Lowrance iWAY 500C Product Support Bulletin

WARNING!

Vehicle drivers should never attempt to configure, adjust or
enter information into the GPS unit while driving!
This mapping GPS receiver has a Safety Mode to prevent vehicle
drivers from operating the GPS while the vehicle is in motion. The unit
will navigate and play music while moving, but the keyboard and
touch-screen buttons are temporarily disabled. The keyboard and
screen buttons become responsive when the vehicle stops.
However, if a passenger is available to act as navigator, Safety Mode
can be turned off. This switches the unit to Passenger Mode and allows
the passenger to operate the unit while the vehicle is moving.
Here's how to disable Safety Mode and switch to Passenger Mode:
1. Turn on the unit by pressing the key.
POWER
2. Wait while the unit powers up. Close the opening warning message
by pressing the in the upper right corner of the screen.

the options on-screen. The Main Menu will appear, as shown in the
following image. (In manuals with part number 988-0148-541, the Main
Menu on page 35 shows a Set Local Time button instead of the Safety
Mode button. Customers with those manuals should note that the Set
Local Time button works as described, but the button is found on the
Units of Measure menu.)
