Installing Batteries Ẅ ẅ
Your GPS 100 operates on two standard AA batteries (not included). Always
use high-quality alkaline batteries. To install batteries, twist the D-ring
connector counterclockwise (anticlockwise) and remove the battery
compartment cover. Insert two AA batteries ensuring correct polarity
alignment. Replace the battery compartment cover and twist the D-ring
clockwise to lock.
As an optional power source, an Automotive Power Adapter (not included,
see “Optional Accessories”, page 47) can be used with your GPS 100.
Using the Buttons
You can access all features of your GPS 100 by using three buttons. After
reading the general explanations below, please refer to “Using the Map
Page,” page 9, to begin using the buttons to operate your unit.
The POWER Button Ẅ
Pressing and holding the POWER button for 2 seconds will turn the device
on or off.
With the unit turned on, pressing and releasing the POWER button will turn
on the display backlight. The display will remain lit until no buttons have
been pushed for 15 seconds (for more details, see page 31).
The PAGE Button ẅ
Pressing and releasing the PAGE button allows you to cycle through the five
main pages (described in the next section). If you have proceeded to one of
the menus (described later in this manual), the PAGE button is an “escape”
key, allowing you to exit the menu and return to the main page. At any
time, press and hold the PAGE button for 2 seconds to display the Page List
menu. From this menu you can go directly to any main page.
The ZOOM IN/OUT Button Ẇ
When a map is displayed, you can use the ZOOM IN/OUT button to zoom in
or zoom out on the image of the map. Also, whenever you see a menu of
selections, using the ZOOM IN/OUT button allows you to scroll through the
selections displayed. A side scroll bar next to a menu indicates that more
selections can be viewed by scrolling beyond the bottom or top of the list
that is currently visible.

The ENTER Button ẇ
Pressing and releasing the ENTER button accepts a highlighted selection.
The ENTER button can also be used as a Waypoint
shortcut. To mark a new waypoint using current location, press and

Turning the Power On Ẉ ẉ
To turn on your GPS 100, press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds.
A start-up screen appears for a few seconds, followed by a screen that shows
that the unit is attempting to lock onto signals from GPS satellites. Once
three satellite signals have been acquired, the screen will automatically
switch to the Map page and the unit is ready to use.
NOTE: The unit must be outside with a clear view of the sky to acquire
satellite signals for navigation.
To turn the power off, press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds.
Powersaver Mode Ẋ ẋ
If you wish to save battery power while using just the non-navigational
features of your unit, you can turn GPS navigation off. To do so, select “No”
and press the ENTER button before the screen automatically changes to the
Map page.
In Powersaver Mode, no GPS functions will be available until you turn GPS
back on. To do so, please refer to page 33 of this manual.
