BASIC OPERATION

Initializing the Receiver

The ﬁrst time you turn on the GPSMAP 198C Sounder, the receiver

must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and establish

its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP

198C Sounder is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate Mode.

Before you initialize, make sure the GPSMAP 198C Sounder unit

and antenna are correctly installed on your vessel according to the

instructions in the “Appendix.” Install the antenna in a location

with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky.

A full-screen GPS Information Page is shown after you press

ENTER to acknowledge the Warning Page. The page goes away

after the unit gets a position ﬁx or you press either ENTER or

QUIT. The page can be disabled and enabled on the

Main Menu—Pages tab (see page 63).

To turn on the GPSMAP 198C Sounder:

1. Press and hold the POWER key until the power tone

sounds, then release the POWER key. The Warning Page

appears while the unit conducts a self-test.

2. When the self-test is complete, press ENTER to agree and

acknowledge the warning.

The GPS Information Page appears as the receiver begins acquiring

satellites.

To turn off the GPSMAP 198C Sounder:

1. Press and hold the POWER key for about two seconds,

until the screen is blank.

2. When the screen is blank, release the POWER key.
