Setting Date/Time - Exploranium GR-100 User Manual

GR-100 User's Manual Revision 1.2
The SHORT press toggles the beeper setting between ON and OFF, the LONG press confirms the
selected setting and advances the screen to the next parameter. If there is no action for 15 seconds
during the parameter setting procedure, the unit returns to the monitoring mode. The procedure
proceeds with setting the following three parameters:
• BEEPER ON / OFF – this determines whether the internal audio beeper (or earphone) is active
for alarms and search. The beeper cannot be turned off if the vibrator is also turned off. One of
the two alarm indicators must always be activated.
• VIBRATOR ON / OFF – some users want a covert alarm capability so they want to use the
vibrator rather than the beeper. It is recommended placing the GR-100 into the breast pocket in
this case. The vibration may not be noticed when the unit is belt mounted. However the
vibrator uses a lot of electrical power, thus shortening the battery life. This function is not
essential and therefore, it is recommended that the vibrator be set to OFF to conserve battery life
• BACKLITE ON / OFF – In low light conditions the backlight makes the display substantially
more visible. If ON, the display is illuminated during switching ON procedure; in case of ALARM,
during SEARCH mode operation and 10 seconds after any button activation. During backlighting
the battery drain is increased about 10 times. Normally it decreases the battery life 2 or 3 times
according to the ratio between MONITOR and SEARCH mode. In the rare occasions that this
feature is actually required it can be temporarily enabled as described below. So normally it is
recommended that this function be OFF.
After confirming the backlight status selection via LONG press, the unit resumes the monitoring mode.

Setting DATE/TIME

A LONG press in the monitor mode followed by two SHORT presses brings on the
DATE/TIME setting screen:
Then LONG press confirms the selection:
Follow the same procedure as in 2.3 to set correct date and time:
To set date, SHORT press changes the year (YY) and LONG press confirms the
selected setting and moves the cursor to month (MM) and than to day (DD). After
confirming the Day setting, the screen changes to time setting.
The setting of the hours (HH) and minutes (MM) are analogous, the seconds are only displayed but it is
not possible to set them. The SHORT press changes the value, the LONG confirms it. After confirming
the minutes via LONG press the unit returns to monitoring mode.
