The power button can be used to quickly set the backlight intensity. A momentary
press of the power button (after the unit is powered on) will display a window showing
the current backlight setting. From this window the backlight setting can be adjusted
with the on screen controls, or a second momentary press of the POWER Button
changes the backlight level to full bright (10).
The first time the unit is turned on, the receiver must collect satellite data and
establish its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the aera 795/796 is
shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to “find itself”
anywhere in the world.
During initialization, current database information is displayed. Database information
includes valid operating dates, cycle number, and database type. When this information
has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot
is prompted to continue.
Touching the Press To Accept Button acknowledges this information, and the
Main Menu is displayed.
