![About calculating positionThe GPS receiver acquires signals from GPS satellites. It calculates its position by the orbit information of the GPS satellites and needs to measure the distance between itself and three or more GPS satellites to obtain a reliable posi-tion. The GPS receiver acquires all available satellites when it is first powered up, powered off for a long time, or powered up again at a place a long way from when it was last powered off. Normally, it takes approximately 1 minute for de-termining a position.In places where the GPS signals cannot reach the GPS receiver, such as around tall buildings, it may show position errors (misplacement) or no position reading at all.As the satellites are continuously moving, mea-surement of the position or time by the GPS receiver may take a while, and/or no position reading can be made in some instances. Even if the GPS receiver acquires signals from three or more GPS satellites, it may take a longer time to determine a position depending on the satellite locations.About Almanac and Ephemeris DataTo reduce the time for calculating position, the GPS receiver stores the Almanac Data (the orbit course/orbital parameters of the satellites) in its internal memory. When the GPS receiver is left with the power OFF for a long time, it needs to acquire the Almanac Data again. In this case, the GPS receiver starts as a “cold” start.The GPS receiver stores Ephemeris Data of the satellite’s orbital course, and refers to this data when it is turned OFF for a short time.This is called a “hot” start, and uses the Ephem-eris Data that is valid to within less than 4 hours.1-1-32 Kamiminami, Hirano-ku, Osaka 547-0003, Japan.

In those cases, the GPS receiver sends the last memorized NMEA sentence, but the sentence may also in-clude invalid data.ï Mounting locationsThe GPS receiver should be mounted in a location that has a clear, unobstructed view in all directions and as far away from interfer-ence as possible, for the best reception. When selecting a mounting location, follow the guide-lines below.- The location should be at least 1 m (3.28 ft.) away from a VHF/UHF antenna, and 4 m (13.12 ft.) away from a MF/HF antenna.- The location should be at least 5 m (16.40 ft.) away from an Inmarsat antenna.- Be sure the location is out of the radar beam.- Be sure the location will not be shaded by a random antenna or mast.- Mount the GPS receiver as high as possible.We recommend that you place the GPS receiv-er in the desired location temporarily, and see if it receives any interference.ï InstallationThe supplied extension pipe is to be inserted firmly into the base of the GPS receiver and screwed in a clockwise direction.Using the supplied hose clamps, the GPS receiver can be stabilized to the mounting mast.Prior to any operation, it is important to make sure that all connections are made accurately. All connections should be made only by certi-fied persons.The output connector is to be connected from the GPS receiver to the GPS data input terminal of the MarineCommander™.CONNECTIONHose clamps(Supplied)MarineCommander™MXP-5000MXG-5000[GPS]](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/322800/User-Guide-1517361-Page-62.png)
