Differential 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 nor-
mal. 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
Installation section of this manual.
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.
Red Solid
Tracking one or more satellites (no position up-
date). 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 indi-
cation if the HDOP is greater than 10, if the receiver is
tracking too few satellites, or for other reasons as well.
Read the GPS and DGPS function screens for more in-
formation.
Yellow/Green Solid
GPS position update; DGPS corrections are not be-
ing 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 transmit-
ter) 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
