Commonly Asked Questions
Does the receiver adjust itself for daylight savings time?
No. You need to reset the time for changes in your area (see
Selecting Time Format).
Will my receiver function correctly in the year 2000?
Yes. Even though the last two digits of the year are displayed, the
full year designator is stored in memory.
Why won’t the receiver accept the coordinates I am inputting?
The most common cause is that you are trying to enter coordi-
nates that are in degrees/minutes while your receiver is set to
degrees/minutes/seconds. Because the last two digits in degrees/
minutes are in hundredths (00-99) and degrees/minutes/seconds
can be no higher than 59 (00-59), inputting a number higher
than 59 while in deg/min/sec results in an error and the receiver
does not accept the entry.
Can I use NiCad batteries in my receiver?
Yes. However, the battery life of your receiver will be diminished
as well as the possibility of an incorrect reading on the battery
life gauge with the use of NiCad batteries.
You say my receiver should work up to 15 hours on two batteries, but
mine doesn’t last that long?
There can be two reasons. The first, and most common, reason
is that you have the display backlight on. The light increases the
drain on the batteries causing the decrease in battery life. The
second reason is that you are using NiCad batteries. As men-
tioned, while your receiver will operate on NiCad batteries, the
battery life is diminished.
Why is the time and date incorrect after I replace the batteries?
If the batteries are removed for 20 minutes or more, the receiver
will lose the time and date. The receiver will collect time and
date soon after tracking a satellite.
