It is necessary to enter a seed position and the current
time the first time you turn the unit on. This should
have been done when your unit was installed. So, you
won't have to set it again unless the unit has been
moved several hundred miles with the power off.
Turn the Power knob clockwise to switch the unit on.
The startup screen, testing, position, and database
information shows on the display for several seconds
and then will go into the Navigation function.
You can search for a waypoint character by character,
sort through the database by selecting the first few
characters of the identifier to simplify the search, or
look at every waypoint in order. You can search for
waypoints by identifier or the city/facility name.
