I Position And Time Indication; I Gps Information Indication - Icom IC-M604 Instruction Manual

I Position and Time indication

When a GPS receiver (NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01) is con-
nected, the transceiver displays the current position and time.
When no GPS receiver is connected, the transceiver displays
the manually entered position and time.
A GPS receiver appropriate for the IC-M604 is not supplied
from Icom. A GPS receiver with NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01
format is required for position and time indication. Ask your
dealer about suitable GPS receivers.
➥ When the connecting GPS receiver is compatible with
several sentence formatters, the order of input prece-
dence is 'RMC,' 'GGA,' 'GNS' and 'GLL.'
➥ When sentence formatter 'RMC' is received, time indi-
cation includes a date. Thus, the "UTC" or "Local" indi-
cation is not displayed.
➥ "??" may blink instead of position and time indications
when the GPS data is invalid, or has not been manually
updated after 4 hours.
