Turning On The Gpsmap 296; Adjusting The Backlight And Volume - Garmin GPSMAP 296 Pilot's Manual

Turning On the GPSMAP 296

The first time you turn on your new GPSMAP 296, the receiver
must collect satellite data and establish its present position. To
ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 296 is shipped from the
factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to "find
itself" anywhere in the world. Before you turn on the unit to start
initialization, be sure that the antenna is rotated up as shown on
page 1, and it has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky to receive
satellite signals.
To turn on and off the GPSMAP 296:
1. Press and hold the red POWER key. When the unit powers
on, a tone sounds and the Warning page displays.
