OPERATION

To turn the AccuMap Sport on, simply

press the PWR key. A screen similar to the

one at right appears. Read the message

on the screen, then press the EXIT key to

erase it. The AccuMap Sport is now ready

for use.

Most of the AccuMap's adjustments and

features are found on "menus". Pressing

the MENU key lets you view the menus.

Different menus items are added to the

basic list, depending on which mode (map-

ping, navigation, or windows) the unit is

in. This gives you the features that are spe-

cific to the mode you are in, but also has

items that are used on all modes.

Using the arrow keys moves the black box

to highlight different menus on the list. Pressing the right arrow key se-

lects the menu.

To erase a menu, press the EXIT key.

Cold Start

When the AccuMap Sport is turned on for the very first time, it doesn't

know where it is, nor what the local time or date is. If you tell it your posi-

tion, time, and date, the unit will take much less time to lock-on to the

satellites and give you a fix or position.

However, if you don't want to push buttons at this time, that's fine. The

AccuMap Sport will lock onto the satellites and give you a position without

any input from you. This is called a "cold-start". It simply means that the

unit is searching without help for the satellites that are in orbit. A cold-start

can take up to 15 minutes to acquire enough satellite data to determine

your position, although it typically takes less time than that.
