1^ OPERATIONS The GPS 65 is deseed for fixed operations only. The unit may be

operated from external 5-40 volt DC power using the power/data cable
or cigarette lighter adapter, or external AC power using an AC adapter.

The unit may be operated using vehicle power supplied throij^h the
power/data cable. In addition to supplying power to the unit, the power/
data cable allows you to interface your GPS 65 with other marine
electronic devices such as plotters or autopilots.

The Marine/RV remote antenna should be mounted in a position that
provides an unobstructed view of the sky. Situate the antenna upright
where it will not be blocked by objects or people (signal reception
through thin fabric such as canvas may be adequate, but wOl be
degraded). This weather-proof antenna includes 30 feet of low-toss
antenna cable. The antenna has been constructed to thread onto a
standiudl" Eintenna mount, which is readily available from your locsd
marine accessories dealer.

A magnetic mount antenna is also available. This weather-proof
antenna includes 10 feet of low-loss antenna cable. A cigarette lighter
adapter cable may be used to power the unit in vehicle applications.

Normal mode should be selected for most appUcations, especially high

dynamics operations.
Battery Saver mode is available for applications where vehicle battery

life or current drain is critical.

Simulator mode allows you to simulate the operation of the GPS 65

while on board (and moored), parked in your vehicle, or at home using

the optional AC adaptor. The simulator mode can be tised while
leamii^ to operate your GPS 65 and is ideal for plannii^ routes and
entering waypoints. Keep in mind that the GPS 65 is not tracking
satellites in the simulator mode. YOU SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT
TO USE THE SIMULATOR MODE FOR ACTUAL NAVIGATION.

If you are using your GPS 65 for the first time, you are encouraged to
review Chapter 3 which introduces the GPS 65's basic features, and
Chapter 6 on custom setups. Afterward, you may want to read through
the rest of this manual and make further use of the built-in simulator
to practice with the advanced features.

2-5

CHAPTERS

BASIC OPERATION

3.1 POWER ON

After you turn your GPS 65 on. It will conduct a series of self tests and
display the following notice:

Welcome to GHRnXN's

GPS 65

Globali HciMÌgcitor

SOFTHARE UER$I«H1.24

COmiGHT 1992
CftRHIM OORF

Following completion of the tests, the Satellite Bar Graph Page (see
Section 3.2) will be displayed, and the GPS 65 will begin acquiring
satellites.

After a position is found (and if no keys have been pressed), the Position
Page (see Section 3.3) will be displayed, and the unit is ready for normal
operation.

When four or more satellites with good geometry are available, the GPS
65 will automatically operate in the 3D mode in which latitude,

longitude, and altitude are computed. If only three satellites are

available, the unit will operate in 2D mode in which only latitude and
longitude are computed. When operating in the 2D mode, the emit will
use the last computed altitude or your last entered altitude. (Section 3.3
describes how you may enter the altitude.)

Your GPS 65 will automatically update satellite orbital data as it
operates. If you have not operated your unit for a period of six months
or longer, it vrill take approximately 15 minutes to search Uie sky and
collect new orbital data. You will be informed when your unit is

searchii^ the sliy with the message “Searching (he Sky." Once satellite

orbital data is collected, it will be stored in memory. The memory is

maintained by an internal battery, therefore the data will not be lost
when you turn your GPS 65 off.

3-1

3^ SATELLITE STATUS PAGES

There are four statue pages available by pressing PWR^TAT, Three
pages display satellite tracking status, and the fourth is a menu of
auxiliaiy functions (messages, setups, and utilities). The softkeys at the
bottom of each page allow selecting pages: BAR (bar graph), STAT
(status), SKY (skyview), and AUX(auxUiary menu). You may also cycle
throu^ these pages by repeatedly pressing PWR/STAT.

3.8 NAVIGATING TO A WAYPOINT

There are four nav^tion pages available fiem the NAV key. You may
cycle throng the following with softkeys at the bottom of each page:
NAV (navigation summary), CDI (graphic course deviation indicator),
PLOT (graphic plotter), and POSN (l4esent Position Page).

Navigation Summary
The Navigation Summary Page displays direction, distance and speed

information to direct you along a route or a GOTO destination. The
active leg(route) waypoints or GOTO waypoint is shown at the topof the
screen. The GDI is at the bottom of the page. Current CDl scale setting
is shown at each end of the scale. This is replaced by the cross track
distance if the D-Bгtr goes off the scale. A relative bearing pointer at the
center of the CDI indicates Gie bearing to the waypoint relative to the
current track (TRK).

Notice that this pa^ has four cyclic
