CHANGING GPS SETTINGS
For the fastest position acquisition, the AccuNav Sport™
must be initialized when it’s turned on for the first time.
This is described at the beginning of the GPS section in
this manual. However, if you wish to change only one of
the parameters (such as time), press the MENU key,
then press the F5
“CHANGE GPS SET-
TINGS” key. Finally,
press the F1 “LAT,
LON, ALT, TIME,
DATE” key. The
screen shown at right
appears.
Using the menus on
this and following
menu pages, you can
change the initial po-

sition, time, date, or altitude without affecting any other
initialization setting. All of these menus work identically
to the ones described in the initialization section at the
beginning of the GPS section. After you make a change,
the unit returns to the GPS or plotter screen.

You may need to re-initialize the unit if you move a long
distance (over 100 miles) with the unit off. In this case
you would need to enter a new initial position to help the
AccuNav Sport™ find the correct satellites quicker.

GPS MODULE SELF-TEST
This feature tests the GPS module and returns a special

FAILED” and shows at the bottom of the screen. The
