- Page 9 POWER SAVING FEATURES Smart Backlighting Clicking either the Power/Mode key or the Mark key will turn on a bright backlight for 15 seconds. Afterwards, the backlight will be turned off automatically. If the current time is between 5PM to 6AM, a dim backlight will be turned on, allowing reading of the LCD display in the dark while keeping the power consumption low. Clicking Mark key while not in the clock mode will toggle the PM indicator on and off. When the PM indicator is on, a bright backlight will be kept constantly on. This is useful whenever a bright backlight is needed, at the expense of higher power consumption. Auto Shutdown The GP‐102 will automatically power itself off under either one of the following conditions: 1. No moving of the device for 2 minutes. 2. No satellite signal acquired for 2 minutes, and no key pressed. 3. No position fix for 5 minutes and no key pressed. When charging, the auto shutdown function will be disabled.

- Page 11 A4: At speed below 10km/hr, the GP‐102 uses the internal digital compass to calculate direction to the return point; if you are inside a car, the metallic structure of the car will affect the accuracy of the digital compass so the direction may be wrong. When the speed is over 10km/hr, the GP‐102 will automatically switch to GPS to calculate direction; as long as you hold the GP‐102 in normal forward direction, the direction triangle will correctly point to the return point. Q5: What do those arcs of the satellite icon represent? A5: The arcs of the satellite icon indicate the quality of position fix. More arcs mean more satellite signals and better position accuracy. In a weak signal environment, you can try to wait a while longer to see if more arcs will show up before marking the location so the accuracy of the marking can be increased Q6: Will my GP‐102 remember the stored locations after powering off? A6: You can turn off your GP‐102 to save power and all the settings will be saved. Next time when it’s turned on, you will be in the last operating mode with all marked locations restored. The memory won’t be lost even if the battery is fully drained. CANMORE ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. www.canmore.com.tw ...
