QUICK START INSTURCTIONS
When Installing the FS700 for the first time, it is recommended that the following procedure be
carried out. If a problem is encountered, please read the detailed discussion on instrument
operation (pages 1-46).
1) Make sure that the correct line voltage has been selected on the rear panel power entry module.
2) Install the antenna according to the instructions on pages iv and 9 of this manual.
3) While holding the
BSP
key down, turn the front panel power switch of the FS700 to the
ON
position. After a second or two, release the
BSP
key. This procedure will initialize all data in the
FS700’s RAM. Notice that the
OVEN
LED in the
STATUS
section is on. It will take 20 minutes
for the internal 10 MHz oscillator to stabilize. At that point, the
OVEN
LED will turn off. (It is not
necessary to wait for the
OVEN
LED to turn off before proceeding.)
4) Press the
TRACKING
menu button on the front panel. Using the
FIELD
button, position the
cursor the GRI field and type in the appropriate GRI for your area. (Note that the GRI can also
be selected by scanning the
LOCATION
field. This is done by using the
ARROW
keys.)
5) Now you must wait until the
OVEN
LED goes off (approximately 20 minutes). When the
OVEN
LED goes off, the
SEARCH
LED will immediately turn on and the FS700 will start acquiring the
LORAN signal. The search process will take between 15 and 40 minutes. After the FS700 has
successfully locked to the LORAN signal, the
LOCK
LED will turn on. Now the FS700 is ready
for operation.
