Garmin 60cx Anleitung Für Quick Setup

Start-Up and Satellite Acquisition

Find a location where you have a clear view of the sky. If you’re 

starting up for the first time or you have moved over 600 miles since 
last using the GPSMAP 60Cx, it must initialize (determine its loca-
tion by searching for satellites that are in position over your current 
location.) Press the MENU key to use the Location option from the 
Satellite Page Options Menu to mark your approximate location on 
the Map Page so it looks for only those satellites above your location.

1. Turn On the GPSMAP 60Cx by pressing and releasing the  

  POWER key. A Welcome Page will briefly appear before  

  moving to the Satellite Page. 
2. Observe the Satellite Page and the GPS status messages  

  as they appear at the top of the page.
  •  “Acquiring Satellites” message appears as the GPSmap  

      60C begins to search for satellites overhead.
  •  Your “Location Coordinates” display when four or    

      more satellites are fixed (enough to determine an ap- 

     proximate elevation as well as ground location).

                   Key Function

The GPSMAP 60Cx operates on two “AA” batteries (not includ-

ed), which are located in the back of the unit. Alkaline or NiMH  
batteries may be used (see the Owner’s Manual to set the battery 
type). Stored data is not lost when the batteries are removed.

Adjusting the Backlighting

Lighting conditions may make it difficult to view the GPSMAP 

60Cx display. If so, you may need to turn on the backlighting and 
adjust it to the desired level of brightness. Use of backlighting 
increases the rate of battery depletion. 

Viewing the Main Pages

The Main Pages provide the information you need for basic 

navigation using the GPSMAP 60Cx. Press the PAGE key repeat-
edly to cycle from one Main Page to another.

1. With the GPSMAP 60Cx On, press and  

  release the POWER key to display the  

  Backlight Adjustment Slider.
2. Press and release the POWER key to  

  increase the brightness level to maximum.
3. Allow the Adjustment Slider to close on  

  its own or press the ENTER key. 
The backlight is factory set to timeout in 15 

seconds, unless connected to an external power 
source. Refer to Display Setup in the Owner’s 
Manual to change the timeout period for the 
backlight.
