GPS Reception
GPS systems must have a clear horizon-to-horizon view to track
satellites. Because its GPS antenna is internal, the RC400 should never be
mounted below deck.
The RC400 must be used outdoors to ensure proper GPS signal
reception. The internal antenna may not be able to obtain a fix if the unit
is operated indoors.
The RC400 may require several minutes to obtain a GPS fix the first time
you power up.
Failure to properly mount the chartplotter can result in poor performance.
