e Almanac Page and Solunar Edge Technology

by Speedtech® Instruments

e Bushnell ONIX 400 features a unique Almanac page, which uses patented Solunar Edge technology developed by Speedtech® Instruments to provide a signiﬁcantly more accurate predictor of animal and ﬁsh activity than standard “sun & moon tables”, providing the most reliable activity predictions for your location.

About Solunar Edge Technology

e various environmental conditions aﬀecting wildlife behavior have been integrated in a mathematical algorithm to determine optimal animal and ﬁsh activity times. e factors and relationships used in the instrument were obtained through an extensive study of the scientiﬁc literature, and use of well documented wildlife behavior studies. is information, combined with discussions with wildlife biologists and experienced outdoorsmen, has contributed to the development of the software used in the Solunar Edge to provide you with the ability to determine the absolute best predictor of animal and ﬁsh activity.

Thank you for purchasing the Bushnell ONIX400 – the most advanced outdoor navigation device available today! This device is capable of receiving both GPS Satellite and XM Satellite Radio signals in an outdoor environment. The ONIX400 comes preloaded with a base road map of the United States and Canada including a Points of Interest data base. The GPS receiver has the capability to receive satellite signals worldwide. The XM Satellite Radio receiver presently only functions in the United States and Canada.

ONIX has been designed to be much simpler to operate than other handheld GPS receivers, while offering powerful features like TruView navigation, which allows you to layer satellite photos or topographic maps right over your trail map screen, providing a useful “real world” frame of reference1. And for the ﬁrst time in a handheld GPS device, the ONIX400 lets you receive and view XM Weather data for your location right on the map-you can even layer weather radar over a satellite photo of the area! And, you can listen to XM Radio music or news and keep an eye on the latest sports scores or weather developments without leaving the GPS map screen2 ! As much or as little information as you choose can all be displayed together in various combinations on the extra large 3.5” full color LCD screen.

Easily create and store user proﬁles that let you store your most frequently used personal setups, including satellite photos of your favorite camping or hunting area. An Almanac screen uses data from internal sun and moon tables to

predict animal activity levels at different times of the day- for any date and location. Bushnell’s exclusive SafeTrack™

battery conservation feature extends your battery life while maintaining GPS contact, so you can check your current location anytime without the restart delay typical of other GPS receivers. You will ﬁnd your ONIX to be an invaluable companion for all your outdoor adventures. Just hit the “Hot” button to quickly see your current position, or view updated nearby weather conditions.

Before using your new ONIX, please read the instructions contained in this manual and take time to familiarize yourself with the unit’s operation and many great features. You may want to start near your home, by turning on the ONIX, then pressing the MENU button to run through the 7 Pages (SAT, NAV, Almanac, XM Radio, MAP, XM Weather, SET) while reading the manual section for each. After that, practice using the “Hot” button and 5-way button to see and select from a menu of options, perhaps on the SET screen by setting a few personal preferences for information displays. Once you begin feeling more comfortable with the controls and screens, the best way to really learn to use your ONIX is to take it outside (right in your own neighborhood or a local park), and let it lock onto the GPS satellite signals as you watch the SAT page (be patient, this can take 3 or 4 minutes the ﬁrst time you use it-make sure you have a clear view of the sky and are not right next to a large building for best results), then take a short walk and ﬁnish by using the ONIX to guide you back to your starting point (you can either mark a waypoint at the start by clicking the center of the 5-way button twice, or just begin walking, later following the dotted “breadcrumb” trail back). After that, you might try downloading a satellite photo of this local area, layer it on top of the map screen, and try walking the same trail again, setting a few waypoints as you go. Continue referring to this manual and practicing as often as necessary until you master the basics, before heading out on a hike of any signiﬁcant length or attempting to navigate an unfamiliar area.

BATTERY CHARGING, CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• The internal Lithium Ion battery pack must be charged before the ONIX can be used for the rst time. Make sure

the MicroSD card is inserted in the card slot ﬁrst, then attach the battery pack by lining it up with the opening on the bottom of the unit, pushing it straight onto the unit until ﬂush with the surface, then sliding the battery down towards the end with the USB and accessory ports, until it locks securely into place (to remove the battery, press the soft release area (see yellow arrow below) at the curved end of the battery, then slide it up and lift directly away from the ONIX body). Connect the supplied AC charging cord to the accessory connector port at the bottom of the unit, then into a wall outlet. When the Status LED changes from red to green, the battery is fully charged.

• The ONIX is designed to be waterproof to a depth of 1 meter (IPX7 rating), however it is recommended that the

user opens and checks the battery compartment following any submersion or prolonged exposure to rain, snow, etc. Any moisture observed inside the battery compartment or on the exterior of the battery pack or MicroSD card should be dried off immediately and completely. Prolonged submersion (over 30 minutes) and/or to water depths

greater than 1 meter can cause damage to the unit.

• If the ONIX exterior becomes dirty, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, then

wipe dry. To avoid possible scratches, a (dry) micro ﬁber cloth is ideal for cleaning the display screen. Do not use chemical solvents or cleaners of any type on the ONIX unit’s exterior, battery compartment, or display, as these may damage plastic components.

GETTING STARTED

1. You must charge the battery pack before using the ONIX400. Attach the battery pack (ﬁrst, verify that the MicroSD card is installed in its slot), referring to the instructions and photos on pg. 5. Plug

the AC charger cord into the accessory port (pg. 6), then into an AC outlet (110-120 volt/60 cycle).

2. The initial charge may take up to 4 hours. A full charge is indicated when the status LED below the orange Hot button changes from red to green. You may then disconnect the charger cord from the outlet and accessory port. Store it safely for future use.

3. To ensure adequate satellite signal strength, make sure you are in a location with an unobstructed view of the sky (GPS units typically do not work well indoors unless you are very near to a window)

4. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the display starts up.

5. Press the MENU button brieﬂy. You will see the Main Menu screen, with seven “pages” to choose from. Use the 5-way switch to select (highlight) S AT , then press the “OK” (center) button.

6. You are now viewing the Satellite (SAT) page. You will begin to see multiple icons on the circular

“radar” screen, representing the closest satellites to you in the global GPS system. These icons will turn green as the ONIX “locks on” to each satellite, and the satellite ID# will be shown. The bar graph below the “radar” screen indicates the relative signal strength of each satellite. Once you have a lock on at least 3 or 4 satellites, you are ready to navigate. Note that the satellite “lock” process will take longer (up to 3 or 4 minutes), the ﬁrst time you use your GPS in a new geographical area, but will be much faster on future usage in the same area later relocate more than 300 miles away from your initial area) page at any time, but will likely ﬁnd that you use it less than any other page-in fact, you may simply go directly to the MAP (or any other) page the next time you use your ONIX.

(see “Reset Data” in the SET Page>GPS options, if you

. You can check reception with the SAT

7. You’re ready to go! Let’s take a look in more detail at the other pages, then see how easy it is to enjoy the many features and capabilities of the ONIX400 for yourself to mark and name your own waypoints (locations or objects you want to return to later), navigate towards a nearby point of interest, layer a compass or weather radar over the map, and even listen to a ball game or your favorite music while you walk!

To use the XM Satellite Weather and/or Entertainment features of the ONIX400, you will ﬁrst need to set up your subscription to these XM services and activate XM reception for your unit. It’s fast and easy... just follow the directions on the “XM
