Using the Status Screen
The STATUS screen gives you the general well-being of your
receiver by showing you satellite status, signal strengths and
battery life.

Once the
receiver has
computed a
fixed position,
the STATUS
screen will be
replaced by the

Satellite Positions
Where the satellite is
located relative to your
position.
Satellite Numbers
Identifies the satellite
shown on the chart and
on the Satellite Position
Graph.
Battery Life Indica-
tor
Shows approximate
remaining battery life for
batteries in the receiver.
Satellite Signal
Chart
Displays satellite
signal strengths shown in
gray for weak signals and
black for strong signal.
When the receiver first
tracks a satellite, the
strength bar will not be
solid until ephemeris is
collected. This takes about
30 seconds if uninterrupted.
Satellite Position
Graph
The two circles
indicate satellite elevation,
the outer circle represents
the horizon and the inner
circle represents 45ß from
the horizon. The center of
the circle is 90ß.
The Battery Life
Indicator was
designed to be
used with AA
alkaline batteries.
With AA lithium
batteries, you will
have more battery
life available than
shown on the
Battery Life
Indicator.
