Garmin GPSMAP 60C Owner's Manual - Page 17

Status Bar, Backlighting and On-Screen Messages At the top of each page, a Status Bar (which is always displayed) provides current status information for several unit features. • Power to the unit is provided by batteries or from an auxiliary source (AC or DC Adapter). The Battery Power icon displays the remaining power as the battery becomes depleted. • Satellite signal status is shown when searching for (acquiring) satellites, when a two-dimensional fix is attained and when four or more satellites have been received (three dimensional fix). • Backlighting is Off when you power up the unit. When On, it uses a significant amount of battery power. This icon displays when the backlight is functioning. • The Alarm Clock icon displays whenever the Alarm is set. • The USB cable icon displays when the unit is in communication with a PC Universal Serial Bus. You can adjust the backlight level by pressing down on the POWER key and releasing. Then tap the POWER key or ROCKER key Up/Down arrows to cycle through the levels of backlight adjustment. See page 46 for information on changing the display colors and backlight timeout and brightness levels. Whenever a significant event in the operation of the unit occurs, an on-screen message appears to advise you of the occurrence. In each case, the condition is described and often a remedy provided. Pressing the ENTER key acknowledges the message and closes the window.
