About This Manual
This chapter presents a general overview of the manual and a brief descrip-
tion of the ProMARK X. Chapter 2 introduces the user to the unit's keys,
walks the user through the initialization process, and describes how to get
position fixes with the ProMARK X. Chapters 3 and 4 provide the user with
a detailed description of the functions accessed through the SETUP and AUX
(auxiliary) keys. These chapters should be read by all users before proceeding
on to more complex topics such as navigation and the differential functions.
Chapter 5 introduces waypoints, routes, and navigation, and explains the
uses of each. Chapter 6 discusses attributes and their functional operations.
Chapter 7 is devoted to the various differential functions obtained through
the DIF key. If this is your first experience with GPS or differential processing,
you may want to first read Appendices 1 and 2, which will provide some
background information on GPS and differential theory. Specifications,
accessories, and other specialized background information are covered in
Appendices 1 through 5.

Most screens consists of four display lines. The first three lines typically
represent position fixes, navigation information, or data entry prompts,
messages alerting the user to the current state or function of the receiver.
The fourth line usually conveys system warnings; the down and/or right
arrows alert the user to other options available from this screen. For example,
the above screen displays a three-dimensional position fix with a down arrow
in the lower right corner. The down arrow indicates that there is another
screen accessible by pressing the down arrow key.
The position in the above example screen represents latitude and longitude
in the format DEG/MIN, which will be used for all sample screens in this
manual unless otherwise indicated.
