Automatic Power Off
The Triton can be set to automatically go into suspend mode when no keys have been pressed. This
saves battery life if you forget to turn off the Triton.
Setting the Power Off Timer interval.
1. From the Map screen, press MENU.
2. Select View.
3. Select Profiles.
4. Select the profile desired.
5. Select the Display Options icon at the top of the display.
6. Select Power Off Timer.
7. Choose the interval that the Triton will turn off with no keys pressed. You can also select Off
if you want the Triton to not turn off automatically.
Hold Switch
Sometimes you may find that you want the Triton to keep computing your position but you are keeping
it in your backpack or some other area where the keys might be pressed accidently. To prevent
accidental key presses, the Triton has a Hold Switch that disables the keys and the touchscreen but
the Magellan Triton will continue to compute position information.
Setting the Hold Switch
1. Lift the protective cover from the Hold Switch.
2. Slide the Hold Switch down to turn off the keys and touchscreen,
up for normal operation.
