This is a convenient way to clear routes and waypoints at one time. You may clear individual routes or waypoints through their respective menus, one at a time.
CLEAR: used to turn off activated alarms, and to negate modes such as PICK, CURSOR, ROUTE, and DIST (distance). Represents the number 0 when the numeric keypad symbol is displayed. Also holding CLEAR for 3 seconds, until chirping sound is heard, will delete all temporary waypoints and routes.
CLOCK MODE
Default setting: UTC
The clock contained in the NS10 is updated continuously by the GPS satellites, and will be very accurate. Three different time display options are available: UTC , universal time code, which time
UTC clock offset; the NS 10 knows the time very accurately based on Greenwich meantime, but has no idea what time it is in your time zone, since time zones don't correspond to Lat/Lon lines. Use the arrow buttons to select the hour of the day in your time zone, and press ENTER. The NS 10 of course knows the minutes and seconds, and will convert the time display to local time.
DIRECTIONAL ARROWS: controls the position and movement of the cursor function, as well determining the direction of PICK.
COURSE: your actual direction of travel measured in degrees from North.
DISPLAY CONTRAST
Default setting: 3 bars
The display contrast menu allows you to adjust the optimum viewing angle for the LCD display. In normal operation, this will probably not be necessary. If the NS 10 is flush mounted in
the console, it may be desirable to adjust the display for maximum contrast when viewed from a specific location.
When the NS 10 is gimbal mounted, the adjustment allowed by the gimbal bracket is usually sufficient to maximize contrast for the viewer.
Ambient air temperature has some effect on the viewing angle of any LCD. If you notice a degradation of display contrast when using the NS 10 in extreme temperatures, adjustment of the display contrast may be necessary.
Using the arrow buttons to adjust. The display contrast responds immediately to your adjustment so you can pick the appropriate setting. The nine position scale simply shows the range of adjustment available.
After adjusting the display contrast, press SELECT to exit to the next higher menu.
DIST: Calculates the distance between two points. Represents the number 3 when the numeric keypad symbol is displayed.
DISTANCE/SPEED
Default setting: Statute miles/MPH
