pheric is rising or falling), the Atlas MNS can predict how the weather will
behave.
Sleep Mode
Of course, when the Atlas MNS has more information to work with, it can
provide better predictions. In order to help with this, we've designed the
Atlas MNS with a Sleep Mode that allows it to conserve battery life, while
occasionally waking up just enough to take a pressure reading. This allows
the unit to continue to build an accurate pressure history even when you're
not actively using it.
There are three ways to enable Sleep Mode. The easiest is to simply hold
the PAGES button until the unit goes into
SLEEP MODE.
If you're viewing the Digital Data display, simply press MENU and select
ENABLE SLEEP MODE, then press ENT.
If you're viewing one of the other displays, press
MENU|MENU|↓ to SYSTEM
SETUP|ENT|↓ to ENABLE SLEEP MODE|ENT.
A dialog will ask you to confirm your choice. Choose
YES, and the iFINDER
will appear to turn off.
When the Atlas MNS is in Sleep Mode, you can return to normal operation
by pressing
PWR. You can also use the Instant-On Compass feature to
briefly display the compass reading, without reactivating the entire unit.
Instant-On Compass
When the Atlas MNS is in Sleep Mode, you can still quickly check your
compass bearing by pressing and holding the
PAGES key. This activates
the screen and shows the current Compass display, including your current
heading and any information you are displaying in the customizable data
boxes. As soon as you release the
PAGES key the Atlas MNS will return to
SLEEP MODE.
Navigation Page
This Page has a compass rose. It shows your facing direction and the di-
rection to a selected destination. The navigation screen looks like the one
in the following image when you're not navigating to a waypoint or other
destination. No graphic course information is displayed. Your facing direc-
tion is shown by an arrow on the edge of the compass rose.
You can choose how to display the Compass's orientation. The options are
"North Up," "Heading Up," and "Bearing Up."
With North Up, North the unit always places North at top of the screen. As
you turn and change your facing direction (your heading), the heading indica-
tor arrow will move along the edge of the compass rose.
