Basic GPS Operation

Chapter 4

Once you have selected the desired time zone, position the cur-
sor over the entire time field and
select the correct hour with the
right inner knob (figure 4-12).
Since 24 hour time is used, be
sure to add 12 if the time is after
1:00 P.M. (2:30 P.M. becomes
1430). Now move the cursor to

the tens of minutes position and select the desired value, and
repeat this process for the last digit of the time field. When the

correct time has been entered
(figure 4-13), press

to start

the clock running. Don’t worry
that you can’t update the
seconds. The KLX 135 system
time will automatically be correct-
ed very precisely once a satellite

is received.

To aid the GPS receiver in acquiring your position, it is vital that it

have a reasonable idea of where you are, and the Initialization
page is where you have the chance to set this initial position.
Check to see if the displayed initial position is where you actually
are. This latitude/longitude is the last known position before the
power was shut down the last time. Unless the unit has been
moved since its last use, this position should be correct. On the
right side of the screen will be the identifier of the nearest airport

in the database, with a radial and
distance from that airport. If you
need to change the initial position
to—let’s say—John F. Kennedy
International (KJFK), move the
cursor to the WPT: field and use
the right inner knob to select a K
as the first character of the
identifier (figure 4-14). Move the
cursor to the right one character
and select a J and then right
again to select an F. The final K
should be filled in by the data
base (figure 4-15). When you
press

, the latitude and

longitude fields will change to
those of KJFK (figure 4-16). If
necessary, the latitude and longi-
tude may be entered manually.
