off the GPS connection using the Disable GPS option in the Satellites menu.

2. Use the arrow keypad to highlight Disable GPS.
3. Press ENTER. GPS OFF displays in the upper-left corner of the screen and all satellites are
removed from the constellation display.
Notes:
• You can also disable the
GPS using the Device Setup/
System menu option. Select
Disable GPS from the GPS
Settings drop-down list.
• When GPS has been
disabled, you can enable it
by pressing MENU and then
selecting Enable GPS.
• GPS is temporarily disabled
when in simulate mode (dur-
ing track playback, navigation
simulation, and so on).
• If the Earthmate GPS PN-20
is unable to acquire a fix after
approximately ten minutes,
you will see the following
message, “Would you like
to disable the GPS or contin-
uesearching for satellites?”
Select Disable to disable
GPS or Continue to allow
the Earthmate GPS PN-20 to
keep searching for satellites.

the correct battery type in the
Device Setup Page, the battery
indicator may not provide accu-
