e Almanac Page and Solunar Edge Technology

by Speedtech^®Instruments

e Bushnell ONIX 400 features a unique Almanac page, which uses patented Solunar Edge

technology developed by Speedtech® Instruments to provide a signiﬁcantly more accurate

predictor of animal and ﬁsh activity than standard “sun & moon tables”, providing the most

reliable activity predictions for your location.

About Solunar Edge Technology

e various environmental conditions aﬀecting wildlife behavior have been integrated in a

mathematical algorithm to determine optimal animal and ﬁsh activity times. e factors

and relationships used in the instrument were obtained through an extensive study of the

scientiﬁc literature, and use of well documented wildlife behavior studies. is information,

combined with discussions with wildlife biologists and experienced outdoorsmen, has

contributed to the development of the software used in the Solunar Edge to provide you

with the ability to determine the absolute best predictor of animal and ﬁsh activity.

Thank you for purchasing the Bushnell ONIX400 – the most advanced outdoor navigation device available today!

This device is capable of receiving both GPS Satellite and XM Satellite Radio signals in an outdoor environment.

The ONIX400 comes preloaded with a base road map of the United States and Canada including a Points of Interest

data base.The GPS receiver has the capability to receive satellite signals worldwide.The XM Satellite Radio receiver

presently only functions in the United States and Canada.

ONIX has been designed to be much simpler to operate than other handheld GPS receivers,while offering powerful

features like TruView navigation,which allows you to layer satellite photos or topographic maps right over your trail

map screen, providing a useful“real world”frame of reference¹. And for the ﬁrst time in a handheld GPS device, the

ONIX400 lets you receive and view XM Weather data for your location right on the map-you can even layer weather

radar over a satellite photo of the area! And, you can listen to XM Radio music or news and keep an eye on the latest

sports scores or weather developments without leaving the GPS map screen²! As much or as little information as

you choose can all be displayed together in various combinations on the extra large 3.5”full color LCD screen.

Easily create and store user proﬁles that let you store your most frequently used personal setups, including satellite

photos of your favorite camping or hunting area.An Almanac screen uses data from internal sun and moon tables to

predict animal activity levels at different times of the day- for any date and location.Bushnell’s exclusive SafeTrack™

battery conservation feature extends your battery life while maintaining GPS contact,so you can check your current

location anytime without the restart delay typical of other GPS receivers.You will ﬁnd your ONIX to be an invaluable

companion for all your outdoor adventures. Just hit the “Hot” button to quickly see your current position, or view

updated nearby weather conditions.

Before using your new ONIX, please read the instructions contained in this manual and take time to familiarize

yourself with the unit’s operation and many great features.You may want to start near your home,by turning on the

ONIX, then pressing the MENU button to run through the 7 Pages (SAT, NAV, Almanac, XM Radio, MAP, XM Weather,

SET) while reading the manual section for each. After that, practice using the“Hot”button and 5-way button to see

and select from a menu of options,perhaps on the SET screen by setting a few personal preferences for information

displays.Once you begin feeling more comfortable with the controls and screens,the best way to really learn to use

your ONIX is to take it outside (right in your own neighborhood or a local park), and let it lock onto the GPS satellite

signals as you watch the SAT page (be patient, this can take 3 or 4 minutes the ﬁrst time you use it-make sure you

have a clear view of the sky and are not right next to a large building for best results), then take a short walk and

ﬁnish by using the ONIX to guide you back to your starting point (you can either mark a waypoint at the start by

clicking the center of the 5-way button twice, or just begin walking, later following the dotted “breadcrumb” trail

back). After that, you might try downloading a satellite photo of this local area, layer it on top of the map screen,

and try walking the same trail again, setting a few waypoints as you go. Continue referring to this manual and

practicing as often as necessary until you master the basics, before heading out on a hike of any signiﬁcant length

or attempting to navigate an unfamiliar area.

• The ONIX is designed to be waterproof to a depth of 1 meter (IPX7 rating), however it is recommended that the

user opens and checks the battery compartment following any submersion or prolonged exposure to rain, snow,

etc.Any moisture observed inside the battery compartment or on the exterior of the battery pack or MicroSD card

should be dried off immediately and completely. Prolonged submersion (over 30 minutes) and/or to water depths

greater than 1 meter can cause damage to the unit.

