Time Settings Menu.
At the bottom left of the menu is the CONFIG DST button. This feature
allows your unit to automatically adjust with the time change caused
by Daylight Saving Time. It should only have to be set once. You may
select which set of rules matches DST in your region or simply accept
the default.
Once you have each field set the way you want, press
EXIT repeatedly to
return to the previous page.
Show WAAS Alarm
When the signal is available, your unit will automatically use WAAS to
boost the accuracy of the position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or
acquired, an alarm message appears. Since the U.S. government is still
developing the WAAS system, 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. 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) or
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 on the
feature.
