Table 3: Operating Conditions
2.8 1PPS Output
The GPS receiver is in navigation mode upon power-up, with 1PPS output free running. After 3
minutes of valid position fix and remaining under static-mode, the receiver changes to timing-
mode, with 1PPS output signal synchronized to the UTC second. The receiver will change to
navigation-mode, with 1PPS output free running, if the receiver is in motion. The 1PPS output
will become synchronized to the UTC second again after the receiver had remained in static
mode for 3 minutes.
