6.14.3 System Settings

Backlight - lets you keep the screen/keypad back-

lighting on continuously (‘always on’) when selected, or
enable the automatic shutoff to preserve battery life.
Automatic shutoff times from 15 seconds to 4 minutes
(since last key press) are available.

To set the backlight time out:

1. Highlight the ‘Backlight’ field and press ENTER.
2. To keep backlighting on continuously, select ‘Always On’

and press ENTER, or:

3. To set a time out duration, select the desired time period

and press ENTER.

Contrast - lets you adjust the screen for optimum

viewing in all lighting conditions. Screen contrast is set
using an on-screen bar scale. Contrast can also be set
from the Satellite Status Page, as described on page 12.

To set the screen contrast:

1. Highlight the ‘Contrast’ field and press ENTER.
2. Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys on the ARROW Rocker Pad to

select desired level and press ENTER.

Ignition Power Off - is used to turn off the

NavTalk unit after a timed interval when used with the
Vehicular Adapter (Hands-Free) Kit whenever the vehicle
ignition is turned off. It can be set for ‘Always On’, ‘30
seconds’, ‘30 minutes’, or ‘8 Hours’. This allows for auto-
mated features like Auto-Pager and Auto-Data calls to be
recorded while you’re away from the NavTalk and also
protects the vehicle battery from unecessary discharge.

Power Saver - is used to conserve battery power

by reducing the frequency of satellite position updating
resulting in increased battery life (depending on the
frequency of phone calls). GPS receiver accuracy is not
seriously compromised. Highlight the field and press

ENTER to turn on or off.

Remote Command - allows your location to be

remotely queried by another NavTalk unit or another
DTMF capable device (i.e. PC modem). You can
“Enabled” or “Disable” this feature depending on the
level of privacy you desire. Refer to Section 5, Page 53
for more information.
