GPS and DGPS Signal Indicators:
The unit automatically searches for available signals.
Red light = no available signal

Differential Corrections (DGPS)
The differential correction type is selected from two
GPS applications (SBAS or e-DifTM) loaded into the
receiver. You can change the correction type via the
CORRECTION TYPE item in the Service menu.
NOTE: After turning power on to the Outback S-Lite,
the system may need to track GPS satellites for 10
minutes before differential corrections can be
generated. The vehicle may be moving or stationary
during this time.
While tracking, the Outback
S-Lite will show the GPS light
and will display the number of
satellites being tracked.
Once the unit is finished tracking,
the DGPS light will show and
READY will be displayed.
