may include the effects of rapid movement, such as
swinging your arm while holding the unit.

1. Highlight the ‘MXSPD’ field, and press ENTER .
2. Press ENTER to confirm the ‘RESET?’ prompt.
Altitude Field
When the GPS 12CX is acquiring satellites or navi-
gating in the 2D mode, the last known altitude is used
to compute your position. You may also manually en-
ter your altitude for greater accuracy. In cases where
the GPS 12CX has 2D coverage, entering your approxi-
mate altitude will enable the receiver to determine a
more accurate position fix.
To enter an altitude:
1. Highlight the ‘ALT’ field, and press ENTER .
2. Enter a value, and press ENTER .

ety of user selectable position formats. See page 39 for
