The Main Page Features

Status Bar, Backlighting and On-Screen Messages
At the top of each page, a Status Bar (which is always displayed)
provides current status information for several unit features.

• Power to the unit is provided by batteries or from an auxiliary

source (AC or DC Adapter). The Battery Power icon displays the
remaining power as the battery becomes depleted.

• Satellite signal status is shown when searching for (acquiring)

satellites, when a two-dimensional fix is attained and when four or
more satellites have been received (three dimensional fix).

• Backlighting is Off when you power up the unit. When On, it

uses a significant amount of battery power. This icon displays
when the backlight is functioning.

• The Alarm Clock icon displays whenever the Alarm is set.
• The USB cable icon displays when the unit is in communi-

cation with a PC Universal Serial Bus.

You can adjust the backlight level by pressing down on the POWER
key and releasing. Then tap the POWER key or ROCKER key Up/Down
arrows to cycle through the levels of backlight adjustment. See page 46
for information on changing the display colors and backlight timeout
and brightness levels.
Whenever a significant event in the operation of the unit occurs, an
on-screen message appears to advise you of the occurrence. In each case,
the condition is described and often a remedy provided. Pressing the

ENTER key acknowledges the message and closes the window.
