The alarm message
NO GPS POSITION FIX
is shown in the
RECENT ALARMS
box. This message is a normal part of using a
958 for the first time, and advises you that the 958 is acquiring
the necessary satellite information. This situation usually
occurs in a 958 that’s been shipped more than several

in the upper right corner tells you this message

page 25, and see ”Understanding alarms” starting on page 144.
