Backlight Intensity —Specifi es how strong the backlight appears. Set to a higher percentage for a brighter
display. Note that operating the backlight at a higher percentage uses up the battery power more quickly.
Color Mode —Select between Daytime, Nighttime, Auto, or Custom for your viewing preferences. Daytime
shows a bright and lighter background. Nighttime shows a black background for less intensity in a dark
environment, which provides easier viewing while driving at night. Auto allows your Quest to automati-
cally switch between the two, depending on the time of day as well as the Quest’s calculation of sunrise and
sunset. Custom allows you to create your own color scheme for a variety of objects on the Quest such as
labels, buttons, and text bars. View the example in the right-hand column of this page.
To restore these items to their original settings, press the Quest MENU key while you are on the Display
Setup page. Select Restore Settings from the Menu window that appears.
Customizing the Overall System Setup
You can customize various system setup features on your Quest. Select System Setup from the Settings
page. The following items appear:
GPS Mode — GPS can be set to Normal, WAAS (the unit becomes WAAS-enabled), Battery Saver (which
periodically turns off the GPS receiver in order to save battery power), or GPS Off. See Understanding
the GPS Information Page, page 44, for more information on GPS. (Note: WAAS is a system of satellites
and ground stations that provide GPS signal corrections, giving you even better position accuracy. WAAS
corrects for GPS signal errors caused by ionospheric disturbances, timing, and satellite orbit errors, and it
provides vital integrity information regarding the health of each GPS satellite.)
Voice Guidance — This setting determines when the Quest “speaks.”
• Automatic with Chime: The unit speaks guidance messages during route navigation such as “Drive
point eight miles west, then turn right.” It also gives status messages such as “Lost Satellite Recep-
tion.” Each message is preceded with a chime. For each turn on a route, the voice gives instructions
three times: after you have completed a turn and are starting a new leg of the route;
as you areas you are
approaching the next new turn; and just before you reach the next turn.approaching the next new turn; and just before you reach the next turn.
