be moving or you can perform certain functions.
Upon achieving a GPS signal, the satellite icon on the
GPS tab turns from red to orange. Upon acquiring a

tab displays "3D" . The S3 must have DGPS present to
begin a job and provide guidance.

LED illuminates green, and a Warning appears.

window appears.
