The last field in this menu is
CONFIG DST. This feature allows your unit
to automatically adjust with the time change caused by Daylight Sav-
ing Time. You should only have to set it once.
You may select which set of rules matches DST in your region, or ac-
cept the default. Once you have each field set the way you want, press
EXIT repeatedly until you return to the previous page.
Show WAAS Alarm
When the signal is available, the unit will automatically use WAAS to
boost the accuracy of your position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or
acquired, an alarm message appears. It's not unusual for a GPS/WAAS
receiver to frequently lose and reacquire its lock on a WAAS satellite.
That can result in the alarm repeatedly going on and off. If you want,
you have the option of turning off the WAAS Acquired/Lost alarm
without affecting how the unit uses WAAS. Here's how:
1. Press
MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT| to SHOW WAAS ALARM.
2. With the option highlighted, press
ENT to uncheck it (turn off) and
check it (turn on.) After the option is set, press
EXIT|EXIT to return to
the page display.
3. You can return to this command and press
ENT again to turn the fea-
ture on.
