Note: The own ship marker blinks when the FURUNO GPS Receiver GP-310B loses the GPS signal. For the NavNet display units receiving the GPS signal, the message “No GPS fix!” appears approx. one minute after the signal is lost and is accompanied by the audio alarm. For the NavNet display unit connected to the GP-310B, the visual alarm is released soon after loss and the audio alarm sounds five minutes later.
