To change the value or format in a specific field you have to first highlight it using the UP
or DOWN button (e.g. the position format field on the Figure 21). Press the ENTER
button to make the corresponding scroll down list appear from which you will select the
desired format or value (Figure 21). Press the ENTER button again in order to save the
change. The variance field cannot be change, this value is given by the GPS unit and
connected with the Earth's magnetic field variation.
Ones all the units have been setup it is possible to keep them as default be highlighting
the 'DEFAULTS' option and pressing the ENTER button

The 'SYSTEM' setup page

This page (Figure 22) allows the user to fix the operation mode (Normal, Battery Save,
Demonstration). It is recommended to put the device in the 'BATTERY SAVE' mode in
order to extend their life. It is also possible to set the receiver language. We recommend
using the receiver in English in order to follow the instruction reported on the different
documents provided. It may however be useful in certain case to change the language in
order to improve understanding of some options.
Changes can be done as in the other pages by highlightning the concerned field, pressing
the 'ENTER' button to make the scroll down list appear, selecting the desired language and
pressing the 'ENTER' button again to save the change.
