The System Page allows you to choose from four modes of operation (Normal, WAAS,
Battery Save, Demo), change the language display, choose a battery type, include owner
information, and view the software version on your unit.
GPS Mode
The GPS receiver is always ‘ON’ when it’s in ‘NORMAL’ mode. The normal mode is more
responsive to sudden turns or change of speed/acceleration.
When the Geko 201 is in ‘BATTERY SAVE’ mode, the GPS receiver turns on and off
alternatively to conserve power and the WAAS function is turned off. The battery type
choice also can affect battery life; choose between ‘ALKALINE’ and ‘NIMH’ depending upon
the type you are using.
The ‘DEMO’ mode is designed for dealers to show the features and functions of the
Geko 201 to potential customers inside a closed building where satellite reception is not
possible. There is no navigation possible in ‘DEMO’ mode. If you select the ‘DEMO’ mode, a
window displays at the bottom of the screen asking you to verify that you want to turn the
GPS off (the unit will stop tracking satellites, but not power off).
To change the GPS mode:
1. From the MENU Page press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight the ‘SYSTEM’ fi eld.
Press the OK Button to display the SYSTEM Page.
2. Press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight ‘GPS MODE’ fi eld and press the OK Button.
3. Press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight your selection and press the OK Button.
4. Press the PAGE Button to return to the SYSTEM Page.

mately ten minutes of battery
