You can use the arrow keys to move back and forth through the avail-
able pressure history. Use

← to move back in time, selecting previous

readings, or

→ to move forward in time. The exact value of the selected

reading is displayed on screen. You can also use

↑ to switch to altitude

values, or

↓ to return to atmospheric pressure values.

Sleep Mode
Of course, when the iFINDER has more information to work with, it
can provide better predictions. In order to help with this, we've de-
signed the iFINDER with a Sleep Mode that allows it to conserve bat-
tery 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 two ways to enable Sleep Mode. If you're viewing the Digital
Data display, simply press

MENU

and select

, then

press

, and the

iFINDER will appear to turn off.

NOTE:

Sleep mode can be activated from any page by holding down the

MAP/MUSIC

key for 5 seconds.

When the iFINDER 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 iFINDER is in Sleep Mode, you can still quickly check your
compass bearing by pressing and holding the

MAP

key. This activates

the screen and shows the current Compass display, including your cur-
rent heading and any information you are displaying in the customiza-
ble data boxes. As soon as you release the

MAP

key the iFINDER will

return to

Compass Display

This display has a compass rose. It shows your facing direction and the
direction 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 direction is shown by an arrow on the edge of the compass rose.
