♦ Programming position and time:
A distress call should include the ship's time and position data. If no GPS is connected, your position and UTC time should be input manually.
They are included automatically when a GPS receiver (NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01) is connected.
"??" may blink instead of position and time indications when the GPS data is invalid or has not been manually updated after 4 hours.
In DSC menu, select "POSITION INPUT" function, and then input your north latitude (N), south latitude (S), west longitude (W) and east
longitude (E).
