ONIX 400 Model #36-4000 FEATURES

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.

• 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.

Page 9

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

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

later relocate more than 300 miles away from your initial area)

. You can check reception with the SAT 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.

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!

GETTING STARTED

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

Satellite Service Activation” page included in your ONIX information pack, or call 1-800-985-9200. In order to activate the XM Radio services, you will need your XM

Radio ID number. This ID# can be found on the product label inside the battery pack compartment, or on the SET page in the “Unit Info” (Go to the SET page, press UP or DOWN buttons to highlight “Unit Info”, then press the OK button to display all unit info, including your XM ID number).

EXPLORING THE PAGES : The MAP Page

The many functions and features of your ONIX400 are organized into seven “pages” or screens of related information. Press MENU, then use the 5-way button to select (highlight) a page, then press “OK” (center button) to view that page. The current page you are on is always indicated in the box at the top of the display, just below the “Bushnell” logo. Let’s take a tour of the various pages and the options they provide:

The MAP Page

You will primarily refer to the MAP page while navigating with the ONIX400. Using Bushnell’s exclusive screen layering, this page can display multiple location and navigation related information in a single view. The following items are always displayed on this page:

• Base Map (Fig. 1)-primary streets and location, similar to a basic road map.

• Cursor-shows your location and direction. The cursor can assume one

of three shapes (Fig. 2):

-a crosshairs cursor that allows you to pan the map, check the position of waypoints or POI when moved over them, use as a distance measuring tool, or create routes.

-a bearing arrow that shows your navigation direction when you are moving (or heading when you are not actively navigating)

-a circle-“you are here locator” to display your current location relative to the map

•Zoom Display Level-on lower left next to the Info Boxes. Shows scale or actual distance represented by height of current display (e.g. “10.2km”

span from top to bottom of screen). Use the “+” and “-” buttons to change the zoom level.

MAP Page Details (Layering Options)

You may choose to add other items to your view of the MAP page. To select these items, press the HOT button, then press the DOWN button to highlight “Map Detail”, and press OK. Use the 5-way button to move up and down the options (Fig. 3), press the center button to select (check) or deselect (uncheck) the items you wish to include in your view.

The Map Detail options list:

Note-Press the “+” button to see 2nd page of options, with:

i) County Warnings (within borders of your current county) j) Lightning

Note: not all weather data can be displayed simultaneously

(Other Map Detail options)

•Compass-indicates your current direction.

•Range Rings (Fig. 5)-visual tool that represents distance on your map

or photo within a circle. The distance shown is the radius of the circle. This radius is half the zoom level. Use Up/Down on the 5-way pad to adjust the radius of the rings, then press OK to exit.

• Photos (Aerial/Satellite) (Fig. 6) -superimposed over Base Map if desired. You do not need to manually select the right photo (or topo map) to use, as these downloaded ﬁles are “geo referenced”, enabling your ONIX to choose the correct photo automatically, based on your current location and zoom level. Note that while both types of images can be stored at the same time on your ONIX, only one of them (photo or topo map) can be displayed over the base map at a time.

•To po -the topographic map you choose from ﬁles you download and store in the ONIX will be layered over the base map

•North UP-when checked, the top of the screen is oriented due north. If unchecked, the top of the screen is oriented to your current direction of travel (i.e.“track up”-like automotive GPS units). Satellite photos and topo maps are displayed “North Up” by default.

• Map Data-turns on/off display of roads and places on the base map

•Bread Crumbs-a dotted line on the display showing the simple

path you’ve traveled. Breadcrumbs are automatically stored, but only displayed if this option is selected.

