your iQue 3600a and instructions on how to set up your iQue. To acquire GPS signals: Getting Satellite Signals The GPS receiver must be turned on and initialized (given an opportunity to determine its location) before you can use it for navigation. The first time you use the GPS receiver on your iQue 3600a, you will need to initialize it, which can take up to 15 minutes. You can shorten the initialization time by selecting your general location on the map. See "Establishing a New Location" on page 66. After you find your location the first time, the receiver takes less time to gather signals. NOTE: The antenna is designed to best receive satellite signals when it is aligned parallel with the horizon. If the antenna is positioned vertically, the iQue's ability to receive satellites may be dramatically reduced. iQue 3600a Que Applications Guide 1. Rotate the antenna so that it is parallel with the horizon. This is the "On" position. 2. Have a clear view of the sky to receive satellite signals. Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or dense overhead tree cover. GPS Antenna in the On Position. Initializing the Receiver Pull the antenna out and rotate up to the On position. Be sure the antenna is parallel with the horizon. IMPORTANT: Remember that whenever the antenna is not fully closed, the GPS receiver is operating, even when the unit is in Auto-Off mode. Press the Power button to turn off the unit and the GPS receiver. 1 GETTING STARTED > GETTING SATELLITE SIGNALS Viewing the GPS Status with QueGPS QueGPS provides signal strength bars and a status field at the top of the screen so you can view the status of the GPS receiver. To determine the GPS Status: 1. Open QueGPS by tapping the status icon at the bottom of the screen. 2. Observe the message in the top of the window. GPS Signal Status "2D GPS Location"--enough satellite signals are being received to establish a 2D fix. "GPS is Off"--the antenna is closed. GPS Tips While the receiver is gathering information, your location on the map may display as different from where you actually are located. Be patient; as soon as the receiver gathers enough satellite information, your proper location is displayed on the map. Any time you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS receiver turned off, the receiver may take longer than normal to initialize and find your location. The GPS receiver can lose satellite signals due to interference from such items as buildings, tunnels, and heavy tree cover. Monitoring the GPS status is recommended. If you do not want the GPS receiver on, keep the antenna closed, particularly when indoors. For more information about QueGPS, refer to the "QueGPS" section on page 65. To learn about GPS, refer to "Learning about GPS" in the Appendix. iQue 3600a Que Applications Guide "Acquiring Satellites"--GPS is on and searching for satellite signals. "3D GPS Location"--a 3D location fix has been established. "3D Differential GPS Location"--WAAS satellite signals are being received and a 3D location fix is established. "2D Differential GPS Location"--only enough WAAS satellite signals are being received to determine a 2D location fix. 2 GETTING STARTED > AVIATION CRADLE Aviation Cradle Use the Aviation Cradle when taking the iQue 3600a in an aircraft.

To edit the route on the map with the Aviation Cradle: 32 iQue 3600a Que Applications Guide ADVANCED AVIATION OPERATION > UNDERSTANDING VECTORS Understanding Vectors The Vectors window that appears at the last step of selecting an approach determines how you will navigate to the final waypoint in the approach. If you select No on the Vectors window, the iQue 3600a creates a straight-line course directly to the first waypoint in the approach (from wherever you are when you initiate the approach). This works much like any other route with guidance from point-to-point and a turn usually required as you cross each waypoint. NOTE: Steep Turns are not allowed on an IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) approach. Follow plate or air traffic control instructions to complete the approach without a steep turn. If you select Yes, the iQue 3600a creates an extension of the final course beyond the final approach waypoint in the database, called the final approach fix (FAF). The iQue 3600a provides no guidance to the inbound course. The course deviation needle on the graphic HSI remains off-center until you are established on this final approach course. QueMap displays an extension of the final approach course using a bold magenta line. The HSI automatically slews (rotates to show the direction) to the inbound course. On the Active Route (or Active Approach) page, a Vector to Final symbol appears adjacent to the first approach waypoint. iQue 3600a Que Applications Guide If air traffic controls clears your approach to an airport, loading the approach replaces your Direct To with a route to the FAF. Load the approach only when cleared by air traffic control. 33 ADVANCED AVIATION OPERATION > SETTING UP YOUR VNAV PROFILE Setting up Your VNAV Profile The VNAV Preferences provide settings for the vertical navigation feature. These settings create a three-dimensional profile that guides you from your present position and altitude to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. To use the vertical navigation feature, your ground speed must be greater than 35 knots and you must be navigating a Go To or a route. Once the VNAV profile is defined, watch for the teal bar on the HSI and pay attention to the alerts to help keep you informed of your progress. As you approach the initial descent point, the time to vertical navigation field (ETV) indicates the time to reach the initial descent point. The descent angle locks to prevent changes in speed from altering the profile. The VNAV feature does not take into account any changes in groundspeed that occur during the transition from level flight to descent or climb. 34 Distance to Profile Glid e Distance to Target Visual representation of VNAV NOTE: The iQue 3600a is a VFR navigation tool and should not be used to perform instrument approaches.
