3.4 Swipe Down menu

Figure 3-3: Swipe Down Menu

When the Display Unit is powered on, you can “swipe” your finger from the top of the screen
towards the bottom, to display a Swipe-Down menu (Figure 3-3) with the following items:

Date and Time:

The current date and time (12 hour clock). The time needs to be changed in

areas that observe daylight-savings-time.

Battery:

The battery icon displays the amount of power remaining in the battery.

GPS:

Shows the status of the GPS receiver

Wi-Fi Network:

Indicates if the system is connected to a wireless network and, if so, the name

of the network. See

Section

4.1.6 for details on connecting the system to a wireless network.
