ThE hardwarE MENU

the hardware menu comprises parameters that control

low level functionality of the Geo electronic hardware.

TriggEr

ThE TriggEr paraMETEr

the Geo is fitted with a dual trigger pull

detection system. A non-contact opto-

electronic trigger sensor arrangement

is used to detect trigger movement

whilst a micro-switch is used to provide a

more traditional tactile feedback for the

trigger. the

TriggEr

parameter is used to

select which system is used. the choices

available are as follows:-

> OpTO:

select the opto sensor for trigger

pull detection.

> swiTch:

select the micro-switch for

trigger pull detection.

> caNcEl:

cancel editing and leave the

parameter unchanged.

sOUNd

ThE sOUNd paraMETEr

the Geo board is capable of emitting a

variety of sounds to audibly indicate when

certain functions have been performed,

including, but not limited to, powering up,

powering off, changing the bbss mode

and successfully changing parameters.

this parameter determines if this feature

is switched on or off, switching it on will

cause more drain on the battery. the

choices available for this parameter are:

>OFF:

sounds switched off.

>ON:

sounds switched on.

>caNcEl:

cancel editing and leave the

parameter unchanged.

TONEs

ThE TONEs paraMETEr

this parameter sets the Geo emits a tone

each time any of the pushbuttons on the

navigation console are activated. As part

of the smart menu system the

TONEs

parameter will only be shown in the

hardware menu if the

sOUNd

parameter is

switched on. the choices available for this

parameter are:

>OFF:

tones switched off.

>ON:

tones switched on.

>caNcEl:

cancel editing and leave the

parameter unchanged.
