Getting Started When using your device the first time, you should complete these tasks to set up the device and get to know the basic features. 1 Charge the device (page 1). 2 Learn about profiles and sensor data (page 2). 3 Acquire satellites and record your track (page 2). 4 Mark and navigate to a waypoint (page 3). 5 Learn about applications (page 5). 6 Stream data from your NMEA 2000® network (page 9). 7 Register the device (page 15).
Sensors and GPS Data 4 Select an option. Viewing the Data Pages Calibrating the Barometric Altimeter Customizable data pages allow you to quickly access real-time data for the compass, barometer, and temperature sensors. When you begin tracking or navigating, additional data pages appear. Data pages can also show data streamed from your NMEA 2000 network through a Garmin® GNT™. From the time of day page, select or to cycle through the data pages. NOTE: Sensor data is not recorded to the device.
The two pointer marks à serve as a bearing pointer. The top blue mark Ä points in the direction you are facing. 9 Align the pointer marks with the top blue mark. 10 Continue to travel in that direction until you reach the destination.

TIP: If the burn time is negative, you will arrive at the start line after the race starts, and should modify your course or speed accordingly. If the burn time is positive, you will arrive at the start line before the race starts, and should modify your course or speed accordingly.
NOTE: When you recalibrate the port or starboard tack direction, the tack angle remains the same, and the mean true wind direction and the opposite tack direction are recalculated. • To change the tack angle, select Tack Angle, and select an angle. NOTE: When you change the tack angle, the mean true wind direction remains the same, and the port and starboard tacks each change by half of the amount of change in the tack angle with respect to the true wind direction.
When the devices are paired, the autopilot screen appears on the quatix. After your device is paired with your autopilot, it automatically reconnects with your autopilot every time it is within range. NOTE: To pair with a different autopilot, hold and to reset the existing autopilot pair, and repeat steps 2 and 3. Using Autopilot Before you can use the quatix to control an autopilot, you must install and configure a compatible Garmin GHP™ autopilot system and pair your quatix with the GHC device.
5 Select an option: • Select Set Course to navigate to the distant object. • Select Project (page 3). 6 Navigate using the compass (page 2) or map (page 5). Calculating the Size of an Area Before you can calculate the size of an area, you must acquire satellites (page 2). 1 Select the blue key. 2 Select GPS Tools > Area Calc.. 3 Walk around the perimeter of the area you want to calculate. 4 When you are finished, select the blue key to calculate the area.
tempe The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your device to display temperature data from the tempe. Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor NOTE: If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this task. You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just below your breastplate.

ELEVATION: The altitude of your current location above or below sea level. FINAL DEST (waypoint at final destination): The last point on the route to the destination. You must be navigating for this data to appear. FINAL DIST (distance to final destination): The remaining distance to the final destination. You must be navigating for this data to appear.
GWD (ground wind direction): The direction of the wind relative to the land, referenced from the north. G WIND CHL (ground wind chill): The temperature of the wind chill relative to the land. GWS (ground wind speed): The speed of the wind relative to the ground. When there are no currents and no leeway, the ground wind speed is equivalent to the true wind speed.