•Points of Interest-major or common facilities from a pre-programmed list (airports, hospitals, etc)

EXPLORING THE PAGES : Using the Info Boxes

• (not on the options list) Info Boxes-the wide rectangular Info Boxes at the bottom of the Page displays (along with two small Nav data boxes at

the top of the screen) allow you to keep an eye at all times on a wide variety of information, all user selectable-they let you to “customize” your Page displays. Take a moment to explore the Info Boxes by following the steps below:

Setting Up and Using the Info Boxes

The wide rectangular Info Boxes at the bottom of the Page display (along with two smaller boxes at the top of the screen) allow you to keep an eye at all times on a wide variety of information, all user selectable-they let you “customize” your display. Take a moment to explore the Info Boxes by following these steps:

1. Go to the MAP page if you are not already there (this example will use the MAP Page as a starting point, but Info Boxes are available on other Pages as well).

2. Hold the MENU button for 2 sec. You will see 4 “tabs” pop up above the

lower set of Info Boxes: Nav, Weather, Sports, XM. The “+” and “-” buttons let you select the “active” info box (indicated by tab currently at far left position). You’ll see the info box sets change as you select different tabs .

3. Press “+” until the “Nav” tab is on the far left (Fig. 7).The Nav related Info Boxes are now visible, active and can be changed to display the info that interests you most.

4. Use UP/DOWN buttons to highlight one of the listed options (for example, “Local Time” from the 3rd list) (Fig. 8), then press OK to checkmark it (press EXIT to return without changing the selected Info Box). The ﬁrst Info Box will change to display the local time-your new selection has replaced the previous type of info.

5. Press DOWN to select the second Info Box and repeat steps 3 & 4 to

change what is displayed in this box. Repeat the process again if you like for the third box. Note that if you choose “Location” (your latitude/

longitude) for one of your info boxes, it will take up 2 Info Boxes (latitude

is shown on top with longitude below).

6. You may have noticed that there is an option at the top of the ﬁrst list of information types labeled “No Information”. You may select this option for any of the Info Boxes if you prefer not to use one or more of themas selecting “No Information” will actually clear and remove that Info Box “slot” from the lower set of boxes. You can reduce the “stack” of three boxes you start with to just two, one or even zero. You can also press DOWN to step below the third box, where you will ﬁnd that a fourth box is “hidden”

because “No Information” is selected for display there. Simply select something else, and you can have up to a maximum of 4 Info Boxes in the lower part of your Map screen (Fig. 9).

7. Once you have set up the lower Info Boxes with a few different types of Nav data, press EXIT or hold MENU again to leave the Info Box setup process and return to normal display. The info you chose will still be displayed in the boxes, and any boxes with “No Information” selected will not appear.

8. You can also change the info displayed in the upper two Info Boxes, to show additional Nav related data (Fig. 10). After following step 2 above to highlight the ﬁrst lower Info Box, press UP and you will jump to the upper left Info Box. Press OK to see the list of info to display here (then press “+” to see a second list). As described in step 4, make a selection from one of the lists, then press OK. Press RIGHT to jump to the upper right Info Box and repeat. Once you have one or both upper boxes set up as you like, press EXIT.

In the previous example, you picked information types for the Info Boxes only from the Nav tab. Let’s try another one, like Weather. Hold MENU again to get back into the Info Box setup, then press “+” to make the Weather tab active (move it into far left position) (Fig. 11).

10.

Follow steps 3 through 6 above to set up Info Box displays for different kinds of weather related info. When ﬁnished, press the LEFT button, then EXIT, and the Info Boxes will now show the various weather information you selected. (Fig. 12) Note that you can also select “Weather at Destination” or “Local Weather” as one or two of your Info Boxes from the Nav tab, but the full list of weather related info is only available by selecting the Weather tab.

11.

Try the other tabs- selecting the “Sports” tab will let you see streaming XM information covering a variety of sports. Press DOWN to go to the ﬁrst Info Box, press OK and use LEFT/RIGHT to select a speciﬁc game or event in one of your sports categories. Press OK again to hold or “Push Pin” that game/event, and then press LEFT and EXIT. You now will see info relevant to that sport only, instead of news and scores for all the sports. (Fig. 13) You will also ﬁnd options on the XM Radio Page to set up your sports and team preferences.

12.

