Power:
Press and hold the Power button to turn the Atlas on or off. You’ll hear a power-on sound and
the LEDs progress as the Atlas 2 wakes up. To turn the Atlas off, press and hold the power
button until you hear a shutdown sound and see the display go blank. While on, a short tap on
the power button brings up the about device screen, tapping it again to return to the previous
screen.
Speaking of power; to charge the Atlas 2 simply connect the included charging cable to a USB
charger. Then attach the included charging pad to the other end. Placing the Atlas 2 on the pad
automatically starts the charging process; you’ll see a battery icon and a percent of charge
displayed. If you don’t see anything on the screen that's OK, it simply means that your Atlas 2 is
100% charged! It is recommended to charge your Atlas to full capacity at least once every 3
months.
Display & Buttons:
The info bar displays device information like Battery Level and Current Time. If the time is not
showing, it simply means that the GPS/GNSS module has not yet found enough satellites.
Usually taking just seconds, that process might take a few minutes, in particular if this is the first
power-on or if the device doesn’t have a clear view of the sky, for example, while indoors.
Obviously, the better view of the sky, the better. The clock also might show 24 hour GMT
based-time; don’t worry we can change that in settings later.
Buttons 1 - 4 are contextual and can change function based on what screen is being displayed.
The button bar displays the current functions of each of the 4 buttons. The default and most
common functions are: LINE, ANGLE, RESET, and START. LINE is used to set the starting
marks (see Line Menu, below). ANGLE is used to set and view reference angles for tracking
shifts, RESET and START control the start timer. There is often a BACK button to allow you to
return directly to the previous screen.
The Home button is very important; it allows you to return to the home screen from any menu
and is used to cycle through your configured layouts.
