sor), the temperature reading will flash con-
tinuously.
5. Unit goes to SLEEP MODE when ignition is
turned off.
Sleep Mode Operation:
1. Unit enters SLEEP MODE when ignition is
turned off.
2. The display is blank and the unit is in a LOW
POWER MODE.
3. Unit wakes from SLEEP MODE and enters:
A. Ignition ON operation when the ignition
is turned on, or
B. CAMPING MODE when the °F/°C or
the MODE button is pressed for three (3)
seconds.
Camping Mode Operation:
1. Unit enters CAMPING MODE after the °F/
°C button or MODE is pressed for (three) 3
seconds while in SLEEP MODE.
2. Unit displays temperature and heading for
ten (10) seconds; the display stays ‘on’ if
you continue to push either button and then
returns to SLEEP MODE ten (10) seconds
after the last button was pushed.
Nighttime Dimming:
The display brightness is lowered by 50%
when the vehicle headlights are turned on.
Ice Warning
The ICE feature is designed to alert the driver
when ice may be present on the road. The feature
works as follows: When the temperature transi-
tions from above 40° F to below 37° F, the ICE
feature is enabled. The ICE feature loops through
the following displays for 1 minute; “ICE” for 2
seconds, “outside temperature” for 2 seconds.
After the 1 minute timeout expires, the ICE fea-
ture is disabled, and the unit returns to displaying
the outside temperature. The ICE feature remains
disabled until the temperature climbs above 40°
F. The ICE feature only works in ignition on
mode. The feature is not present in camping
mode. For the ICE feature to be enabled, the out-
side temperature must be above 40° F. If the tem-
perature is below 40° F when ignition is turned
on, it is assumed that the driver is already aware
of the cold temperature.
Continuous Self Calibration:
The self calibration is done in two phases: the
first phase is FastCAL™ and the second phase is
SmartCAL™. FastCAL™, as the name implies is
an initial fast calibration routine. When the com-
pass is first powered up and there are no calibra-
tion settings saved in its memory or after you
have completed the procedure to erase the current
calibration settings, the letters “CAL” will be
flashing on the display. The compass is now in
FastCAL™ mode. After you complete your first
90 degree turn the “CAL” letters will turn off and
the compass will be accurate to within 1 cardinal
point. The compass will remain in FastCAL™
mode until, under normal driving conditions; you
have completed two or three circles. By this time
the compass sensor will have taken multiple
reads in every direction and will have gathered
enough information about its environment to be
fully calibrated. If the battery power is removed
from the compass before it has completed the
FastCAL™ routine, it will start FastCAL™ over
the next time it is powered up. Turning ignition
power on and off will not affect the FastCAL™
routine. After the FastCAL™ routine is complet-
ed the compass switches into the SmartCAL™
mode. SmartCAL™ is an ongoing, fine tuning of
the calibration settings. In the SmartCAL™
mode, whenever the compass is operating in nor-
mal ignition on mode, it will continually take
readings from the compass sensor and compare
those readings to what it has saved in its calibra-
tion settings. The compass will use the new infor-
mation it gathers to fine tune its calibration
settings so it will be as accurate as possible, even
when you travel in and out of areas where the
earths magnetic fields get stronger or weaker.
Calibration:
NOTE: The calibration procedure requires you
to drive your coach in a circle during
calibration mode, so you will need to be
in a large area clear of obstacles, such as
a vacant section of a parking lot.