By selecting the “XM” tab, you can set up the Info Boxes to give you a choice of three different entertainment channel “presets” to listen to. Use the same process as you did before to change the channel selected for each box. Once you have your favorite channels set up on presets, let’s say you see the name of a song you like pop up on one of them, and you want to switch over to listen to it. Hold MENU, go DOWN to that Info Box, and press OK. If you were already listening to an XM Radio channel, it will “swap places” with the new one.

EXPLORING THE PAGES : The NAV Page & Almanac Page

The NAV Page

The NAV page provides a standard compass display, with arrows to indicate your last heading and/or current bearing, along with magnetic or true north indication and other optional navigation related data, depending on the display preferences the user has set up. (Fig. 15) This page is especially useful if you do not choose to see a compass image layered on top of the MAP pageyou may switch over to it at any time, then return to MAP page just as you left it. The ONIX400 utilizes a digital compass, so you do not need to be moving to obtain

a bearing, unlike GPS driven compasses. The digital compass is self-

calibrating (no user- initiated calibration routine is required).

The view options (press the HOT button, DOWN to Compass Options, press OK) of the NAV page include (F ig . 16):

•Heading Arrow-if user selected. Small arrow “head” only. Indicates the direction you are actually moving in.

•North Arrow-if user selected-points to true or magnetic north (user options). Identiﬁed by “N” circle at head of arrow.

•True North-direction to the earth’s geographic north pole.

•Magnetic North- direction to the earth’s magnetic north pole Note: you

can select True or Magnetic North, but not both together-they are mutually

exclusive. The NAV page also has a Bearing Arrow (Pg.10, Fig.2), which only appears during active navigation. This will be seen as a long black line with an arrow head. It indicates where you should go to get to your navigation destination, and is only valid while navigating.

To select what is displayed in the 2 upper Info Boxes (which always show Nav

related data), follow the procedure described previously in step 8 of “Setting Up and Using the Info Boxes”. Make sure the NAV tab is active ﬁrst (appears on the far left at the top of the lower Info Boxes). The defaults are Heading and Bearing Degrees, but these can easily be changed to display distance or time to your destination, average speed, local time, etc.

The ALMANAC Page

The Almanac page (Fig. 17) primarily is used to view the information stored in internal Solunar Edge* data tables, which includes times for sunrise, sunset, and times when the moon’s position is overhead or “underfoot”, along with a graphic showing the current moon phase. This solunar chart data can be displayed for your current position, or any waypoint, point of interest, a location in another

city or state, etc. You also have the option of viewing

solunar data for a past or future date. Many outdoorsmen have found that

animals and ﬁsh

seem to exhibit higher or lower levels of activity related to the position of the sun and moon (think of its effect on tides). The graph at the bottom of the Almanac page displays the estimated level of animal or ﬁsh activity based on the stored data. The “0” line in the middle represents an average level of activity, while “+” or “-” readings (respectively) indicate higher and lower activity levels.

Several options are available on the Almanac page:

• With the top box (above the moon phase graphic) selected, press the RIGHT key to see location options (Fig. 18) for the solunar data (data shown is for “where”?). To see the data for your current location, select “Where I Am”. Or, move your cursor on the MAP page anywhere you like, and select “Cursor” on the Almanac page to see the data for that location. Other options include selecting a waypoint you stored earlier, a POI, any geographic location (latitude/longitude), etc.

• Press the HOT button to open a ToolBox with three options (Fig. 19): Fishing Chart-highlight this and press OK (a checkmark will appear) if

you want the animal activity level chart to be relevant for ﬁsh. Hunting Chart-select and check this if you prefer the activity graph to indicated mammal activity levels. Set Timezone-select this and press OK to temporarily jump to the “Time”

options on the SET page (24 hr or AM/PM format, daylight savings, etc).

• To change the date (for example, if you want to see the solunar data and

predicted activity level for a day in the future), press the DOWN key to select the date box. Now you can press the LEFT or RIGHT keys to go back or move ahead to a different date. Or, press OK to get a popup one month calender, then use the 4-way keypad to select a date and press OK. Pressing the “-” or “+” buttons when the calender is displayed will change it to a past or future month.

