Cancelling a GOTO
If you decide to stop navigating to the active waypoint, all
you have to do is cancel the GOTO.

Clearing a Cluttered Map Display
After you have used the GPS 12CX a few times, you
may find that the display has become cluttered with old
track log information. The track log is the bread crumb
trail that you left on the screen. It is generally a good
idea to start a trip with a clean track log, so for practice,
lets clear the track log we created during this tour.
1. Press PAGE or QUIT until the Map Page is displayed.
2. Press ENTER to display the Map Setup Page.
3. Highlight ‘TRACK SETUP’ and press ENTER .
4. Highlight ‘CLEAR LOG?’ and press ENTER .
5. Highlight ‘YES’ on the Warning Page and press ENTER .
Screen Backlighting
The GPS 12CX has thee levels of screen backlighting
available for use, OFF, LOW, and HI. After being acti-
vated, the backlighting will remain on for the amount of
time specified on the System Setup Page (See page 38).
To activate the screen backlighting:
1. Briefly press the POWER key twice to activate the
first level (low, one bulb), or three times to activate
the second level (hi, two bulbs).
Either one or two bulb icons will be displayed along
the bottom of the Contrast Adjustment Page, indicating
the level of screen backlighting that you have activated.
Turning off the Receiver
You have now gone through the basic operation of
your new unit and probably know a little more than
you think about how it works. We encourage you to
experiment with the GPS 12CX until it becomes an ex-
tension of your own navigation skills. If you encounter
any problems using the unit or want to take advantage
of the more advanced features, turn to the reference sec-
tion starting on page 9.
To turn the GPS 12CX off:
1. Press and hold the POWER key for 3 seconds.
