System Setup

The first setup page is the system setup page, which

is used to select the operating mode, time offset and

screen preferences. The GPSCOM 170 has three operat-

ing modes:

• GPS Off? disables all of the unit’s GPS functions

which will conserve battery power.

• GPS On enables all of the unit’s GPS functions,

making it a fully operational unit.

• Simulator? allows you to operate the unit without

acquiring satellites, and is ideal for practicing or

entering waypoints and routes while at home.

To select an operating mode:

1. Highlight the ‘MODE’ field and press

2. Use the arrow keypad to select a mode and press

Date and Time Setup

To enter the time offset:

1. Highlight the ‘OFFSET’ field and press
