Message Page
The message page is used to display all messages in
the GPS 120XL. There are two types of messages: tem-
porary alerts (e.g. approaching a waypoint) and condi-
tion alerts (e.g., battery power is low). All messages are
indicated by a flashing on-screen box. After a tempo-
rary alert has been viewed, it is cleared. Condition
alerts are displayed on the message page until the con-
dition has been resolved.
To view the message page:
