select (top) button will take you. 
 

Markers menu

up/down controls (

current location of the boat is displayed to assist you. If no distance is shown then the distance is beyond 
1000 meters. You can exit this menu by either selecting a stored marker using the select button ( ) or exiting 
the menu using the exit button (

x

). 

Delete – 

brings up a screen entitled delete, where you can navigate through the saved markers using the 

up/down controls (

In this menu any highlighted title will have its value changed by pressing the select button  ( ) 

 
Backlight – 

with this control set to 

on

, the backlight will be on as long as the unit is on. If this is set to 

off

the backlight will only come on whilst you are within the menu system. 

Boat warn – 

This setting enables the unit to warn you if the boats voltage drops below a value set by the 

trigger (adjusted in the trigger setting). 

Trigger – 

this value is the boat voltage, below which the unit will beep and display a warning – allowing you 

enough time to return your boat safely to shore. (Adjustable from 5.0v to 14.0v in 0.1v increments)  

Heading – 

this adjusts the direction pointer (relative to you) the boat is traveling. If you wish to make use of 

this facility you will need to send your boat into a straight line  before you access the menus. Once the boat is 
running in a straight line, press the select button ( ) whilst the HEADING is highlighted until the arrow points 
in the general direction of the boat. If you overrun, simply keep pressing the select button ( ) until it is 
correct. The pointer arrow has eight points so will give an indication of boat direction but not precise angle. 

Units – 

this enables you to change the setting between feet and metres.

 

Time Zone  – 

this adjusts the time from UTC (GMT) to your local time.
