1.6 Initial Settings
The initial setup for your SC-70/SC-130 requires the system to be powered. Referring
to the instructions at section 2.2, turn the power on.
For the sake of brevity, the following terminology is used.
When the unit is powered for the first time, it is in a “cold start” state. There is no sat-
ellite data (almanac data) stored. In this state, the unit searches for, and stores, satel-
lites to find its heading. This process takes approximately 90 seconds. If the heading
is not found within 30 minutes, the antenna installation location may not be suitable.
A lack of visible satellites (less than five) can also prevent the unit from finding a head-
ing. Resolve the problem, then re-check the tracking status.
If the heading error is between 5° and 10°, adjust the antenna unit orientation while
monitoring the heading indication on the SC-702.
Once a heading has been found, the following items may need setting or adjustment:
Note: Some settings are set at installation and are non-selectable (gray in color) from
the menu. These settings require password input. Password input is not covered in the
setting procedures for these items. To adjust these settings, contact your dealer.
