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 either the 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 fi x is attained and when four or
more satellites have been received (three dimensional fi x).
• Backlighting is Off when you power up the unit. When on, it
uses a signifi cant amount of battery power. This icon displays
when the backlight is functioning.
• Alarm Clock: this icon displays whenever the alarm is set.
• USB cable connection displays when the unit is in communi-
cation with a PC Universal Serial Bus.
You may want to 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 58 for information on changing the display colors and backlight
timeout and brightness levels.
Whenever a signifi cant event in the operation of the unit occurs, an
on-screen message will display 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.
