Garmin GPS 40 - Manual (Page 19)

To enter the time offset:
1. If you are entering a negative offset, press
the L key to move the character highlight to the
+/- field. Press U to select a negative offset.
2. Press the R key to move to each character posi-
tion, and use the U or D keys to enter an off-
set value in each position.
3. Press the E key to confirm your time offset.
4. Press the P key to return to the Menu Page.
Because time zone boundaries do not follow exact
meridians of longitude, there may be some
instances where the offset indicated does not
result in the correct time for your position. Simply
add or subtract the difference from the offset for
the correct time.
You’ve now gone through the basic operation
of your new GPS and probably know a little
more than you think about how it works. We
encourage you to experiment with the GPS 40
until it becomes an extension of your own
navigation skills.
If you encounter any problems using the unit
or want to take advantage of the GPS 40’s
advanced features, refer to the reference section.
To turn the GPS 40 off:
1. Press and hold the B key for 3 seconds.
Thank you for choosing the GPS 40. We hope it
will be a valuable tool for you wherever you travel.
If you’re storing your GPS for an extended period
of time, put in a fresh set of alkaline or lithium bat-
teries. Storing the unit with Ni-Cad batteries may
result in data loss due to the self-discharge char-
acteristics of Ni-Cad batteries.
