Lowrance electronic Lowrance iWAY 250C - Manual (Page 10)

4
NOTE:
When operating on external power the iWAY is designed to enter a
Standby mode if the external power source fails. For full details see
the discussion of power button functions in Section 4.
External Power and Standby Mode
The iWAY has an optional Standby Mode (on by default) which allows
the unit to conserve power while not in use. When the iWAY is in
Standby Mode it will activate quickly when powered up. If the iWAY is
running on external power and the power source is removed the iWAY
will display a dialog box informing you that it is about to enter Standby
Mode. If you want to keep operating the iWAY touch the screen to in-
terrupt automatic Standby. However, if the iWAY does enter Standby
in this manner it will automatically restart (or "wake up") as soon as
external power is reconnected.
Tip:
These features of Standby Mode can be particularly useful in vehi-
cles where the ignition controls the cigarette lighter. In such vehi-
cles connect the iWAY to external power. Turning the car off will
automatically place the iWAY in Standby and starting the car will
restart the iWAY.
External Connections
On the left side of the unit are two sockets for external connections.
These are, from top, the USB cable connection and the headphone con-
nection. The sockets on the right side of the iWAY, from top, are the
external GPS antenna, MMC card slot and external power cord. The
power button also is located on the right side of the unit.
NOTE:
Certain vehicles are equipped with special windshields containing
metal in the glass. These models may prevent any GPS unit from
receiving satellite signals and establishing a "lock." If the GPS will
not navigate inside, test it outside the car. Also, confirm the wind-
shield type by consulting your vehicle's owner's manual or the vehi-
cle dealer. If the iWAY has difficulty receiving satellite signals you
can use an optional external antenna. Some of these windshields
have a specific location where the external antenna will work. Oth-
erwise you must place the external antenna near a side window, a
rear window or on the car exterior with the magnet mount. To buy
an external antenna, see the accessory ordering information inside
this manual's back cover.
