Sampling

Sampling causes the receiver to turn itself on every 10 minutes, 20
minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour, compute a position fix, store the fix in
the last fix buffer, and then turn itself off.

In order to use Sampling, the receiver's antenna must remain in an
open area and fully visible to the sky. If the antenna is blocked so that
the receiver cannot acquire sufficient satellites the receiver will be unable
to compute a position fix and the receiver will remain on until the
obstruction is removed.
When Sampling is on, a warning message appears on the POWER DOWN
screen to remind you that you have Sampling on.
Sampling will continue until it is turned off or until the battery warning
is displayed.
When the unit is turned on again, a message will appear requiring you
to confirm whether you want SAMPLING on or off. Select ON or OFF
using the UP/DOWN ARROWs and press ENTER.

Power Lock

POWER LOCK allows you to safeguard the receiver's battery power in
case of unintentional power-on by requiring a specific key sequence to
confirm. This feature is useful, for example, when POWER key is pressed
accidentally as a result of being stored in a bag, etc.
