If your boat has an operational GPS navigation receiver, the radio automatically detects and updates the vessel position and the local time.
However, if the GPS navigation receiver is disconnected or absent, you can specify your boat's position and the local time manually, using the GPS/DATA menu option. This information is important because it will be used if you transmit a DSC DISTRESS call.
1.Move the cursor to GPS/DATA and press >ENT.
2.Move the cursor to MANUAL and press >ENT.
3.Enter your latitude and press >ENT. Enter your longitude and press >ENT.
4.Enter your local time in UTC format only; e.g. if the local time is 1715 and you are 3.5 hours behind UTC, enter the time as 2045. A world time chart is shown for your information.
5.Press >ENT when all the information is correct.
The vessel’s latitude and longitude are shown on the LCD screen, with the UTC time. The prefix MAN indicates a manual entry.
If a real GPS position is received, your manual entries are cancelled and MAN disappears off the LCD screen.
