Operation

General Operation
• Press the button "On/Off" (7) in order to switch on the display.
• The satellite symbol (8) is blinking, until the device has received the GPS data.
• After switching the device on for the fi rst time, the device is in compass-mode.
• Press the PAGE key (1), in order to switch between compass-mode
waypoint modes
• Press the On/Off (7) button briefl y to switch on the display light. The display light is switched
off automatically after a few seconds, however, it is also possible to switch it off manually by
pressing the On/Off button (7) again.
• If the device does not detect movement for a certain amount of time, the device is switched
off automatically in order to save energy.
• In order to switch off the device manually, press the On/Off key (7) until the display light
lapses.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; there is a risk that they
could be swallowed by children or pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
• Leaking or damaged normal/rechargeable batteries in contact with the skin can
cause acid burns; therefore, use suitable safety gloves.
• Normal/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into
a fi re. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries, there is a risk of explosion!
Only charge rechargeable batteries that are intended for this purpose; use a suit-
able battery charger.
• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batter-
ies (pay attention to plus and minus).

Rechargeable batteries may be used, but due to the lower voltage output (recharge-
able battery = 1.2V, standard battery = 1.5V) and the lower capacity, the service life
is shorter.
In order to enable correct and fast positioning, the device needs to have a good
satellite reception. For this purpose, the device needs a "clear view" to the sky.
In order to display the correct direction, the device has to be on the move. This is
because the changing of the GPS coordinates allows the identifi cation of the direc-
tion of motion.
When operating the device inside of buildings or in situations in which the satellite
reception is disturbed (see "Problems with the GPS reception"), this function may be
restricted or not possible at all.
After switching on the device for the fi rst time or after being switched off for a trans-
port over a great distance, the identifi cation of the GPS data may take longer than
usual.
