2.1 DISPLAY

2.1.1 Mode Indicator

On the left side of the display there is a mode indicator that shows the currently active mode. The mode indicator displays the modes from the top down in the following order: TIME, WEATHER, COMPASS, SAILING and NAVIGATION. The active mode is indicated by the moving segment next to the indicator bar. When the RACING mode is active, both

the SAILING and the NAVIGATION segments are displayed.

2.1.2 Battery Indicator

On the right side of the display there is a battery indicator that shows the battery voltage. When the indicator is in the red zone, the battery needs recharging. When the battery is be- ing recharged, the battery indicator moves up continuously until the battery is full, and the indicator is shown in full length.

2.1.3. Alarm Symbol

If a regular alarm or a Baro Alarm is activated, a rectangular symbol is displayed at the right side of the lower horizontal dot line.

2.1.4. GPS Activity and Accuracy Bar Display

When the GPS is set on, a dot bar display appears on the upper horizontal dot line of the display. When the GPS is on but does not have a fix, an empty rectangular dot is dis-

played. When the GPS has a fix, 1 to 5

filled rectangular dots are displayed. The amount depends on the fix quality. More dots represent better satellite

coverage and signal reception.
