ones listed above. Do not mix different
types of batteries. (For example, don’t
use both alkaline and ni-cad batteries at
the same time.)
Battery Installation
First turn the unit so that its back is fac-
ing you. Push the two tabs to the left and
remove the battery cover as shown at
right. Install the batteries according to this
diagram. (There’s a decal in the battery
compartment showing the correct polar-
ity, also.) Replace the battery compartment
cover and the unit is ready for use.
External Antenna
Although this GPS receiver is extremely sensitive, it can be used in loca-
tions where the built-in antenna simply cannot receive signals from enough
satellites. A second connector on the back of the unit is for an external
antenna. The Lowrance model EA-3 antenna plugs directly into this con-
nector. Other antennas may work. If you use an antenna other than
Lowrance, it will need to be a passive antenna. This unit does not supply
power to the antenna.
Note: There are two plastic caps that cover the power and external an-
tenna connectors. Simply pry these caps off to gain access to the con-
nectors.
OPERATION
Keyboard
There are 12 keys on the keyboard. You navigate through the menus,
adjust the chart’s cursor, and enter data using the arrow keys. The five
major modes of operation are accessed using the PAGES key. Press the
MENU key to select or adjust a feature from a list. The Z-IN and Z-OUT
keys zoom-in or zoom-out the view on the
plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys are
used to enter or clear data or screens. Save
and edit waypoints using the WPT key. The
PWR key turns the unit on and off. Pressing
it once while the unit is on turns on the
screen’s backlight. To prevent an accidental
shutdown, you must hold the PWR key down
for a few seconds to turn the unit off.
