Show WAAS Alarm

When the signal is available, your unit will automatically use WAAS to boost the accuracy of a position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or acquired, a message appears. Since the U.S. government is still devel- oping the WAAS system, it is not unusual for a GPS/WAAS receiver to frequently lose and reacquire its lock on a WAAS satellite. That can result in the alarm repeatedly going off. If you want, turn off the WAAS Acquired/Lost alarm without affecting how the unit uses WAAS.

To turn off WAAS alarm:

1.Press MENUMENU↓ to GPS SETUPENT↓ to SHOW WAAS ALARM.

2.Press ENT to turn it on (check) or turn it off (uncheck). After the op- tion is set, press EXITEXIT to return to the page display.
