Turning On the 76CS Plus
The first time you turn on your new 76CS Plus, the
receiver must collect satellite data and determine its
present position. To ensure proper initialization, the
76CS Plus is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate
mode, which allows the receiver to “find itself” any-
where in the world. Before you turn on the unit to
start initialization, be sure that the antenna has a clear
and unobstructed view of the sky to receive satellite
signals.
To turn on and off the 76CS Plus:
1. Press and hold the
Power
key. When the unit
powers on, the splash screen image appears.
2. Press
ENTER
to display the Warning page.
3. Read and be sure you understand the warning.
Press
ENTER
to continue.
4. Press
PAGE
to scroll through the pages.
5. To turn off the 76CS Plus, press and hold the
Power
key again.
After you turn on your 76CS Plus, a window appears
that lists any user settings you have changed.
Adjusting the Backlight
You may want to adjust the backlight to see the dis-
play better.
To adjust the backlight level:
1. Press and quickly release the
Power
key.
2. Press the
Rocker
key Up to increase the
brightness or Down to decrease. You can also
press and release the
Power
key to adjust the
slider to low, middle, and high.
3. Press
ENTER
or
QUIT
to close the Backlight
adjustment window.
Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, and beep tones
significantly reduces battery life. To disable WAAS,
see page 6. To mute the beep tones, see page 79.