• Press the DOWN key to select the “time period” box just above the graph,

then press either the OK button or RIGHT key to toggle between displaying an animal/ﬁsh activity chart for One Day (Fig. 20) (just the currently displayed date in the box above the time period) or for a One Month period of time.

Note: The green area that will appear shows the correction to the activity graph based on SoLunar Edge Technology. A red line indicates the selected day (One Month mode) or current time (One Day mode).

The XM Weather Page

After selecting the XM Weather Page you will see a display showing the various weather conditions and weather related information for a selected location (Fig. 21). Use the OK or HOT buttons to change the “When” or “Where” for the weather info.

Press the OK button on the 5-way pad to select and see the forecast for the current day, or any of up to 3 days later (Fig. 22). Press the HOT button to make the conditions and forecast relevant to these location options (Fig. 23):

• “Where I Am”-weather data for your current location

• Cursor-use the 5 way button ﬁrst to place the MAP page crosshair on a

different location on the map, then use this option to see the weather there.

• Destination-used while navigating to a waypoint, photo, POI, etc to view weather conditions near that location.

• Weather Center-select from a list of major cities (alphabetical order-use +/- buttons to go to additional pages of the city list)

• Find/Go To-pick from the standard list (same as this option in the MAP page menu) of locations and places to see the weather there.

• Update Data-select this option and press the Right button to choose: Update Now (updates weather information to the latest available), Auto Update (let the ONIX update weather info automatically on a regular basis) or Data Status (monitor the age of the displayed weather data, reception status, XM satellite signal strength, etc). Note: “Auto Update” is

a battery saving XM operating mode which limits active XM satellite contact time (much like SafeTrack does with regard to the GPS satellites). With Auto Update selected, you will not be able to receive “streaming” XM signals, such as entertainment radio, and the Radar Summary feature will not function (Update Now also does not provide a Radar Summary). XM reception is activated brieﬂy at regular intervals, and only to receive updated weather and sports information. To return to continuous operation, press the Power button brieﬂy to go to the Power menu.

The XM Radio Page

(Fig. 24) (Plug supplied earbuds into audio jack)

This page is used to select from any of the over 170 XM channels of music,

news, sports and talk for your audio entertainment. To quickly listen to one channel, press the Right button to see the channel list, then use the Up/Down buttons to highlight the channel you want. Press OK to listen to it-or press the Right/Left buttons to browse other categories of channels. You can also press the HOT button while you are on the XM page, and use the options in the menu you will see to mark favorite channels, hide channels you aren’t interested in, set up the channel monitor box at the bottom of the screen to easily swap listening channels-and even turn the box into your personal “Scoreboard” to monitor your favorite sports teams and scores. Please see pages 26 & 27 for

details on using the XM Radio HOT button menu.

The SAT Page (Fig. 25)

As seen earlier in “Getting Started”, the SAT page view is used to identify the quality or strength of the satellite signals being received by the unit. The Info Boxes on the bottom of the satellite page are used to identify your location, shown as Location (latitude, longitude) and Altitude (above sea level). The items displayed on the satellite page view are ﬁxed, and cannot be changed by the user, so there is are no options or settings menus for this page.

The SET Page

The SET page user options (Fig. 26) include all the following:

• User Proﬁle (Fig. 27)-select to customize and set various display options. You can save different sets of screen conﬁgurations that are best suited to your different activities. To save a proﬁle, select an activity from the list (hiking/camping, etc), then press the right arrow to save your current display conﬁguration under that name. The checkmark indicates the current active proﬁle. One “custom” user proﬁle may bet setup and selected in addition to the other ﬁve pre-named proﬁles for common activities (Hiking/Camping, Hunting, Inland Boating, Ocean Boating, Geocaching, Custom). You may also choose to “Reset to default” instead of saving your current settings as one of the

proﬁles-this restores the original factory default screen conﬁguration (display options for all pages).

