PTIONS
The Outback must be in Trail Blazing or Multi-Leg to use any
of the features described in this section.
F
EATURES
Trail Blazing tracks your course as you travel, whereas Multi-Leg allows you
to follow a previously planned course. The only difference between Multi-
Leg and Trail Blazing is when and how the legs are stored. With Trail
Blazing, legs are stored as you travel on your journey. With Multi-Leg, legs
are planned and stored before your journey begins. Since Trail Blazing and
Multi-Leg have the same features, they are described in the same section of
the manual. Both Trail Blazing and Multi-Leg have the following features:
1) Memorizing Legs: Both Trail Blazing and Multi-Leg allow you to store and
follow up to 10 legs with a heading and time for each leg. The legs are
numbered L0 through L9.
4. The display words shows ÒPOINT FWDÓ and the arrow on the compass rose
points to the 12 oÕclock position.
5. Placing the Outback on a level, nonmagnetic surface which is at least three feet
away from any source of magnetic interference, or holding the Outback level in
your hand, align the compass to any point and press ENTER. This stores the first
calibration point.
6. Now the display words shows ÒTURN 180¡Ó. Again with the Outback level,
turn it 180¡ (half circle) and press ENTER.
7. The display word shows ÒCMPLTEÓ for two seconds, indicating calibration is
completed and the Outback returns to operating mode of Basic.
8. The direction the Outback is pointing when taking calibration points does not
matter. The important thing is that the two calibration points are 180¡ apart and
the Outback is as level as possible.
9. If the calibration process is not completed within 2 minutes, the Outback autom-
atically returns to operating mode and does not change the previous calibration.
10. If POWER is pressed at anytime during the calibration process, the Outback
discontinues calibration and shuts off. The previous calibration will not change.

ALIBRATION
1. The Outback must be in Basic to perform calibration
2. Hold MENU until PROGRAM flashes to enter programming mode. The display
word flashes, ÒPOWERÓ.
3. Press ADVANCE three times until the display word flashes, ÒCALIB 720¡Ó.
Then press ENTER.
4. The display word scrolls ÒTURN TWICEÓ, and the arrow on the compass rose
rotates clockwise around the compass rose. It is best to have the Outback placed
on a level, nonmagnetic surface such as a wood or plastic table which is at least
three feet from any source of magnetic interference.
5. Slowly rotate the compass in a circle, turning no more than one full circle in 10
seconds. The Outback is storing calibration data while the circles are being made.
6. The Outback stores data from two approximately two circles, but sometimes more
or less data is needed. Continue rotating the Outback in a circle until ÒCMPLTEÓ
is shown in the display word.
7. The direction the Outback is pointing when beginning or ending the rotations does
not matter, the important thing is the Outback is rotated until enough data is stored.
8. After calibration is completed, the Outback will automatically return to operating
mode of Basic.
9. If the calibration process is not completed within 2 minutes, the Outback
automatically returns to operating mode and does not change the previous calibration.
10. If POWER is pressed at anytime during the calibration process, the Outback
discontinues calibration and shuts off. The previous calibration will not change.
