Installing Batteries
The GPS 100 operates on 2 AA batteries (not
included). To install batteries, twist the D-ring
connector counterclockwise (anticlockwise) and
remove the battery compartment cover. Insert
two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity
alignment. Replace the battery compartment
cover and twist the D-ring clockwise to lock.
As an optional power source, an Automotive
Power Adapter (not included, see “Optional
Accessories,” in the owner’s manual) can be used
with your GPS 100.

must acquire a “fix” on your current position. To
do this, take your GPS 100 outside making sure
you have a clear view of the sky. Press and hold
the POWER button for 2 seconds . A start-up
screen appears , followed by a second screen
that shows you that your unit is attempting to lock
on to signals from GPS satellites. Once satellite
signals have been acquired and locked, the screen
will automatically switch to the Map page, and the
unit is ready to use.
NOTE: When you use the GPS 100 for the
first time, it will take up to approximately 50
seconds to lock on to the GPS satellites.
Turning on the Display Backlight
When the unit is turned on, pressing and releasing
the POWER button will turn on the display backlight.

Go for a Test Walk
Test your knowledge of GPS 100 basics by taking a walk around the block.
1. Load batteries per instructions and take your GPS 100 outdoors. Be sure you have
a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Turn your unit on by pressing and holding
the POWER button for 2 seconds. Allow time for your GPS 100 to acquire satellite
lock and a “fix” of your current location. When ready the unit will automatically
switch to the Map page. (Remember, you can toggle among the 5 main pages by
pressing the PAGE button.)
2. From the Map page, experiment by selecting options per instructions. For example,
you may want to mark your current location as your first waypoint, and then walk
around your neighborhood marking various points along your path from start point
to end point. (See diagram below.) Then navigate back to your start point by
accessing the Nav Data page, and selecting Navigate and REVERSE to lead you back
the way you came.
Note: When navigating back to your original start point, intentionally walk off
course to familiarize yourself with how the unit shows you where you are relative
to the route or track as shown on the Gauges page.
Keep practicing until you are comfortable using the many features of your GPS 100.
Always refer to your GPS 100 User’s Manual for more detailed instructions.