• GPS-press the right button and select GPS satellite reception “ON” to for normal GPS operation, select “OFF” to conserve battery life if you are not going to be navigating and only want to use the XM weather or entertainment services, or while you are getting more familiar with your ONIX indoors where GPS reception is not possible. Two other options are available:

WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System)- turning WAAS on will provide slightly better GPS accuracy in the United States. As this can decrease battery life, you may want to keep it turned off for most normal navigation activities. Cold Start Receiver-press OK to re-activate GPS satellite reception (“cold start”). This will force the ONIX to clear the satellite “almanac” information, which is stored automatically during the ﬁrst power-on to speed up the process of choosing the best GPS satellites for your usual starting area. If this almanac data is no longer valid, it will cause longer startup times. Enabling a cold start is recommended if you have re-located to a new area that is over 300 miles away from your last power-on position. Note that this will only take effect the next time the unit is powered on-there is no advantage or reason to force a cold start if the unit has already locked onto satellites in a reasonable amount of time, and are still within about a 300-mile radius of the location where you ﬁrst powered up the ONIX.

• Compass-options to select your preferred navigation display units (Degrees, Cardinal Letter, or Mils) and North Reference (True or Magnetic).

• XM Radio-Options under this item (press the Right button to view) are (Fig.28):

1) XM Sports/Weather (Fig.29)- Off, On or Auto Update. Auto Update wakes the XM receiver only for periodic updates of weather and sports, which conserves battery life. When selected, streaming entertainment audio will not be possible.

2) Channel Number Entry- when enabled, pressing the Left button lets you type in a channel # on the onscreen keypad. If disabled, the Left/ Right buttons are used to go to the previous/next channel.

3) Reset Hidden Channels-restores ability to view hidden channels.

4) External Antenna-enable or disable access to the accessory port (used for the optional external XM antenna headphone accessory)

5) XM Radio ID-view the unique ID# for your ONIX unit (see the included XM Satellite Service Activation page). You will need this ID# for service activation.

• Time-sets time format: 24 hr or AM/PM, North American time zone, UTC

(Universal Time) Offset (for other time zones), daylight savings.

• Units-selecting distance/speed units, elevation units, GPS position format, and datum (default for North America is WGS84-see the glossary for more info.)

• Language- selects language used for all display menus and option screens.

• Owner Info- allows you to input personal information for identiﬁcation (this can be shown during startup if desired). Please refer to the “How to

Set or Edit Names” section on page 25 for details on how to enter letters

and numerals.

• Reset Data-(Fig. 30) allows you to reset (clear) all existing data, or just selected speed, distance or time related data. Press OK or Right to check an item, then OK to reset it. After resetting, the “checkmark” next to the item will disappear. A common use of “Reset Data” is to clear the old “Breadcrumbs” (trail marks) from a past trip to the same area.

• Unit Info-provides hardware/software version numbers, serial number, and XM Radio ID.

unit to scan and lock on to the GPS satellites during the ﬁrst power up in a

new area-but will be faster when it is powered on again later in the same area. (See “Reset Data” in the SET Page>GPS options, if you later relocate more than 300 miles away from this initial area). Once it has locked into the satellites (ideally, 4 or more), the satellite position icons will stop blinking and turn green, you are ready to begin using the ONIX. The next step is your choice-you may go to the NAV or SET page to select options or make personal settings ﬁrst, or begin navigating by going directly to the MAP page.

The simplest GPS function is to mark your present location. Any location that you choose to mark is called a “waypoint”. To set a waypoint at your current position, just press “OK” (center of the 5-way button). You will see the Waypoint Menu (Fig. 31), with the default name assigned to the new

waypoint (WPT000, WPT001, etc) shown at the top, with these options

below it: Set Waypoint, Edit Name, Edit Icon, Edit Alert. Since “Set Waypoint” is already highlighted, simply press OK again to accept “WPT###” as the name and create a waypoint at your current position. See below for details on how to edit a waypoint name and icon before setting it-this might make it easier to ﬁnd later. Or, you can rename a previously set waypoint, change its icon, or delete it entirely at any time in the future (Fig. 32). If you choose not to set the waypoint, or you want to delete the waypoint, simply exit via the left arrow (press LEFT on the 5-way pad).

