Preferences 72 Using the Power-Management Tool When you are out in the field or on the water, extending the life of the batteries in your eXplorist should be something that you are mindful of. Three areas that you can control to extend the battery life are: (1) turning the eXplorist off when not in use, (2) setting how long the display backlight will be on and (3) turning the electronic compass off. (Please see the chapter on the Electronic Compass for detailed instructions on turning the compass off.) Setting the Power-Off Timer The eXplorist has a power-off timer that will turn the eXplorist off after a defined time period if no buttons have been pressed or if you are not moving. This will prevent the batteries from running out if you accidentally leave the eXplorist on. 1. Press MENU. 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Preferences. 3. Press ENTER. 4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Pwr Management. 5. Press ENTER. 6. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the data field for Power Off Timer. Pwr Management Power Off Timer Off Light Timer 4 Minutes Electronic Compass On 7. Press ENTER. 8. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the desired time interval or set to Off. 9. Press ENTER. Note: When using a GOTO route you should note that if the eXplorist turns off, the GOTO route is erased. If you have a GOTO route activated and you think that the power timer may elapse and turn the eXplorist off, you might want to set the Power-Off Timer to Off. This does not apply to multi-leg routes and BackTrack routes.
