Red/Yellow Solid
Dead Reckoning . When normal GPS or DGPS operation
is not available, this LED sequence is provided to quickly
identify the DR navigation mode. A DR indicator is also
displayed on all screens in the upper left hand corner of
the display.
Red Solid
Tracking one or more satellites (no position up-
date). This is also normal for the first 2 minutes or so
when turning the unit on. The very first time you turn the
unit on, allow the receiver to run for at least 20 minutes
after changing to Red Solid to collect an almanac from
the satellites, regardless of whether a position update
has been calculated or not. This is also a normal indi-
cation if the HDOP is greater than 10, if the receiver is
tracking too few satellites, or for other reasons as well.
Read the GPS and DGPS function screens for more infor-
mation.
Yellow Solid
GPS position update has a poor HDOP value. You
may see this from time to time during normal operation.
It usually occurs when you are tracking 3, 4, or 5 satel-
lites, and the satellites have poor geometry relative to
your position. If you are patient, the condition will nor-
mally go back to Green Solid when you pick up another
satellite or the geometry of the existing satellites im-
proves. The factory default level for this indication is with
an HDOP of 4 to 10. During this period, your positioning
information is less than optimal, and position accuracy
may be off by as much as 10 to 30 meters. You can press
the GPS function key and refer to the GPS section in this
manual for guidance if this light condition occurs.
Green Solid
GPS position update with HDOP value less than 4.
This is the normal operating condition. Position accuracy
is normally between 3 to 5 meters, but can be out as
much as 30 meters. Keep in mind that position accuracy
is always only as good as the geometry of the satellites
and the navigation information provided by the satellites.