• If the ONIX exterior becomes dirty, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, then

wipe dry. To avoid possible scratches, a (dry) micro ﬁber cloth is ideal for cleaning the display screen. Do not use

chemical solvents or cleaners of any type on the ONIX unit’s exterior,battery compartment,or display,as these may

damage plastic components.

getting started

1. You must charge the battery pack before using the ONIX400. Attach the battery pack (ﬁrst, verify

that the MicroSD card is installed in its slot), referring to the instructions and photos on pg. 5. Plug

the AC charger cord into the accessory port (pg. 6), then into an AC outlet (110-120 volt/60 cycle).

2. The initial charge may take up to 4 hours.A full charge is indicated when the status LED below the

orange Hot button changes from red to green.You may then disconnect the charger cord from the

outlet and accessory port. Store it safely for future use.

3. To ensure adequate satellite signal strength,make sure you are in a location with an unobstructed

view of the sky (GPS units typically do not work well indoors unless you are very near to a window)

4. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the display starts up.

5. Press the MENU button brieﬂy.You will see the Main Menu screen, with seven “pages” to choose

from. Use the 5-way switch to select (highlight) SAT, then press the“OK”(center) button.

6. You are now viewing the Satellite (SAT) page.You will begin to see multiple icons on the circular

“radar” screen, representing the closest satellites to you in the global GPS system. These icons will

turn green as the ONIX“locks on”to each satellite, and the satellite ID# will be shown.The bar graph

below the“radar”screen indicates the relative signal strength of each satellite. Once you have a lock

on at least 3 or 4 satellites, you are ready to navigate. Note that the satellite “lock” process will take

longer (up to 3 or 4 minutes), the ﬁrst time you use your GPS in a new geographical area, but will be

much faster on future usage in the same area (see “Reset Data” in the SET Page>GPS options, if you

later relocate more than 300 miles away from your initial area).You can check reception with the SAT

page at any time, but will likely ﬁnd that you use it less than any other page-in fact, you may simply

go directly to the MAP (or any other) page the next time you use your ONIX.

7. You’re ready to go! Let’s take a look in more detail at the other pages, then see how easy it is

to enjoy the many features and capabilities of the ONIX400 for yourself to mark and name your

own waypoints (locations or objects you want to return to later), navigate towards a nearby point

of interest, layer a compass or weather radar over the map, and even listen to a ball game or your

favorite music while you walk!

To use the XM Satellite Weather and/or Entertainment features of the ONIX400,

you will ﬁrst need to set up your subscription to these XM services and activate

XM reception for your unit. It’s fast and easy... just follow the directions on the “XM

Satellite Service Activation” page included in your ONIX information pack, or call

1-800-985-9200. In order to activate the XM Radio services, you will need your XM

Radio ID number.This ID# can be found on the product label inside the battery pack

compartment, or on the SET page in the “Unit Info” (Go to the SET page, press UP or

DOWN buttons to highlight “Unit Info”, then press the OK button to display all unit

info, including your XM ID number).

eXPloring the Pages : the naV Page & almanac Page

The NAV 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. (Fig. 15) 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.The ONIX400 utilizes a digital compass, so you do not need to be moving to

obtain a bearing, unlike GPS driven compasses. The digital compass is self-

calibrating (no user- initiated calibration routine is required).

Fig 15. NAV Page

The view options (press the HOT button, DOWN to Compass Options, press

OK) of the NAV page include (Fig. 16):

•Heading Arrow-if user selected. Small arrow “head” only. Indicates the

direction you are actually moving in.

•North Arrow-if user selected-points to true or magnetic north (user

options). Identiﬁed by“N”circle at head of arrow.

•True North-direction to the earth’s geographic north pole.

•Magnetic North- direction to the earth’s magnetic north pole Note: you

can selectTrue or Magnetic North,but not both together-they are mutually

exclusive.

