The GPS II uses a flashing on-screen message indicator to alert you to important information. Whenever the
message indicator appears, press PAGE to view the message page. There are two types of messages: temporary
alerts and condition alerts. Temporary alerts are cleared from the message page after viewing, while condition
alerts remain until the condition has been resolved. Pay careful attention to all messages for your own safety.
