If you want the iFINDER to record your altitude as well, you must cali-

track your altitude with its built-in altimeter.
You can use the arrow keys to move back and forth through the avail-
able pressure history. Use

readings, or
→ to move forward in time. The exact value of the selected
reading is displayed on screen. You can also use
↑ to switch to altitude
values, position values, or
↓ to return to atmospheric pressure values.
Sleep Mode
We've designed the iFINDER with a Sleep Mode that allows it to con-
serve battery life, while occasionally waking up just enough to take
pressure readings for the altimeter and weather prediction. This allows
the unit to continue to build an accurate history even when you're not
actively using it.
There are a couple of ways to enable Sleep Mode. If you're viewing the
Digital Data page, press
MENU
and select

Sleep mode can be activated from any page by holding down the

When the iFINDER is in Sleep Mode, you can return to normal operation
by pressing

briefly display the compass reading, without reactivating the entire unit.
Instant-On Compass
When the iFINDER is in Sleep Mode, you can still quickly check your
compass bearing by pressing and holding the
PAGES
key. This activates
the screen and shows the current Compass display, including your cur-
rent heading and any information you are displaying in the customiza-
ble data boxes. As soon as you release the