The NAV page also has a Bearing Arrow (Pg.10, Fig.2), which only appears

during active navigation.This will be seen as a long black line with an arrow

head.It indicates where you should go to get to your navigation destination,

and is only valid while navigating.

Fig 16. NAV Page

View Options

To select what is displayed in the 2 upper Info Boxes (which always show Nav

related data), follow the procedure described previously in step 8 of“Setting

Up and Using the Info Boxes”. Make sure the NAV tab is active ﬁrst (appears

on the far left at the top of the lower Info Boxes). The defaults are Heading

and Bearing Degrees, but these can easily be changed to display distance or

time to your destination, average speed, local time, etc.

The ALMANAC Page

The Almanac page (Fig.17) primarily is used to view the information stored in

internal Solunar Edge* data tables, which includes times for sunrise, sunset,

and times when the moon’s position is overhead or “underfoot”, along with

a graphic showing the current moon phase. This solunar chart data can

be displayed for your current position, or any waypoint, point of interest, a

location in another city or state, etc. You also have the option of viewing

solunar data for a past or future date. Many outdoorsmen have found that

eXPloring the Pages : the almanac Page

animals and ﬁsh seem to exhibit higher or lower levels of activity related to

the position of the sun and moon (think of its effect on tides). The graph at

the bottom of the Almanac page displays the estimated level of animal or

ﬁsh activity based on the stored data. The “0” line in the middle represents

an average level of activity, while “+” or “-” readings (respectively) indicate

higher and lower activity levels.

Several options are available on the Almanac page:

eXPloring the Pages : the sat and set Pages

The SAT Page (Fig. 25)

As seen earlier in “Getting Started”, the SAT page view is used to identify the

quality or strength of the satellite signals being received by the unit. The Info

Boxes on the bottom of the satellite page are used to identify your location,

shown as Location (latitude, longitude) and Altitude (above sea level). The

items displayed on the satellite page view are ﬁxed, and cannot be changed

by the user, so there is are no options or settings menus for this page.

The SET Page

The SET page user options (Fig. 26) include all the following:

• User Proﬁle (Fig. 27)-select to customize and set various display options.

You can save different sets of screen conﬁgurations that are best suited to

your different activities.

Fig 25. SAT Page

To save a proﬁle, select an activity from the list (hiking/camping, etc), then

press the right arrow to save your current display conﬁguration under that

name.The checkmark indicates the current active proﬁle.One“custom”user

proﬁle may bet setup and selected in addition to the other ﬁve pre-named

proﬁles for common activities (Hiking/Camping, Hunting, Inland Boating,

Ocean Boating, Geocaching, Custom). You may also choose to “Reset to

default” instead of saving your current settings as one of the proﬁles-this

restores the original factory default screen conﬁguration (display options

for all pages).

• GPS-press the right button and select GPS satellite reception “ON” to for

normalGPSoperation,select“OFF”toconservebatterylifeifyouarenotgoing

to be navigating and only want to use the XM weather or entertainment

services, or while you are getting more familiar with your ONIX indoors

where GPS reception is not possible.Two other options are available:

WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System)- turning WAAS on will provide

slightly better GPS accuracy in the United States. As this can decrease

battery life,you may want to keep it turned off for most normal navigation

activities.

Fig 26. SET Page

Options List

Cold Start Receiver-press OK to re-activate GPS satellite reception (“cold

start”).This will force the ONIX to clear the satellite“almanac”information,

which is stored automatically during the ﬁrst power-on to speed up the

process of choosing the best GPS satellites for your usual starting area.

If this almanac data is no longer valid, it will cause longer startup times.

Enabling a cold start is recommended if you have re-located to a new

area that is over 300 miles away from your last power-on position. Note

that this will only take effect the next time the unit is powered on-there is

no advantage or reason to force a cold start if the unit has already locked

onto satellites in a reasonable amount of time, and are still within about a

300-mile radius of the location where you ﬁrst powered up the ONIX.

