No fix
Possible causes Possible solutions
No GNSS (GPS) receiver connected. In order to obtain a position fix your product requires a GNSS (GPS) receiver. Your product may include an
internal GNSS (GPS) receiver, if not then an external GNSS (GPS) receiver such as the RS150 is required.
No antenna connected to GNSS (GPS) receiver. Depending on variant, your product may include an internal GNSS (GPS) receiver. The receiver may or may not
include an internal antenna. If your product’s internal GNSS (GPS) receiver does not include an internal antenna
then you will need to connect an external passive antenna to the GNSS (GPS) / GA150 connection.
GNSS (GPS) Antenna location. For optimum performance, external GNSS (GPS) antennas and GNSS (GPS) receivers that include an internal
antenna should be mounted above decks and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, and not be in close
proximity to any structural bulkheads or other electrical equipment or cables which may cause interference.
GNSS (GPS) switched off. Ensure your internal GNSS (GPS) receiver is switched on in the relevant settings menu.
Geographic location or prevailing conditions preventing
satellite fix.
Check periodically to see if a fix is obtained in better conditions or another geographic location.
