Overview

If you do not want to use the unit, but you would like to charge the battery, you can put the unit into Charge Mode. Connect the unit to an external power supply. Press and hold the POWER Button. Instead of completely turning off, the unit now goes into Charge Mode.

TURNING THE UNIT ON/OFF

Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the unit on or off.

NOTE: If the display appears dark or dim, adjust the display backlighting as necessary upon power up. The GPSMAP 695/696 retains the backlighting settings between power cycles. Backlighting may have been set to a level not suitable for the current ambient lighting. For more information on display backlighting see section 1.4 (System Settings).

The power button can be used to quickly set the backlight intensity. A momentary press of the power button (after the unit is powered on) will display a window showing the current backlight setting. From this window the backlight setting can be adjusted with the joystick knob, or a second momentary press of the power button changes the backlight level to full bright (10).

Adjusting Backlighting on Power up

The first time the unit is turned on, the receiver must collect satellite data and establish its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 695/696 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to “find itself” anywhere in the world.
