2.5 GPS DATA and Time (GPS/DATA)

If the boat has an operational GPS navigation receiver, the VHF radio
automatically detects and updates the vessel position and the local
time.

However, if the GPS navigation receiver is disconnected or absent,
you can specify the vessel position and the local time manually, using
the GPS/DATA option.

This information is important because it will be used if a DSC distress call is transmitted.

You can also enter the course (COG) and speed (SOG) and select GPS Alert and GPS Simulator
options.

2.5.1 Manually Enter Position and UTC Time (MANUAL)

Note that this function is available only if an operational GPS receiver is not connected.

1. Select GPS/DATA, then MANUAL.

2. Enter the latitude, then the longitude, then the UTC.

3. Press ENT when all the information is correct.

The vessel’s latitude and longitude are shown on the screen, with the UTC time. The prefi x
MAN indicates a manual entry. The manual entries are cancelled if a real GPS position is
received.
