synchronize with this beacon station for one minute, it automatically starts to search for the highest signal intensity, again.
In cases where the beacon frequency has been manually selected after referral to the supplied BEACON STA-
TION LIST, ensure the corresponding baud rate is also entered. If both the beacon frequency and the baud
rate are not correctly entered the position correction signal will not be received.
