NOTE
This section is intended to provide only enough information to set
the initial position, altitude, mode, time, and date before the unit
is used for the first time, and assumes that all user-set operating
parameters will remain at default. You must read
SETUP
in
Chapter 3 to fully customize the unit.
Initializing Manually.
Press
SETUP
,
1
, and
ENTER
. If you
are re-initializing, a position may
be displayed; press
CLEAR
to erase
it.
NOTE
The unit is initialized at the factory; this is usually cleared
before the unit is shipped. Do
NOT
use the factory coordi-
nates or the coordinates of the following sample as your initial
position unless you are in the Southern California area of the
United States.
To select position coordinates, press
the appropriate keys on the 10-key
keypad. You may have to select a
hemisphere; the unit automatically
displays "N" during initialization.
If your position is south of the
equator, press the
RIGHT ARROW
to select "S." Next, press
ENTER
.
Coordinates with trailing zeros can be entered in two ways. You can key in
the entire coordinate manually; for example, 34
°
00.00 would be 3, 4,
0,0,0,0, ENTER. You can also key in the digits up to the first trailing zero and
let the unit fill in the blanks. For the same coordinate, you would key in 3,4,
ENTER, and the unit would fill in the last four zeros.
The ProMARK X can display position coordinates in several formats. The
default format is Lat/Lon displayed as degrees and minutes to two decimal
places. You must enter your initial position in this format; the unit will not
accept coordinates that are entered in an unselected format.
