Show WAAS Alarm

When the signal is available, your unit will automatically use WAAS to boost the accuracy of the position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or acquired, an alarm message appears. Since the U.S. government is still developing the WAAS system, it's not unusual for a GPS/WAAS re- ceiver to frequently lose and reacquire its lock on a WAAS satellite. That can result in the alarm repeatedly going on and off. If you want, you have the option of turning off the WAAS Acquired/Lost alarm with- out affecting how the unit uses WAAS. Here's how:

1.Press MENUMENUto GPS SETUPENTto SHOW WAAS ALARM.

2.With the option highlighted, press ENT to uncheck it (turn off) and check it (turn on). After the option is set, press EXITEXIT to return to the page display.

3.You can return to this command and press ENT again to turn the fea- ture on.

Software Version Information

From time to time, Eagle updates the operating system software in some of its products. These software upgrades are usually offered to customers as free downloads from our web site, www.eaglesonar.com. These upgrades make the unit perform better or introduce a new fea- ture or function. You can find out what software version is running in your sonar unit by using the Software Information command.
