Chapter 12 - Setting Up Your 958
Choosing a 12- or
24-hour clock
You can set the time of day to either a 12- or 24-hour format.
The option you select here affects all of the 958’s time-related
displays, including high and low tides, sunrise/sunset, and
ETA.
Choosing lat/lon
precision
You can set the precision of the 958’s latitude and longitude
displays to either degrees, minutes, and seconds (two decimal
places, or .XX), or to degrees, minutes, and thousandths of
minutes (three decimal places, or .XXX).
Choosing the
number of saved
waypoints
When you press the
SAVE
key, the 958 automatically assigns
a sequential waypoint number (such as –S001–) to each point
stored. When this number is the same as the number you set
in the
MAX SAVED WAYPT
option, the 958 restarts at the
number 1, and overwrites the old saved waypoint previously
designated number 1. For many applications, you may want to
set this maximum number to a small value, such as five or ten,
as long as you promptly rename any saved waypoints you
want to save permanently—before they’re overwritten by the
958.
To change this option, press the
EDIT
menu key. Using the
KEYPAD
, enter the value you want—up to a maximum of
199—and press the
ENTER
key. For one- or two-digit values,
enter zero as the first digit(s). The factory default setting is 100
saved waypoints.
Entering a
personalized
owner’s message
To provide your 958 with a substantial measure of theft
protection, you can enter a personalized owner identification
message using an four-digit access code. Northstar notifies
you and confirms this code only when you return your
product registration card. Once you’ve received your
registered owner-access code, you can enter your individual
owner ID message:
1. After selecting the
OWNER’S MESSAGE
option, press the
EDIT
menu key. A question window appears, asking you
to enter your password.
