Addendum I
Additional Instructions for
iFINDERPhD and iFINDERHunt
Since the manual was written for your iFINDER, several small changes
to its operation have occurred. These changes allow you to record and
play back audio notes associated with waypoints. In the following
pages, we'll describe how to use these new functions.
Audio Notes
You can use your iFINDER to record audio notes to provide further in-
formation whenever you save a waypoint. You can use this feature to
add a more detailed description to the map information (for instance,
"It's the third house on the right") or to record a reminder of the way-
point's significance.
The Audio Note options can be found on the
Waypoint Information screen.
To record these notes, the iFINDER uses a microphone built into the
case just beneath the ZOUT and ZIN keys.
NOTE:
Audio notes are recorded directly to the MMC card in your unit, so
removing or changing MMC cards will also remove the audio note,
although the sound file remains on the MMC card. You can use
your computer to transfer the sound file to another MMC card for
use in the unit. Just make sure to place the file in the Voice Notes
folder on the card.

All of the Audio Note options can be accessed from the Waypoint Infor-
mation screen. The options are Record Audio Note, Play Audio Note,
and Delete Audio Note.
Record Audio Note
When you view the Waypoint Information screen for a waypoint that has
no audio note, using the ←or →keys will show the option RECORD AUDIO
NOTE. Press ENT and a dialog gives you the option of naming the audio
note. With the name bar highlighted, press ENT again to change the
name, or select START RECORDING and press ENT to record your audio note.
NOTE:
The default filename for the note is taken from the waypoint name.
If you have audio notes associated with more than one waypoint
with the same name, you need to manually edit the default file-
name. Otherwise the previous note will be replaced.
You iFINDER will begin recording for up to 30 seconds. If your note is
less than 30 seconds in length, press ENT again to stop recording.
When you view the Waypoint Information screen for a waypoint that
already has an audio note, the Record Audio Note option will be re-
placed with the Play Audio Note and Delete Audio Note options.
Play Audio Note
You can play a recorded audio note through the iFINDER's head-
phones. From the Waypoint Information screen, use the ←or →keys to
select PLAY AUDIO NOTE and press ENT. A Name field indicates the name
you have entered for the note. With PLAY AUDIO NOTE selected, press ENT
again and the note will begin playing off your MMC card.
Delete Audio Note
To remove or replace a waypoint's audio note, use the Delete Audio
Note option. From the Waypoint Information screen, use the ←or →
keys to select DELETE AUDIO NOTE and press ENT.
You can now record a new note for this waypoint, or press EXIT to clear
the Waypoint Information screen.
This addendum supplements manual part numbers 988-0148-641 and 988-0148-481.
