How Do I Use It?

Type

Description

Power

Management

You can set how the backlight will behave when the

screen has not been touched for a while. You have

the following options:
• Backlight Always On: The screen is continuously lit.
• Smart Powersave: When running on battery,

Smart Powersave will light up the screen only when

you press a button, tap the screen, or if there is

something to show you. After a few seconds the

light level decreases, and after another few seconds

the backlight turns off. This helps achieve a longer

battery life.

Backlight at

Daytime

You can set the backlight level for daytime use.

Backlight at Night You can set the backlight level for night use.

Track Log settings

You can set up an automatic Track Log saving, and fine-tune its settings.

Tap the following buttons:

Type

Description

Update

Interval

This is how often track points will be saved. Position

information is normally received once a second from the

GPS. If you do not need such a detailed log, you can

increase this number to save track log space.

Enable Auto-

saving

When auto-saving is enabled, you do not need to turn

track log saving on and off manually. TRAX353 will

automatically start recording the track log as soon as

GPS position is available.
