Garmin 101 Owner's Manual

53

Select from the following modes:

Normal: The GPS receiver is always ‘ON’ when it’s in ‘NORMAL’ mode.  The normal mode 
is more responsive to sudden turns or change of speed/acceleration.  
WAAS: The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability produces a more accurate 
position fix.  When enabled, the unit searches for a WAAS satellite near your location and 
then receives data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite signals and the WAAS 
satellite numbers (beginning at No. 33 or above) display on the Satellite Page.  It is helpful 
to orient the unit antenna toward the WAAS satellite shown in the skyview.  To learn more 
about the WAAS System, access the Federal Aviation Administration Web site  at  
http://gps.faa.gov. 
Battery Save: When the Foretrex 101 is in ‘BATTERY SAVE’ mode, the GPS receiver turns 
on and off alternatively to conserve power.
Demo: The ‘DEMO’ mode is designed for dealers to show the features and functions of the 
Foretrex 101 to potential customers inside a closed building where satellite reception is not 
possible.  There is no navigation possible in ‘DEMO’ mode.  If you select the ‘DEMO’ mode, 
a window displays at the bottom of the screen asking you to verify that you want to turn the 
GPS off (the unit will stop tracking satellites, but not power off).
Off: To turn the GPS receiver off, select ‘OFF’ for the ‘GPS MODE’ setting.

Enter up to three lines of owner information, such as your contact information in case 

your unit is lost.  You can select to display the information at power up or not display the 
information at power up.
