System Setup

The next setup page is the system setup page, which

is used to select the operating mode, time offset and

screen preferences. The GPS 120XL has two operating

modes:

• ’Normal’ Mode operates the unit at maximum

performance, and provides a battery of life up to

12 hours on alkaline batteries.

• ’Simulator’ Mode allows you to operate the unit

without acquiring satellites, and is ideal for prac-

ticing or entering waypoints and routes while at

home.

To select an operating mode:

1. Highlight the ‘MODE’ field and press

2. Use the arrow keypad to select a mode and press

Date and Time Setup

mode field. Because the time shown is UTC time, you

Appendix C.

To enter the time offset:

1. Highlight the ‘OFFSET’ field and press the

key.
