Messages and Unit Settings
The GPS 150XL’s M key provides access to system messages and allows you to
customize the unit to your own preferences through a settings submenu. Whenever the
GPS 150XL needs to alert you to a navigation or system message, the annunciator light
(
U) next to the M key will flash. Some messages are advisory in nature (e.g., the arrival
and countdown alarms), while others may require your immediate attention (e.g., poor
GPS coverage). For a complete list of GPS 150XL messages, please see Appendix D.
To view a message, press M. Press M again to return to the previous page.
The GPS 150XL’s settings submenu is also accessed from the M key.
To view the settings submenu, press and hold M for more than 2 seconds.

by rotating O with the cursor inactive:

• Nearest airport search • Mag. var./arrival alarm settings
• Battery saver • Display screen settings
• Backlighting settings • Trip timer settings
