Garmin 76csx Scheda Rapida Di Riferimento

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

are starting up for the first time or you have moved over 600 

miles since last using the GPSMAP 76CSx, it must initialize 

(determine its location by searching for satellites that are in 

position over your current location). Press MENU to open 

the Satellite Page Options Menu and mark your approximate 

location on the Map Page, so it looks for only those satellites 

above your location.

1.   Turn on the GPSMAP 76CSx by pressing and 

releasing the 

POWER key. A Welcome Page briefly 

appears before opening the Satellite Page. 

2.   On the Satellite Page, GPS messages appear at the 

top of the page.

  •  “Acquiring Satellites” message appears as the 

GPSMAP 76CSx begins to search for satellites 

overhead.

  •  Your Location Coordinates appear when four or 

more satellites are fixed (enough to determine an 

approximate elevation as well as ground location).

The Map Page shows a detailed map of the area around 

your current location. You can view your progress when 

moving or navigating to a chosen destination. The 

IN and 

OUT keys allow you to change the map scale. Optional 

user-defined data fields provide navigation information.

The GPSMAP 76CSx requires two 

AA batteries (not included), which are 

located in the back of the unit under the 

D-Ring. Alkaline or NiMH batteries 

can be used (see the Owner’s Manual 

for setting the battery type). Stored data 

is not lost when batteries are removed. 

Install the batteries, observing the proper 

polarity. A polarity diagram can be 

found molded into the battery compartment. Extensive use 

of backlighting, WAAS, and key beep tones can significantly 

reduce battery life.
