Hi/Lo Detect

The radio alerts you if the connected battery is providing too much or not enough
power. If the battery is providing more than 16 volts, BATTERY HIGH appears. If the
battery is providing less than 11 volts, BATTERY LOW appears.
