ed beyond 500 meters due to poor satellite geometry or data quality. You should

tion.
No RTCM Input—
Beacon receiver is improperly connected or baud rates do not
match.
Poor GPS Coverage—The GPS 38 cannot acquire the necessary number of
satellites to compute a position. Try another location with a clearer view of the
sky.

The GPS 38 uses a flashing on-screen message indicator
to alert you to important information. Whenever the mes-
sage indicator appears, press
P
to view the message page.
There are two types of messages: temporary alerts and con-
dition alerts. Temporary alerts are cleared from the message
page after viewing, while condition alerts remain until the
condition has been resolved. Pay careful attention to all mes-
sages for your own safety.