To edit the text, arrow up to the waypoint name, then click OK and use the

keypad screen you will see to create a name to replace it (see pg. 25 for

detailed instructions). You can also move down to select the icon, and again press OK and choose from the available different icons (Fig. 33). Move down to the alarm icon in the popup window and press OK to turn on the alarm for that waypoint. The last item in the popup allows you to delete the waypoint (you will be asked if you are sure, to prevent accidental deletions).

Creating a Map Area (My Map Areas)

A special feature available on the MAP page lets the user deﬁne a polygonal (triangle, square, etc) area of any size, placed anywhere, which can then be used to simply measure that area (displayed as total square mileage or footage), help deﬁne map and property boundaries, and/or generate an alert message when the area is either entered or exited. This is done by placing a minimum of three virtual “fence posts” on the map which are used to deﬁne the limits of the area (Fig. 34, next page). The process for setting up a custom Map Area is outlined on the next page. More information

about utilizing the “My Map Areas” features can be found at: http://www. bushnell.com/gps/ by clicking the Product Support link.

How to Deﬁne a New Map Area (Using “Fence Posts”):

• Click the HOT button to get the HOT menu, then press “+” to switch

to the “My Stuff” menu.

• Highlight “My Map Areas” and press OK-you will see “Create New

Map Area”, already selected. Press OK.

• A default name for the new Map Area is assigned (MPA001), and

you’ll see 3 options: Add Fence Post, Edit Name, and Delete. You can edit the name of the Map Area now, or change it later. Select “Add Fence Post” and press OK. The default name for your ﬁrst Fence Post is

“FP001”, this can be changed later if you like.

• Use the 4-way keypad to move the Fence Post if you need to ne

tune its location (zoom in ﬁrst with the “+” key if necessary.

• Once you have the rst Fence Post where you want it, press OK to

conﬁrm and set it. Its name will then be displayed under the Map Area

heading (MPA001). Press OK or the RIGHT key to see these options

(Fig. 35)

Move-change the position of this Fence Post Edit Name-change the name for this Fence Post Set as Post #1-after selecting a previously placed Fence Post, select

this option and press OK to use the same Fence Post as the starting point of a new (adjacent) Map Area. Delete-erase the Fence Post

• Keep using “Insert After” to add Fence Posts until you have placed

at least three or four to deﬁne the boundaries of the Map Area you are creating. Press EXIT or the LEFT key to see the Map Areas List, with your new Map Area added. With the name of the Map Area selected, press the RIGHT key to view the Area on the base map, with lines visible between the Fence Posts. The Info Box at the bottom of the display will automatically show the total area (in square miles) of the Map Area. If your Map Area is very small, the Info Box changes to

square feet instead of miles. If you need to know the area in acres, 1

sq. mi.=640 acres, so simply multiply the number in the info box by

640. For small areas, divide the square feet by 43560 to see the total area in acres.

• Press EXIT to return to the Map Areas list. Press OK to see the list of

Using the HOT Button

The HOT Menu

When you are on the MAP or NAV page, all basic navigation actions are easily controlled by Bushnell’s exclusive “HOT button”. The HOT button is also used to select the view options for the current display Page. Let’s take a look-from the MAP page, click the HOT button to view the “HOT Menu”, then use the DOWN or UP keys to select (highlight) an option (Fig. 38):

• Where Am I?: Press OK to see your current location on the map display. This function lines up the GPS position icon (small black circle) with the crosshair pointer icon.

