About this Manual

This manual provides essential information for the safe and reliable operation of the ComNav

Vector G2 GPS Compass. You are urged to read this manual in its entirety before you use

your GPS Compass for the first time, and to keep it handy until you become thoroughly

familiar with the operation of the compass.

Note: most of the information in this manual applies to both models of

the Vector G2 GPS Compasses: the Vector G2 and the Vector G2B.

For easier reading, most references in the text use “G2” – but that

should always be understood as referring to both models. Whenever

a particular item applies only to the G2 or the G2B, it will be so stated

in the text of that item.

When using this manual with the Vector G2, please ignore the

sections which discuss Radiobeacon signals, Beacon receiver

operation and related installation details. Those sections apply only

to the G2B.

Manual Format

This manual has been formatted to be printed on both sides of the pages of the manual, and

on standard Letter-sized paper (8.5” x 11”).

If you have obtained this manual as a soft-copy, please note that it is in Adobe® Portable

Document Format (“pdf”), and so may be viewed & printed with Adobe Reader®, or

compatible pdf-format viewers.

When printing this manual with Reader, you should select “duplex printing” (or the equivalent

term used by your printer’s software driver), in order to print it double-sided on the paper. If

your printer does not have built-in duplexing capability, you can still print this manual

double-sided by following the instructions that came with your printer for doing “hand

duplexing”.

You should also select the Auto-Rotate and Centre

option in the Print Dialog box, de-select

the Choose Paper Source by PDF page size

option; as well, you should set Page Scaling to

None – Reader’s default setting is Shrink to Printable Area, and is printer-dependant (usually

set at ~97%), but that is not needed here.
