SETUP 1: Setup 1 Page (SET 1)
Fig 3.1
The setup 1 page is used primarily to show the information used by the GPS to obtain an initial
position fix. It is basically a nearest airport page and can be viewed at any time to get a quick "fix" on
the nearest airport without going to the nearest airport pages. This page also displays the longitude
and latitude of the nearest airport whose information is not supplied on the nearest airport pages.
There are 5 lines of information.
• Line 1: Display to identify this page as the initial position "fix" page.
• Line 2: Display listing the identity of the nearest airport by its ICAO identification code.
• Line 3: Display of the nearest airport latitude.
• Line 4: Display of the nearest airport longitude.
• Line 5: Displays the 1) current ground speed in knots, and 2) direction to the nearest airport
listed in Line 2 in degrees magnetic north.
SETUP 2: Setup 2 Page (SET 2)
Fig 3.2 Fig 3.3
The setup 2 page displays date and time information. The default screen displays this information as
Zulu date and time (Fig3.2), but the display can be changed to show the local date and time (Fig3.3)
if desired. There are 4 lines of information.
• Line 1: Display showing the current page is used for date and time functions.
• Line 2: Display of the current day, month and year, respectively.
