6.6GPS/Time Setup

By default, the Ray54 auto-detects NMEA strings and decodes appropriate latitude/longitude position and time. If the GPS navigation receiver is not connected or is not functional, a manual latitude/longitude position and UTC time can be entered and used in the DSC distress transmitted message.

When GPS Information Not Available

If no GPS data is available, the NO GPS icon appears, POS DATA REQ is displayed on the dot matrix display, followed by NO POS DATA. An alarm sounds for 5 seconds or until you acknowledge by pressing any key.

The position (lat/lon) fields are set to all 9’s and time field is set to all 8’s. The alert repeats every four hours as long as no position information has been entered manually. If position data is entered manually but has not been updated during the previous 23.5 hours, all the position fields are set to 9’s and the display reverts to NO POS DATA.

Note: The Manual Lat/Lon function is valid only when your radio is not con- nected to a GPS receiver.

To manually set the GPS position and time settings:

1.Rotate the CH knob to scroll down the list until the arrow points to GPS/ TIME.
