Note: A display page briefly appears indicating the DAGR software and hardware versions.

2. Verify Power-On Status Message.

Note: Following power-on, if any of the following conditions exist, a message requiring operator acknowledgement appears. If an AN/PSN-13A or
an AN/PSN-13B DAGR is not loaded with CV keys, two messages must be acknowledged after power-on that warn the user to load CV keys. After this,
a third warning message must be acknowledged every ten minutes until the DGR is loaded with CV keys. This is normal operation if the DAGR is not
loaded with CV keys, the DAGR is not defective.

If any error messages appear, refer to TM 11-5820-1172-13&P.

a. Confirm SELF TEST has PASSED/FAIL and Battery Used/Left.

Note: Self Test is always displayed. Battery Used/Left is displayed using internal primary battery power only.

b. Confirm POWER and DAYS REMAINING.

Note: POWER indicates external power being used. Displayed when external power only.

Days Remaining, if CVw or BCVm (black CV monthly) key is loaded, indicates days remaining in mission; and also indicates if enough CV keys are
loaded for mission duration.

3. Acquire Current Position.

Note: If the DAGR has been customized and SV Sky View page is not included in the POS page set, then the DAGR uses the SV Sky View page of
the Satellite submenu page set. While the SV Sky View page is displayed, the operator can push and hold the POS key to manually go to the Present
Position page.

If the DAGR is not tracking satellites, the display will blink and the Present Position page displays the last position recorded by the receiver before
being turned off.

After the Power-On Status display times out or is acknowledged, the DAGR displays the SV (Satellite Vehicle) Sky View page with satellite acquisition
status appearing at the top. Initially, status is displayed as Acquiring SVs..., followed by Navigating. After DAGR has acquired current position, the unit
automatically switches to the Present Position page of the POS page set and displays position coordinates. During satellite acquisition, the PAGE or
QUIT keys can be used to access the Present Position page.

4. View the SV Sky View Page.

Note: The SV Sky View is part of the POS page set containing commonly used pages. The page displays information on visible and tracked
satellites.

5. View the Present Position Page.

6. Adjust the Keypad/Display Lighting.

Note: This adjustment method is also made by highlighting the Display Lighting field, pushing the ENTER key, then using editing techniques to
change the display lighting value.

a. Push the MENU key twice to display Main Menu.

 CAUTION
When position data fields blink between black and gray text, the DAGR is not tracking satellites or has not yet
acquired present position. Field data may be inaccurate when the DAGR does not have a position fix. Be
sure the DAGR has an open view of the sky. Current position is necessary before accurate navigation of
waypoints and routes can be accomplished.

7. Perform Manual Initialization.

CAUTION
If expecting to operate in conditions where tracking satellites is not possible (such as entering a cave), the
DAGR should be placed in Standby mode prior to entering these conditions. If done, the DAGR performs a
direct Y- code acquisition (if keyed) when set back to a tracking mode in unobscured conditions. If the DAGR
is left in a tracking ,ode for a period of one hour while obscured, the ability to perform direct Y-code
reacquisitions may be lost. To correct this, cycle the DAGR to Standby mode and back to a tracking mode.

When attempting to acquire satellites after the signals have been blocked for a period of time (e.g,, When
exiting a cave), acquisition time may be improved by momentarily cycling the unit to Standby mode and then
back to the previous operating mode.
