Grayscale Display ONIX 200 / 200CR Color Display GPS RECEIVER Quick Start Guide English Model #s: 362000/362005 Lit# 98-0908/07-07
Thank you for purchasing the Bushnell ONIX Series! The ONIX has been designed to be much simpler to operate than other handheld GPS receivers, while offering exclusive and unique features such as the ability to layer satellite photos or topographic maps (downloaded from BushnellGPS. com) right over your trail map screen, providing a “real world” frame of reference that other GPS units lack.
Warnings and Notices GPS System & Map Data Accuracy Notice: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. All map data sources contain some level of inaccuracies or incomplete data. Bushnell strives to provide the most recent map information at a reasonable cost.
How Does “GPS” Work? GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”. Launched by the United States Department of Defense, GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth at nearly 11,000 miles. These satellites are traveling at a speed that allows them to circle the earth twice each day while emitting a very low power signal. The signals are timed by clocks that are highly accurate and are received by one of 5 ground stations.

ONIX Parts Identification/Overview “Hot” Button: controls all actions (navigation, initiate “Where Am I” feature, activate SafeTrack, etc.) SafeTrack/GPS Signal Indicator Light (pg.18) 5-Way Button: Used to navigate on Page View Button: screen, select from menu options, Flips through the 4 and create waypoints. Press up/ basic screens (SAT, down arrows to select items in a MAP, NAV, SET). menu, right arrow to view submenus Hold down to see (if available), left arrow to exit the display options in menu.
The Four Main Pages (Overview) There are 4 different “pages” you can select from to view on the display screen. To cycle through these pages in their order as shown below, press the Page View button on the top right of the ONIX. The pages and their function are: 1. The SAT (Satellite) Page 1. SAT Page The purpose of this page is to enable the user to view information related to the reception of GPS satellite signals by the ONIX.
The Four Main Pages (Overview) 3. The NAV (Navigation) 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. This page is especially useful if you do not choose to see a compass image layered on top of the MAP page-you may switch over to it at any time, then return to MAP page just as you left it.
Fig. 1 SAT Page Fig. 2 Range Ring MAP Page (with Compass layer) 10 Page View Details 1. SAT Page View (Fig. 1) The SAT page view is used to identify the quality or strength of the satellite signals being received by the unit. Navigation data boxes on the satellite page are used to identify your location, shown as POSition (latitude, longitude) and ELEVation (altitude above sea level). The items displayed on the satellite page view are fixed, and cannot be changed by the user.
Page View Details •Battery Indicator-shows battery condition or indicated USB power when connected to a PC •Zoom Display Level-scale or actual distance represented by height of current display (e.g. “241 Meters” span from top to bottom of screen). Screen Layering Options (User Selected) You may choose to add other items to your view of the MAP page. To select these items, hold down the PAGE button for 2 seconds-you will see a map page display options screen (Fig. 3).

Setting a waypoint with your ONIX is as easy as clicking the “OK” key (center of the 5-way switch) twice. The 1st click calls up the Waypoint Edit Options, along with the Set Waypoint Selection (Fig. 12). At this point, you can confirm you want to set the waypoint by clicking “OK” again, and it will be set.

Glossary •Accuracy: A measure of how close an estimate of a GPS position is to the true location. •Acquisition Time: The time it takes a GPS receiver to acquire satellite signals and determine the initial position. •Active Leg: The segment of a route currently being traveled. A “segment” is that portion of a route between any two waypoints in the route. •Altimeter: An instrument for determining elevation. •Altitude: The current elevation above sea level.
Glossary (i.e., data identified according to their location). In practical use, GIS often refers to the computer system, software, and the data collection equipment, personnel, and actual data. •Global Positioning System (GPS): A global navigation system based on 24 or more satellites orbiting the earth at an altitude of 12,000 statue miles and providing very precise, worldwide positioning and navigation information 24 hours a day, in any weather. Also called the NAVSTAR system.
Glossary •Route: A group of waypoints entered into the GPS receiver in the sequence you desire to navigate them. •Statute Mile: A unit of length equal to 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards (1,609 meters) used in the U.S. and some other English-speaking countries. •Time To First Fix (TTFF): If you have not used your GPS unit for several months, the almanac data for the satellites may be out of date. The unit is capable of recollecting this information on its own, but the process can take several minutes.
