Timer Readout
The Timer is a standard counter that records
a maximum of 99 hours, 59 minutes, and
59 seconds. The Wayfinder can be used
as a timer while still maintaining accurate
compass readings.
“
DISTORTION
”
Icon
The Wayfinder detects when outside magnetic
interference is compromising compass
accuracy and displays the
“
DISTORTION
”
icon in the upper left corner. Distortion
occurs when there has been a significant
change in the surrounding magnetic fields,
such as when you are driving underneath an
overpass or over a bridge. The steel in these
structures causes inaccurate readings in any
magnetic compass, but the Wayfinder detects
this interference and alerts you.
Backlight
The Wayfinder uses an electro-luminescent
backlight to illuminate the display, making it
easily visible at night. Pressing the
ADV
and
ENT
buttons at the same time turns the back-
light on or off. The backlight has a program-
mable shut-off, which turns the backlight off
after it has been on for a specified period of
time. To conserve battery power, the backlight
should be turned off when not in use.
