The GP-1850DF/1850F takes about 90 sec- onds to find its position when turned on for the very first time. This is because the equip- ment has no satellite data, called the Alma- nac, in its database. If you want to lessen the time needed to find position you may enter your position manually (default posi- tion: San Francisco, USA) on the GPS SETUP OPTIONS menu.

Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the power is turned on.

When the satellite signal is being received normally, the GP-1850DF/1850F displays various abbreviations at the bottom left-hand corner of the display which show DGPS/GPS receiver status. Table 1-1 shows these ab- breviations and their meanings.
