Getting Started

Status Bar

At the top of each Main Page is a status bar, which provides informa-

tion about several GPS 60 features. A table of status bar icons and defini-

tions appears to the left.

Backlighting and Contrast

The backlight comes on so you can see the screen clearly. To turn on

the backlight, press and release the POWER key. Thereafter, each time

you press a key, the backlight turns on automatically. Keep in mind that

excessive use of backlighting can significantly drain your battery power.

You can increase the screen contrast to compensate for low backlight

levels if you wish. See p. 41 for information on changing the backlight

timeout setting.

To adjust backlighting and contrast:

1. From any page, press and release the

POWER

key.

2. Press the

ROCKER

key up or down to increase or decrease screen

brightness.

3. Press the

ROCKER

key left or right to change screen contrast. Press

to exit.