• Find / Go To: Click OK or the RIGHT key to ﬁnd or go to any of the listed items (note that you can only select from previously stored items, not create a new one, when using the Find/GoTo feature). After selecting your destination and pressing OK, the title of the destination will show in a yellow box at the top of the screen, and the bearing arrow will point in the correct direction to take you to it. To stop this navigation activity, press the HOT button again-you will see the option to stop. Press OK to conﬁrm you want to stop navigating, and you will be returned back to the MAP page screen, but without the bearing arrow pointing the way to a speciﬁc destination. The bearing arrow effectively becomes a “heading arrow” once you stop navigating. The available Find/GoTo items you can choose for navigation or viewing are (Fig. 39):

1) Nearest Waypoints-a short list of close by waypoints

End & Save Trail

(Fig. 47)

(only available after a New Trail has been started): select this when you reach the end of a new trail, saving it in memory for later recall. You will have the option of naming the trail so it is easy to ﬁnd in your “My Trails” list. Note: this option will

only be

seen if you are already actively navigating a trail you

started.

• My Routes (same 5 options as listed above for “My Trails”)-a Route is the most direct or shortest path between two points. “Routes” are more often used for water based navigation (due to the reduced number of natural obstacles), whereas “trails” are more useful on land.

• My Photos -you have the options here to navigate towards a

stored satellite photo or topo map, and to manage them (photos &

maps are downloaded, not user created).

• My Map Areas - options here to navigate towards a previously created map area, and to manage them.

SafeTrack™ Battery Conservation Mode

SafeTrack is a Bushnell exclusive feature that extends and conserves battery power, without the wait to re-establish GPS satellite contact after a full power down. When you are in SafeTrack mode, the display screen will shut off, and the status LED will blink green. Intermittent satellite contact is maintained, so you will quickly be able to check your current location or progress. To enter SafeTrack mode, press and hold the HOT button. You will see the SafeTrack screen (Fi g. 48), with a count down delay (time can be adjusted in the Set Page Menu) before the unit enters SafeTrack mode. If you accidently hold the HOT button down, select “Cancel” and press OK. If you do not cancel, at the end of the countdown, the unit will be in SafeTrack mode. The display will black out, and you will no longer be able to receive streaming XM radio, sports updates, or other continuous signals. The ONIX will automatically make GPS satellite contact every 5 minutes (default, can be changed in SafeTrack Options menu), which extends battery life signiﬁcantly while still allowing you to instantly get a ﬁx on your location and resume navigation when you exit SafeTrack mode.

Note: XM Satellite “Auto Update” mode can be used at the same time as SafeTrack, to limit XM reception to intermittent weather info updates, resulting in even greater battery life extension. The GPS and XM satellite receivers in the ONIX400 are independent of each other.

How to Set or Edit Names for Waypoints, Trails, Map Areas, etc.

(Using the Type Tool)

With “Edit Name” selected, click OK to bring up the Type Tool, a “virtual keyboard” (Fig. 50). This is a multi-function tool that is controlled by the 5-way button. Your currently selected character is highlighted. Move LEFT/RIGHT or UP/DOWN to select letters, then press OK to enter your selected characteryou’ll see it appear in the name near the top of the display. Use the LEFT/RIGHT

keys to move around in a row (it “wraps around” when you go past the 1st

or last character in a row), and use UP/DOWN to move through the columns. The Text Tool automatically switches to lower case after starting a word with upper case, but you may use “SHIFT”(select, press OK) to change it anytime. Use “back” to backspace if you make a mistake, or to delete the default “WPT 000” assigned to a new waypoint before starting to “type” your preferred name for it. To insert a space, select “_”. To switch from letter characters to numbers or symbols, press the “+” or “-“ buttons (you will see the tabs at the top of the Text Tool change). Once you are ﬁnished creating or editing the name for your waypoint, trail, etc, be sure to select “done” and press OK to actually conﬁrm and enter the name in the memory of the ONIX350.

How to Set or Edit Icons

(Using the Icon Menu)

With “Edit Icon” selected, click OK and the display will show a menu of icons (Fi g. 51), or common symbols, that you may choose to represent your waypoint on the map. If you have previously set up a user proﬁle for a particular type of activity (for example, camping), the group of icons that appears in the icon selection menu will be the ones most relevant to that activity. Simply use the LEFT/RIGHT and UP/DOWN keys to move around the available icons, press OK to select one (you will see it appear next to the name at the top of the display), then select “done” and press OK again to conﬁrm and enter the icon, so it appears on the map along with the name.
