GPS 92 Takeoff Tour
The takeoff tour is designed to quickly guide you
through basic features and functions of the GPS 92 using
a simulated trip.
Once you’ve completed the tour and become familiar
with the main pages and features of the unit, refer to the
reference section for complete instructions on installation
and performing specific tasks and functions.
The takeoff tour assumes you have initialized the unit
and have not changed any of the default settings. If you
have changed any settings, the descriptions and pictures
used may not match your configuration. You’re now
ready to power up and take off.
To turn the GPS 92 on, press and hold the red
B
key.
After the unit performs a self-test, the database infor-
mation page will appear, listing the effective date of the
aviation database. After a few seconds, the database infor-
mation page will be replaced with the satellite status
page. The status page provides a visual reference of satel-
lite acquisition and status, with signal strength bars and a
satellite sky view in the center of the screen.
Scrolling Through the Main GPS Pages
The GPS 92 features five main GPS pages in a contin-
uous loop: satellite status, position, map, navigation, and
main menu. Try scrolling through the pages by pressing
P
.
You can also scroll in the opposite direction (or
return to a previous page) by pressing Q .
Use the status page to
instantly verify satellite
coverage, reception and
current signal strength.
Position accuracy is also
indicated in the upper right-
hand corner of the page.
Important!
T he takeoff tour assumes
you are using an Americas
database. If you are using
an Atlantic International
database, try simulating a
flight from EGLC to EGSR.
For a Pacific International
database, try flying PHDH
to PHNG. Or try a flight
using two airports of your
own choosing.
