APPENDIX A
MESSAGES
The GPS 50 uses the Message Page to communicate important information
to you. Some messages are advisory in nature, others are warnings that may
require your intervention. This appendix provides a complete list of GPS 50
messages and their meanings. Please pay careful attention to all messages.
ACTV WPT - An attempt has been made to modify the position of the " active
to" or " active from" waypoint. The GPS 50 will not allow the modifications.
ADJST OSC - The GPS 50 has detected excessive drift in its internal crystal
oscillator which may result in longer acquisition time. The unit should be
taken to an authorized GARMIN service center as soon as possible.
ALARM CLK - The alarm clock time has been reached.
ANCHR ALR - Your craft has drifted outside the anchor drag alarm radius
set on the Alarm Page.
APCH ____ - You are less than one minute from reaching the indicated
waypoint or your craft has entered the arrival alarm circle for the indicated
waypoint.
ARIV ____ - Your craft has entered the arrival alarm circle for the indicated
waypoint.
BATT LOW - The battery pack is low on power. AA batteries should be
replaced or the rechargeable battery pack should be recharged for continued
operation.
CDI ALARM - Your course deviation has exceeded the limit you specified on
the Alarm Page.
DATA LOST - Stored user data, including waypoints, routes, and satellite
orbital data has been lost due to a low memory battery.

Waypoint Definition Page with a name that already exists in memory. Enter
a waypoint name that does not exist.
HIGH EPE - The accuracy of the GPS 50 position is degraded beyond 500
meters due to satellite geometry or data quality. Additional cross checking
should be performed by the user to verify the integrity of the GPS 50 position.
