match the GPS. Once speed and distance data have been received, the Fuel to
Destination (next waypoint) will be computed instantly and displayed on the FP-
5L.
9. “F. Reserve (Fuel Reserve) Display Mode:
When the right button ("F. RES") is pushed the FP-5L will read the serial
data from your GPS unit and compute the Fuel Reserve for the current condi-
tions: Fuel Flow, Fuel Remaining, Ground Speed and Distance to Destination.
The Fuel Reserve is the fuel you will have in your tank once you reach your
destination (next waypoint) programmed on the GPS unit (Fuel Reserve = Fuel
Remaining - Fuel to Destination). If the fuel required to reach the waypoint is
more than the fuel remaining as shown on the FP-5L, the Low Fuel Warning
LED will come on and the Fuel Reserve will be displayed as a negative number
(i.e., " -3" would mean you are 3 gallons short of reaching your destination).
When the "F. RES" button is pushed it will take from one to two sec-
onds, depending on the update time of your GPS unit, to read and compute the
serial data. If the FP-5L is not receiving data from a GPS, the display will
show "
