Saving Time. You may select which set of rules matches DST in your
region or just accept the default. You should only have to configure DST
once.
Once you have each field set the way you want, press

Show WAAS Alarm
When the signal is available, your unit will automatically use WAAS to
boost the accuracy of a position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or
acquired, a message appears. Since the U.S. government is still devel-
oping the WAAS system, it is not unusual for a GPS/WAAS receiver to
frequently lose and reacquire its lock on a WAAS satellite. That can
result in the alarm repeatedly going off. If you want, turn off the WAAS
Acquired/Lost alarm without affecting how the unit uses WAAS.
To turn off WAAS alarm:
1. Press
MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT| to SHOW WAAS ALARM.
2. Press
ENT to turn it on (check) or turn it off (uncheck). After the op-
tion is set, press
EXIT|EXIT to return to the page display.
3. To turn the alarm on again, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
Software Version Information
From time to time, Eagle updates the operating system software in
some of its products. These software upgrades are usually offered to
customers as free downloads from our web site, www.eaglegps.com.
These upgrades make the unit perform better or introduce a new fea-
ture or function. You can find out what software version is running in
your unit by using the Software Information command.
