Using Demo Mode

Demo mode turns the GPS receiver off for use indoors or for practice. The unit does not track satellites in Demo mode.
Caution: Do not try to navigate using Demo mode because the GPS receiver is turned off. Any satellite signal-strength bars shown are only simulations and do not represent the strength of actual satellite signals.

You can use the Oregon as a USB mass storage device, and you can purchase a separate microSD card for additional external memory.
Note: The Oregon is not compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, or NT. It is also not compatible with Mac OS 10.3 or earlier. To load a file onto the Oregon or microSD card: 1. Remove the battery cover and insert a microSD card (page 37). 2. Connect the USB cable to the Oregon and your computer. 3. Copy the file from your computer. 4. Paste the file into the Garmin or the microSD card/volume.
To delete a file from the Oregon or microSD card: 1. Open the Garmin or SD card drive/volume. 2. Highlight the file and press the Delete key on your computer keyboard. Caution: When deleting files, do not delete pre-programmed map data (files that end with.img). It is not recoverable.

Optimizing Battery Life

Use premium batteries for optimal performance and maximum battery life. The best performance is provided by lithium batteries, precharged (ready-to-use) NiMH batteries, and NiMH rechargeable batteries less than one year old with a capacity greater than 2500mAh.
Oregon Series Owners Manual39
Consider the following suggestions to maximize battery life: Do not adjust the backlight more than is necessary (page 3). Using a backlight level above 50% of maximum level for a prolonged period of time, will significantly decrease battery life. Select a shorter backlight timeout (page 26). Turn tones off if not needed (page 25).Turn electronic compass off if not needed (page 31). If you plan on using the Oregon extensively in your automobile, consider purchasing a vehicle power cable (http://buy.garmin. com).
Restoring Factory Default Settings
You can restore your Oregon to the original factory settings. Changes you have made using Setup are restored to the default settings. To restore factory settings, touch Setup > Reset > Restore Defaults to Factory Settings > Yes.
