Setup Submenus
The last four options listed on the main menu page provide access to the vari-
ous system, navigation, alarm and interface settings of the sounder. The system
setup submenu is used to select the operating mode, date and time formats, tone
preferences, backlight timeout and display contrast.
• Operational Mode: Lets you select between normal, simulator, sounder only, or
GPS only mode. In the normal mode both GPS and sounder functions operate at
the same time. In simulator mode, the sounder only pretends to track satellites to
allow you to learn how the unit works. Waypoints and routes created in simulator
mode are saved in memory and are available for use in normal mode.
The sounder only and GPS only modes allow you to determine what type of information
the sounder will give you. GPS only mode is useful when using the unit for land naviga-
tion while enroute to the water. Sounder only mode is an option if you do not want GPS
information (such as position, speed, heading, and map functions) while on the water.