• Compass-options to select your preferred navigation display units (Degrees,

Cardinal Letter, or Mils) and North Reference (True or Magnetic).

new area-but will be faster when it is powered on again later in the same

area. (See “Reset Data” in the SET Page>GPS options, if you later relocate

more than 300 miles away from this initial area). Once it has locked into the

satellites (ideally, 4 or more), the satellite position icons will stop blinking

and turn green, you are ready to begin using the ONIX. The next step is

your choice-you may go to the NAV or SET page to select options or make

personal settings ﬁrst, or begin navigating by going directly to the MAP

page.

The simplest GPS function is to mark your present location. Any location

Fig 31. Waypoint

that you choose to mark is called a “waypoint”. To set a waypoint at your

current position, just press “OK” (center of the 5-way button). You will see

the Waypoint Menu (Fig. 31), with the default name assigned to the new

waypoint (WPT000, WPT001, etc) shown at the top, with these options

below it: Set Waypoint, Edit Name, Edit Icon, Edit Alert. Since“Set Waypoint”

is already highlighted, simply press OK again to accept “WPT###” as the

name and create a waypoint at your current position. See below for details

on how to edit a waypoint name and icon before setting it-this might make

it easier to ﬁnd later. Or, you can rename a previously set waypoint, change

its icon, or delete it entirely at any time in the future (Fig. 32). If you choose

not to set the waypoint, or you want to delete the waypoint, simply exit via

the left arrow (press LEFT on the 5-way pad).

Menu-Press OK to set

To edit the text, arrow up to the waypoint name, then click OK and use the

keypad screen you will see to create a name to replace it (see pg. 25 for

detailed instructions).You can also move down to select the icon,and again

press OK and choose from the available different icons (Fig.33).Move down

to the alarm icon in the popup window and press OK to turn on the alarm for

that waypoint.The last item in the popup allows you to delete the waypoint

(you will be asked if you are sure, to prevent accidental deletions).

Creating a Map Area (My Map Areas)

A special feature available on the MAP page lets the user deﬁne a polygonal

(triangle, square, etc) area of any size, placed anywhere, which can then

be used to simply measure that area (displayed as total square mileage

or footage), help deﬁne map and property boundaries, and/or generate

an alert message when the area is either entered or exited. This is done by

placing a minimum of three virtual“fence posts”on the map which are used

to deﬁne the limits of the area (Fig. 34, next page). The process for setting

up a custom Map Area is outlined on the next page. More information

about utilizing the“My Map Areas” features can be found at: http://www.

SafeTrack™ Battery Conservation Mode

SafeTrack is a Bushnell exclusive feature that extends and conserves

battery power, without the wait to re-establish GPS satellite contact after

a full power down.When you are in SafeTrack mode,the display screen will

shut off, and the status LED will blink green. Intermittent satellite contact

is maintained, so you will quickly be able to check your current location

or progress.To enter SafeTrack mode, press and hold the HOT button.You

will see the SafeTrack screen (Fig. 48), with a count down delay (time can

be adjusted in the Set Page Menu) before the unit enters SafeTrack mode.

If you accidently hold the HOT button down, select “Cancel” and press

OK. If you do not cancel, at the end of the countdown, the unit will be

in SafeTrack mode. The display will black out, and you will no longer be

able to receive streaming XM radio, sports updates, or other continuous

signals. The ONIX will automatically make GPS satellite contact every 5

minutes (default, can be changed in SafeTrack Options menu), which

extends battery life signiﬁcantly while still allowing you to instantly get

a ﬁx on your location and resume navigation when you exit SafeTrack

mode.

aPPendiX: how to Personalize your Xm channel monitor and scoreboard

When you are on the XM Radio Page, press the HOT button to view the XM

Radio HOT button menu (Fig. 31) that helps you build a list of your favorites

from among 170+ XM entertainment channels, and also keep up with the

scores of your favorite teams by setting up your personal “Scoreboard”. An

“XM Packages” box below the HOT button menu will conﬁrm which XM

services you have activated (see page 9 for XM contact info) by indicating

Active, Not Active or Unknown. Note that you must be currently receiving

an XM signal for this info to be valid-make sure XM reception is turned on

in the SET menu. Use the XM Radio HOT button menu in the usual way, by

highlighting a menu item with the up/down buttons and pressing OK. The
