IMPORTANT!
If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen on this unit is flashing,
then it means that data is invalid. Do not rely on data that is flashing! For

position that is flashing is the last known position, not your present
position! Do not navigate with this unit until you have found the reason
the unit has lost the position data!

extending from the circle shows
