Ü

PDOP

— Appears on all position screens when the Position

Dilution of Precision (PDOP) of the position fix is 10.1 or greater.
The accuracy of the fix is uncertain; do not use this fix for
navigating. May override the SQ icon.

Ñ

Signal Quality

— Appears on all position screens when the

Signal Quality (SQ) of a position fix falls to 3 or below. The
strength of one or more satellite signals is weak, and the receiver
may lose its lock on it. This has a minimal effect on accuracy, and
is intended only to alert the user that a signal may be lost. May
be overridden by the PDOP icon.

Å

Battery Warning

— Appears on all screens when the batteries

are low and should be replaced.

A

Almanac Update

— Appears when the unit is collecting or

verifying almanac data. Requires about 10 minutes to complete.
Do not turn the unit off while this icon is displayed.

D

RTCM Corrections

— Appears on the position displays when the

unit is receiving RTCM corrections. May be overridden by the Old
Data icon.

T

Timer

— Appears when the dif timer is on. See Setup 6.

Ä

Old Data

— Appears when the unit has been unable to compute

and display a position fix update for the past 10 seconds. This
occurs when the signal from one or more satellites is lost and the
unit has been unable to recover or replace the signal. The position
fix displayed is at least 10 seconds old, and should not be used for
navigation. May override the RTCM icon.

— This line appears for a few seconds on power-on when

the unit has been set to 2D operation. It also appears briefly
during Automatic operation when the unit switches from 2D
operation to 3D.

Right Arrow

— Appears in the SETUP function and some AUX

functions, and during data entry to indicate that additional
options are available. Also appears in the ROUTE and WPT
functions to allow the user to scroll through additional routes or
