to keep the map from spinning around as the glider turns.
When the Track Up or North Up icon is highlighted you can view the Map Orientation Window
by pressing either the Select , Up or Down button. You would think that

Press the Up or Down button to toggle between Track Up and North Up modes. The
highlighted text (yellow background) indicates the selected mode.
Press the Select , Menu or Focus button to accept the highlighted selection and return to the

There are 4 light intensity settings to select from:
•
High – Full brightness, Great in sunlight, but draws about 600 mA of current from the glider
battery.
•
Medium – Medium brightness, A good compromise setting – pretty good in sunlight but with a
bit less current draw (~500 mA?).
•
Low – Low brightness, Less visible in bright sunlight, but much less current used (~400 mA?)
•
PowerSave – In this mode the screen goes to the High setting when you are using the remote
and backs down to the Low setting after 25 seconds of non ‐ use. It goes back up to High
immediately when you press any button on the remote.
