The System Page shows you the unit’s current GPS Mode, Language, and Software Version.
Mode
You can choose from four modes of GPS operation: Normal, WAAS, Battery Save, or Demo
(Demonstration).
• Normal Mode - ‘NORMAL’ mode means the GPS is active and running whenever the
unit is powered on.
• WAAS Mode - WAAS is designed to improve the overall accuracy and integrity of the
GPS signal. ‘WAAS’ mode utilizes more battery power than regular mode. For more
information, see “What is WAAS?” on Page 44.
• Battery Save Mode - ‘BATTERY SAVE’ mode optimizes the GPS receiver’s power
consumption. In this mode, the GPS is updated less frequently, thus reducing the amount
of power consumed.
• Demo Mode - The ‘DEMO’ mode is designed to demonstrate the features and functions
of the eTrex inside a closed building where satellite reception is not possible. There is no
navigation possible in ‘DEMO’ mode, but you can simulate many of the unit’s functions.
If you select the ‘DEMO’ mode, a window appears asking you to verify that you want to
turn the GPS receiver off (this does not power off the unit). To do so, press
ENTER.
To select an operating mode:
1. From the MENU Page, highlight ‘SETUP,’ then press ENTER. The SETUP Page appears.
2. Press the
UP or DOWN button to highlight ‘SYSTEM.’ Press ENTER. The SYSTEM Page
appears.
3. Press the
UP or DOWN button to highlight ‘GPS.’ Press ENTER. The Option List appears.
4. Press the
UP or DOWN button to highlight the desired mode and press ENTER.
Turn the GPS receiver to ‘BATTERY SAVE’ mode to
conserve power.
When the unit is in ‘DEMO’ mode, a warning appears
indicating that the GPS receiver is turned off.
