USE THIS GPS RECEIVER ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELYS ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION This GPS receiver,(like all GE'S navigation equipment) will show the shortest, most direct path to a waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the pnident navigatorwill not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when travellingto a waypoint, but will also visually check to make certain a clear, sate path to the waypoint is always available. NOTICE! As of this writing, the Department of Defense (DOD) has not declaredthe GPS navigation systemas operational. The system is still in a testing phase. Satellites can beturned off or accuracy can be degraded at will by the system operators. Remember that the GlobalNav, or any GPS receiveris only as accurate as the systemit's using. Features and specifications subjectto change withoutnotice. All displayscreens in this manual are simulated. PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor MOTES.

It rivals other GPS units costing much more in both features and performance. The GlobalNav offers easy-to-use operation at the touchof a button. Although the GlobalNav has many features and functions, the "soft key" menu systemmakesit easy to use. Above all, don't be afraid to try different features and functions on the unit. You can't hurt it by pressing buttons! Read this manual and take ft with you the first fewtimes you use your unit. It makes a great reference should you need it. The more you know when you get to the water, the more your GlobalNav can do for you! MOUNTING Install the GlobalNav in anyconvenientlocation,providedthere is clearance behind the unit when it is tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket base allow wood screw or throughbolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to secure the mounting hardware. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and GPS cables. The smallest hole that will pass the GPS module's connector is 9116". After drilling the hole, pass the GPS connector up throughthe hole first, then passthe power cable down through it. After the cables have been routed, fill the hole with a good marine sealingcompound. Offset the bracket to coverthe hole. POWER CONNECTIONS The GlobalNav works from a twelve-volt battery system only. You can attach the powercable to an accessoryor power buss, however if you have problems with electrical interference, then attach the power cable directlyto the battery. If the cable is not long enough, splice#18 gauge wire onto it. PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor I The power cable has three wires; red, white, and black. Red is the posilive lead, black is negativeor ground. Attach the in-line fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible. For example, if you haveto extendthe power cable to the battery or power buss, attach the fuse holder directly to the battery or power buss. This will protect both the unit and the powercable inthe eventof a short. Thewhitewire is for a NMEA interface. The GlobalNavsendsdata for anotherelectronic navigation devices through this wire. If the white wire is not used, tape the end so that it cannotshort. To connect a device to the GlobalNav's NMEA output, attach a shielded,twisted pair cable fromthedevice's NMEA intputto the white wire on the GlobalNav's power cable. Solderthe ground conductor of the twisted pair and the shield to the black wire on the power cable. Do not connectthe shield to the other device. See the other instrument'smanual for more wiring instructions.

The GlobalNav automatically sends NMEA data out the while wire once it acquires and 'locks on" to the satellites. GPS MODULE INSTALLATION The GPS module can be installed on a flat surface or (with the suppliedadapter) on a pole. Mount the module in an area that guarantees a clear view of the sky at all times. In order for the module to receive the signals from the satellites, it must not be obstructed. An ideal location is on a cabin roof, or deck. The gunnels also make a good location. Attachingthe pole mounting adapter lets you install the module on a one inch mast. A high location is preferred. However, for lightning protection, the antenna shouln'lbe the highest part of the boat. Surface Mounting - With Access If you have access underneath the mounting surface, use the gasket suppliedwith the GPS module as a template. Drill four 7/32" holesand one 9/16" hole for themodule's cable. Attachthe cable to the module and pass it down through the hole in the gasket and the mounting surface. Use #10-32 machine screws (not included) to fastenthe GPS moduleto the mountingsurface.

Next, pass the cable throughthe pole mountingadapter. Attach the adapter to the GPS module with thefourstainlesssteel screws supplied with the GlobalNav. Now pass the cable through the mounting pipe. The mounting adapter is threaded for standard 1"-14 machine thread. (Not pipethread.) Thread the mountingpipe onto the GPS module/pole adapter assembly. After tightening the threads, install the supplied set screw into the front of the pole mounting adapter and tighten it. This should preventthe GPS modulefrom unscrewing fromthe pole.

These include engine alternators and wiring harness,spark plug wires, and power generators. Some VHF radio antennas and their cables also radiate noise when transmitting. Bilge pumps are usually very noisy when operating. It's importantto keep the GlobalNav'scables awayfrom these items, also.

MAN OVERBOARD Oneof boating's'mostterrifying events is havinga friend or family member fall overboard. This situation can be deadly on any body of water, fresh or salt. It's particularly dangerous at night or if you're out of sight 01 land. Of Oourse, the first thing to do is remain calm and try all standard safety measures to try and rescue the person. If you lose sight of the person, you can use the GlobalNav to initiate a searchpattern. Once you're back at the helm after initial rescue efforts have failed, press the GlobalNav's Waypoint Quicksave key. This instantly stores your present positionin memory. Memorizethe waypoint number that appears at the top of the screen! Now press the WaypointRecall key. Pressthe key next to the 'Vest. Waypt Num." near the bottom of the screen. A new menu appears. Enter the waypoint number that you just saved, then press the key adjacent to the "ENTER" label. This recalls the waypoint you stored, causingthe GlobalNav to show navigation information back to that waypoint. The Arrival alarm will sound since you're within ft's radius, either ignoreit or pressthe CLEAR key to silence it. Using the unit in this manner lets you start a search pattern for the victim from a known location. Switching to the plotter on the .05 mile range makes it easierto see your positionrelative to the accident area. Remember, saving the victim is the primarygoal. Try all options to rescue the person immediately after the accident happens. Training and education are also good accident preventatives. The CoastGuard has excellent safetycourses. Instruct all members on board your boat on safetyprocedures before leaving the dock. Make certain all on board know what to do before any emergencyoccurs. ON - The ON key turns the GlobalNav on. WAYPT QUICKSAVE- Pressing this key instantly saves your presentposition. WAYPOINTSAVE - This feature gives you more waypoint saving options.
