2.7 OPERATING MODES
Three modes are available which will allow you to operate your GPS 75
in the way which best suits your needs (see Section 6.1).
Normal mode is most suitable for high dynamics applications. The GPS
75 will typically operate up to 5 hours on a single pack of alkaline
batteries, or 6 hours using the rechargeable battery pack.
Battery Saver mode is suitable for most applications and will extend
the battery life to 7 hours on a single pack of alkaline batteries, or 9 hours
using the rechargeable battery pack.
Simulator mode allows you to simulate the operation of the GPS 75
while at home or in your office. The simulator mode can be used while
learning to use your GPS 75 and is ideal for planning routes and entering
waypoints. Keep in mind that the GPS 75 is not tracking satellites in the
simulator mode. YOU SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE THE
SIMULATOR MODE FOR ACTUAL NAVIGATION.
If you are using your GPS 75 for the first time, you are encouraged to
review Chapter 3 which introduces the GPS 75's basic features, and
Chapter 6 on custom setups. Afterward, you may want to read through
the rest of this manual and make further use of the built-in simulator to
practice with the advanced features.
