System Page

The System Setup Page allows you to change:
GPS - Choose one of the four GPS options other than 

‘Normal’ to significantly save battery power. The ‘Battery 
Saver’ mode reduces the rate of satellite signal position 
updating and the ‘Use With GPS Off’ option stops satellite 
signal reception altogether. The ‘Demo Mode’ simulates 
navigation. 

WAAS - Switch between ‘Enabled’ and ‘Disabled’. See 

page 5 for an explanation of WAAS capabilities.

Language - Change the display to any of 14 choices.
Compass - Turns the Electronic Compass on or off.
Altimeter - Turns the Automatic Calibration for the 

Altimeter on or off. Selecting ‘Auto Calibration On’ for the 
Altimeter allows the unit to provide a fairly accurate read-
ing within minutes of obtaining a 3D fix without requir-
ing you to remain stationary. The accuracy improves 
over time as the barometric pressure is compared to GPS 
information.

Also shown on this page is the Amount of Memory 

Used, Power Status, Time, Date, and Backlighting Status.

The ‘Memory Used’ figure refers to the non-volatile 

memory within your unit and cannot be adjusted directly. 
Saving a number of track logs and waypoints may affect 
the percentage but normally will not cause any problems. 

The ‘Power Status’ icon changes from a “battery” to 

an “electric plug” when external power is connected. The 
‘Backlight’ icon changes from a dark outline to a “bright” 
outline when you press and release the POWER button.

The Option Menu allows you restore defaults or 

display the current version of unit operating software and 
the Unit I.D. Number. 

  Use the THUMB STICK to highlight the field 

and then press in to display options. Then use the 
THUMB STICK to select.
