can also enter a name as desired. Entry of a
name is mandatory for locations identified
only by their map coordinates.Entering the location We recommend that you avoid entering
subsequent corrections of your location
unless absolutely necessary. After trans-
port by truck or rail, etc., the GPS receiver
may require several minutes to determine
your current location. You can reduce the
amount of time the system requires to
determine your location by entering it
manually.
To enter your current location:
1.Select and confirm "Location"
2.The procedure for entering your current
location is the same as that used to enter
your destination, refer to page 126.
Once effective GPS reception has
been established it will no longer be
possible to revise your position manually.<

Wordmatch principleYour navigation system features a word-
match system designed to make it easier
for you to enter names. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destina-
tion entries with the data stored on the map
CD as the basis for instant response. The
user benefits include:
>When you make an entry that consists of
more than one word, the system can iden-
tify the name regardless of the sequence in
which you enter the individual words.
Example:
Official version:
J.F. Kennedy Square
Possible entries:
Kennedy Square J.F.
or:
Square J.F. Kennedy
>Names of specific locations can also
vary from the official versions provided that
the spelling of the entry corresponds to a
standard form used in another country.
>When you are entering the names of
cities and streets the system will complete
them automatically as soon as enough
letters are available to ensure unambig-
uous identification.
Example:
For instance, if you were searching for Iowa
Ave NW in Washington, the system could
identify the street as soon as you typed in
the letter "o" and would proceed to
complete the entry automatically
>The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the
map CD. The system will not accept non-
existent names and addresses.What to do if ÉWhat to do if É
>you request the current location of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise
display?
The system is unable to receive enough GPS signals at your current location owing
to obstructions, your location is not yet
available on your CD, or the system is in the
process of calculating your location. Please
wait and then try again later on.
>the GPS logo disappears from the
Control Display screen?
Reception is interrupted; a building or
similar obstruction may be the cause.
>the guidance system refuses to import
an address from the destination directory
as its destination?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. Choose an
address as close as possible to the original
one, using the destination entry map as
required.
>the guidance system adopts an address
without the street?
No specified center is defined for the
selected locality on your CD. Enter any
street, or a destination such as the railway
station, etc., then start the guidance
system.
>you want to enter an address for the
guidance system, but it is not possible to
select the letters for your desired entry?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. In this case, the
system will not offer you any letters to
choose from. Choose an address as close
as possible to the original one, using the
destination entry map as required.
>you attempt to enter a destination
address using the target cursor, but the
guidance system refuses to accept your
entry?
Your current scale does not offer adequate
resolution. The system can only import
destinations at map scales to 0.6 miles
(1 km).
>the system stops furnishing directions
on which way to turn as you approach

RadioSelect the frequency bandYour radio provides reception of FM and
AM wavebands.
AM provides good long-range reception,
as its broadcast signals are not only propa-
gated at ground level as surface waves, but
also reflected from the ionosphere as
atmospheric waves.
FM furnishes substantially better acoustic
quality than AM broadcasts. However,
transmission range is limited, as FM relies
on line-of-sight broadcast signals.
To select waveband:
Select "FM..." or "AM..."
or
1.>>Radio (menu)<<
2.>>FM<< or >>AM<< (>>amplitude
modulation<<).<
Each time you confirm "AM" the
system alternately switches between
the AM waveband and the "Autostore"
mode.
Each time you confirm "FM" the system alternately switches between "Memorized
Station" and the "Autostore" mode.<

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ð
NOAA Ð of the U.S. Department of
Commerce. Weather messages are
repeated every four to six minutes and are
routinely revised every one to three hours,
or more frequently if needed. Most of the
stations operate 24 hours daily. During
severe weather, National Weather Service
forecasters can interrupt the routine
weather broadcasts and substitute special
warning messages. If you have a question
concerning NOAA Weather Radio, please
