• When an alarm related to GPS (alarm code "CO or "d") is generated and the true bearing of the gyro-compass has not been determined, once tum the steering mode to "MANUAL" or "Non Follow Up", then determine the true bearing because erroneous bearing information (repeater signal and serial signal) is possible to be outputted to the outside. Refer to "3.4.4 (2) Countermeasures when GPS communication abnormality is generated" in Chapter 3 Operating Method, for determination method of the true bearing .

• When "GYRO" is selected for the latitude input system, latitude is automatically updated by the ship's speed and the gyro-compass true bearing. (When the ship's speed input system is "MANUAL", it is not updated automatically.) During navigation, confirm once in 2 hours that the ship's actual latitude coincides with the indicated latitude.

• When an alarm related to GPS (alarm code "c" or "d") is generated and the true bearing of the gyro-compass has not been determined, once tum the steering mode to "MANUAL" or "Non Follow Up", then determine the true bearing because erroneous bearing information (repeater signal and serial signal) is possible to be outputted to the outside. Refer to "3.4.4 (2) Countermeasures when GPS communication abnormality is generated" in Chapter 3 Operating Method, for determination method of the true bearing .

• When alarm regarding to LOG (serial signal) (alann code "P" or "U") is generated and the true bearing of the gyro-compass has not been determined, once tum the steering mode to "MANUAL" or "Non Follow Up", then determined the true bearing because the erroneous bearing infonnation (repeater signal and serial Signal) is possible to be outputted to the outside.
