18 | Keypad & Display Description
Yellow/Green Solid
GPS position update; DGPS corrections are not being received. You may see this
from time to time during normal operation. It usually occurs when the beacon signal is
not available (either it is being blocked by terrain or a local object or you are out of range
of the transmitter) and/or you are tracking 3, 4, or 5 satellites, and the satellites have
poor geometry relative to your position. The condition will normally go back to green
solid, when it picks up another beacon station. The factory default level for dropping
DGPS corrections is 600 seconds. During this period, your positioning information maybe
less than optimal, and position accuracy may be off by as much as 5 meters. Press the
GPS function key and refer to the DGPS section in this manual for guidance if this light
condition occurs.
Yellow Solid
DGPS position update with poor HDOP value. You may see this from time to time
during normal operation. It usually occurs when you are tracking 3, 4, or 5 satellites, and
the satellites have poor geometry relative to your position. The condition will normally
go back to Green Solid when it picks up another satellite or the geometry of the existing
satellites improves. The factory default level for this indication is with an HDOP of 4 to 10.
During this period, your positioning information is less than optimal, and position accuracy
may be off by as much as 5 to 10 meters. You can press the GPS function key and refer to
the GPS section in this manual for guidance if this light condition occurs.
Green Solid
DGPS position update with HDOP value less than 4. This is the normal operating
condition. Position accuracy is normally better than 3 meters. Keep in mind that position
accuracy is only as good as the corrections received, their age, your distance from the
reference station, and the geometry of the satellites. This is the normal operating condition
and no icon will be displayed.
GPS Trafc Light Operation:
Red Flashing
Not tracking satellites (no position update). This is normal for the first 2 minutes or so
when turning the unit on. The very first time you turn the unit on, or if the memory is reset
or lost, this condition is also normal. Allow the receiver to run for at least 30 minutes under
these circumstances. If it still does not change to Red Solid, refer to the troubleshooting
section in the page 110 of this manual. An icon similar to the one at left will be displayed
in the upper left corner of the screen.
Red/Yellow Solid
Dead Reckoning . When normal GPS or DGPS operation is not available, this LED sequence
is provided to quickly identify the DR navigation mode. A DR indicator is also displayed on
all screens in the upper left hand corner of the display.
Red Solid
Tracking one or more satellites (no position update). This is also normal for the
first 2 minutes or so when turning the unit on. The very first time you turn the unit on,
allow the receiver to run for at least 20 minutes after changing to Red Solid to collect an
almanac from the satellites, regardless of whether a position update has been calculated
or not. This is also a normal indication if the HDOP is greater than 10. The HDOP value
can be read in the GPS function screens.
Yellow Solid
GPS position update has a poor HDOP value. You may see this from time to time
during normal operation. It usually occurs when you are tracking 3, 4, or 5 satellites,
and the satellites have poor geometry relative to your position. If you are patient, the
condition will normally go back to Green Solid when you pick up another satellite or the
geometry of the existing satellites improves. The factory default level for this indication
is with an HDOP of 4 to 10. During this period, your positioning information is less than
optimal, and position accuracy may be off by as much as 10 to 30 meters. You can press
the GPS function key and refer to the GPS section in this manual for guidance if this light
condition occurs.
