OR
Use the four-finger reset NAV, GOTO, LIGHT and
MENU pressed together.
The reset will clear the receiver’s memory.
no power Check how the batteries were inserted into the tray;
are they oriented correctly? The batteries may also
have run down completely.
If operating from external power, the receiver may
not have been hooked up correctly, or the external
power source is not operating. Check the connec-
tions, and be sure the external power source is
operating correctly.
Use only the Magellan Power/Data Cable to connect the receiver
to external power.
position fix If the old data icon (Ä) is displayed, the signal from
doesn’t change one or more satellites has been lost, and the receiver
has been unable to reacquire or replace it. The
displayed fix is at least 10 seconds old, and should
not be used for navigation.
If there is no old data icon, the display may be
frozen. Press any key to change the display. If the
display does not changed, refer to “frozen display.”
position fix Small changes in the position coordinates and
fluctuates elevation are normal. They are caused by several
variables, including the geometric quality of the fix
and the effects of SA. Geometric quality is a mea-
surement of the probable accuracy of a fix based on
the position of the satellites being used in relation to
each other.
