Messages

The messages page displays any current message

alerts. There are two types of messages: temporary alerts

(e.g., approaching a waypoint) and condition alerts

(e.g., battery power low). All messages are initially indi-

cated by a flashing on-screen indicator. Temporary alerts

are then cleared, while condition alerts can be viewed

again from the messages page.

Find City Function

The find city page provides the same features as the

find city selection from the map options window. See

page 40 for more information on the find city page.

Setup Menu

The setup menu displays an additional list of four

menu options used exclusively for configuring the GPS

12XL to your preferences. Menu selections for ‘system’

setup, ‘navigation’ setup, ‘interface’ setup and ‘alarms’

settings are available.

System Setup: Mode

The system setup page is used to select the operat-

ing mode, time offset, and screen preferences. The GPS

12XL has two operating modes:

• Normal Mode operates the unit at maximum

performance, and provides battery life of up to 24

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. Select a mode and press .

System Setup: Offset

The date and time offset is located directly below

the mode field. Note: Date and time information is

derived from the GPS satellites and cannot be changed

by the user. Because the time shown is UTC (Greenwich

Mean Time) time, you will need to enter a time offset to

display the correct local time for your area. To deter-

mine the time offset for your area, note your position

and refer to the chart in Appendix C.
