Status Line Icons
Status appear on most screens and provide you with some valuable
information as to the status of the position fixes that are being computed.
Most information on this line will be represented by icons which appear
before the arrows on the right side of the status line. These arrows have
two functions, depending on how they are displayed.
Inverted arrow icons in the lower right corner indicate that the
ARROW keys are used to enter or edit information.
Non-inverted arrow icons indicate that there are other screens
accessible from this screen using the ARROW keys.
Ü Poor Geometric Quality. Appears when the Geometric Quality
(GQ) of a position fix is below a set value and the accuracy of the
position fix is questionable. Position information displayed may
not be accurate enough to be used for navigation.
Ä Old Data. The Old Data icon (hourglass) appears when the
receiver has been unable to update the position fix. The position
information displayed is that of the last position fix computed.
Position and navigation information displayed while the Poor
Geometric Quality and Old Data icons are being displayed may
be inaccurate and should not be used for navigation.
Ñ Low Signal Quality. Is displayed if the Signal Quality (SQ) of one
or more satellites used to compute a position fix drops below a
minimum level. This has a minimal effect on accuracy, and is
intended only to alert you that a signal may soon be lost.
Ç Two Dimensional. The 2D icon indicates that the receiver is not
receiving signals from at least four satellites to compute elevation
information. The 2D icon is also displayed when you have selected
2D in the ELEV. MODE portion of Setup.
Light On. Indicates that the display light is on.
Simulator . Indicates that the simulator function is activated.
D Differential. Indicates that the unit is receiving differential
information.
LOW BAT Battery Warning. This is warning you that you need to
replace the batteries very soon or risk losing stored data.
