The two circles indicate satellite
elevation as seen from your current
position; the outer circle represents
the horizon and the inner circle
represents 45° from the horizon.
The center of the circle is 90° from
the horizon, or directly overhead.

Satellite Status Screen
The Satellite Status screen visually displays the satellites being used and the strength
of the received signal. Additionally, this screen displays the power source you are
connected to and, if internal batteries, how much battery life is remaining. This is a
very handy screen when you wish to view how well your SporTrak is tracking
satellites.
