Important Alarm Notes:
Anchor Alarm - Since civilian users don’t receive the accuracy given to
military users, the anchor alarm may be triggered even when you’re
sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than .05 mile)
anchor alarm ranges. If you have a DGPS beacon receiver connected
to the Eagle Explorer, smaller ranges may be usable.
Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm’s distance to zero (0), and
you run a route (see the routes section), the Eagle Explorer may not
show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first
one. If you use the routes feature, never set the arrival alarm to zero.
MESSAGES
On the GPS Alarms menu are the position and DGPS message selec-
tions. When turned on, the position message appears for a few seconds
whenever the Eagle Explorer locks onto the satellites and shows a posi-

cannot navigate. Pressing the EXIT key erases
these messages.
The DGPS message appears whenever the unit
begins or stops using DGPS data to help deter-
mine your position.
The default setting for these messages is “on”. To
turn either message off, select the “Setup Alarms”
menu from the main menu, then move the black
box to the desired message and press the left
arrow key. Press the EXIT key to erase this screen.

This is useful for trip planning.
To use the simulator, press the MENU key, then press the up or down
arrow keys until the “Simulator Setup” menu is surrounded by the black
