Congratulations! You’ve covered the basic operation of the GPS 155XL. We

encourage you to experiment with your new GPS receiver to get to know all the
advanced navigation features it has to offer. If you’d like a little more practice, try
using the built-in simulator described in Appendix C. An optional AC adapter will
even let you plan and simulate flights in the comfort of your home or office.

To turn the GPS 155XL off:

1. Turn the

B

knob to the left until the unit shuts off.

NOTE: The GPS 155XL is normally connected to power through the avionics master
switch. With the optional remote battery installed, the unit will display a power down
warning when the master switch is turned off. This warning page features a timer which
will count down from 30 seconds when the unit senses that power is off. After 30 sec-
onds, the GPS 155XL will shut off. If you wish to continue operating the unit, press
any key during the countdown period, and the GPS 155XL will continue operating
from the backup battery.
