Chapter 2: General Operation and System Setup 35
Units...
Set the units for speed, depth, and temperature that are
used to display all data, including information received
from other instruments on the system.
Note:
The A60 sets its internal clock from the GPS.
Therefore, time of day is not available until a GPS fix is
acquired. After this initial fix, the A60 continues to up-
date its internally stored time of day, even if GPS fix is
lost. Upon power down, however, time of day is lost.
