Garmin GPS 95 XL GPS Receiver User Manual


 
1-4
In order to track GPS satellites, the unit must be situated with the antenna
pointed straight up and should not be blocked by objects or people. (Signal
reception through thin fabric, such as canvas, may be adequate but degraded).
When using the GPS 95 inside the cockpit it may be desirable to use the
remote antenna cable for better satellite visibility. The detachable antenna
is removed from the GPS 95 and replaced by one end of the remote antenna
cable. The antenna is then placed on the other end of the cable and, using
the suction cup mount, is situated where the best satellite visibility is possible.
You may need to experiment to determine the best location for the antenna.
(See Appendix C for removal of the detachable antenna.)
A lanyard is provided to prevent accidental dropping of your GPS 95.
Connect the lanyard to the eyelet on the back (at the top) of the unit
Fixed Mount Operation:
A surface mount is supplied for panel mount installation. The lower half of
the surface mount is also used with the yoke mount. (See Appendix C for
instructions on yoke mount installation.) The unit may be operated using
aircraft power through the cigarette lighter adaptor or the permanent installation
wire harness. Note that there are three cable assemblies (not counting the
remote antenna cable). The self-coiling power/data cable plugs directly into
the back of the GPS 95. The other end of the self-coiling power/data cable
plugs into either the cigarette lighter adapter or the permanent installation
wire harness, according to your needs or preferences.
While using aircraft power, you may wish to leave the battery pack in the unit.
In the event of aircraft power failure, the GPS 95 will automatically switch to
battery power. If you do not desire to leave the battery pack on the unit, a
battery terminal cover is supplied to protect the battery contacts. Remove
the battery pack from the GPS 95 and slide the battery terminal cover on in
its place. (See Appendix C for removal of the battery pack.)
In addition to supplying power to the unit, the permanent installation wire
harness allows you to interface your GPS 95 with a PC-compatible computer
or an ARGUS
TM
unit. When connected to a PC-compatible computer, the
GPS 95 will provide navigation information for many of the of the popular
moving map programs. (See Appendix C for connection of the GPS 95 to
other devices.)
