Thank you for purchasing the Bushnell ONIX Series! The 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 reference

. And for the rst time in a handheld GPS device, the ONIX400 lets you view XM

NEXRAD

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 screen

! 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 proles that let you store your most frequently used personal setups, including

satellite photos of your favorite camping or hunting area. 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 nd 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 six basic screens (MAP, NAV, XM Weather,

XM Radio, SAT, 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 rst 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 nish 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 signicant length or attempting to navigate an unfamiliar area.

• The internal Lithium Ion battery pack must be charged before the ONIX can be used for the rst time. Make sure

the MicroSD card is inserted in the card slot rst, then attach the battery pack by lining it up with the opening on the

bottom of the unit, pushing it straight onto the unit until ush with the surface, then sliding the battery down towards

the end with the USB and accessory ports, until it locks securely into place (to remove the battery, press the soft

release area (see yellow arrow below) at the curved end of the battery, then slide it up and lift directly away from the

ONIX body). Connect the supplied AC charging cord to the accessory connector port at the bottom of the unit, then

into a wall outlet. When the Status LED changes from red to green, the battery is fully charged.

• 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 ber 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.

1. MAP-you will likely spend the most time on the MAP page, since it shows your current location

relative to other objects and places. You can layer aerial photos, weather information, a compass and

other navigation related items alone or in combinations over the top of the base map, making it even more

useful and informative.

2. NAV (Navigation)- a basic display of the digital compass. View your current heading and true or

magnetic north at any time by switching to this page.

3. XM Weather-use this page to choose the day/time and location for weather forecast data (see included

“How to Activate XM Service”). Note: XM reception must be set to “ON” in the SET Page.

4. XM Radio-select from over 170 channels of music, news, sports and entertainment (XM reception

must be activated) . Listen to your favorites while you navigate, or just listen at the end of the day when

you reach your campsite,boat, or home. Note: XM reception must be set to “ON” in the SET Page.

5. SAT (Satellite)-this page allows you to monitor the signal strength of multiple GPS satellites, conrming

when you have a “lock”-adequate number and quality of satellites to ensure good reception.

6. SET (Setup)-go here to set your personal user preferences, enable XM satellite reception, setup a

custom user prole, and other user adjustable operating utilities.

THE SIX PAGES OF THE ONIX400

Press the MENU button briey, use the 5-way buttons to select (highlight) a page

4. XM Radio Page

Main MENU

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

that the MicroSD card is installed in its slot), referring to the instructions and photos on pg. 4. Plug the

AC charger cord into the accessory port (pg. 5), then into an AC outlet (110-120 volt/60 cycle).

2. The intial 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 briey. You will see the Main Menu screen, with six “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 rst time you use your GPS in a new geographical area, but will be

much faster on future useage 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 nd 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 capabilties 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!

GETTING STARTED

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

rst 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).

Cursors

Press MENU, then use the 5-way button to select (highlight) a page, then

press “OK” (center button) to view that page. The current page you are

on is always indicated in the box at the top of the display, just below the

“Bushnell” logo. The MAP page is the most commonly used, and has

the greatest number of display options that can be layered over the basic

map elements.

1. The MAP Page

You will primarily refer to the MAP page while navigating with the

ONIX400. Using Bushnell’s exclusive screen layering, this page can

display multiple location and navigation related information in a single

view. The following items are always displayed on this page:

• Base Map (Fig. 1)-primary streets and location, similar to a basic road

map.

• Cursor-shows your location and direction. The cursor can assume one

of three shapes (Fig. 2):

•Zoom Display Level-on lower left next to the Info Boxes. Shows scale

or actual distance represented by height of current display (e.g. “10.2km”

span from top to bottom of screen). Use the “+” and “-” buttons to change

the zoom level.

MAP Page Layering Options

You may choose to add other items to your view of the MAP page. To

select these items, hold down the MENU button for 2 seconds, then

press the UP button-you will see a map page layer options screen (Fig.

3). Use the 5-way button to move up and down the options, press the

center button to select (check) or deselect (uncheck) the items you wish

to include in your view.

The MAP page layer options list:

•Weather-display a variety of weather info, including weather radar.

Press the Right button to see a list of these weather info options, use the

Up/Down buttons to select, then “checkmark” any items you wish to

view layered on the map screen by pressing the OK button.

-a crosshairs cursor that allows you to pan the map, check the

position of waypoints or POI when moved over them, use as a

distance measuring tool, or create routes.

-a bearing arrow that shows your navigation direction when you are

moving (or heading when you are not actively navigating)

-a circle-“you are here locator” to display your current location

relative to the map

Fig 3. MAP Page

Layer Options

Note: Your XM Weather subscription must be activated, and XM reception

turned on, before it is possible to display any weather information.

These are the Weather Info options (Fig. 4):

a) Sweep (view animation of past weather events)

b) Precipitation

c) Clouds

d) Detailed Radar (current NEXRAD weather radar data)

e) Rain/Snow Advisory

f) Wind Advisory

g) Road Conditions

h) Visibility

i) County Warnings (within borders of your current county)

j) All Warnings (and advisories. Not limited to current area)

k) Lightning

Note: not all weather data can be displayed simultaneously

•Compass-indicates your current direction.

•Range Rings (Fig. 5)-visual tool that represents distance on your map or

photo within a circle. The distance shown is the radius of the circle. This

radius is half the zoom level. Use Up/Down on the 5-way pad to adjust the

radius of the rings, then press OK to exit.

• Photos (Aerial/Satellite) (Fig. 6)-superimposed over Base Map if desired.

You do not need to manually select the right photo (or topo map) to use,

as these downloaded les are “geo referenced”, enabling your ONIX to

choose the correct photo automatically, based on your current location and

zoom level. Note that while both types of images can be stored at the

same time on your ONIX, only one of them (photo or topo map) can be

displayed over the base map at a time.

•Topo-the topographic map you choose from les you download and store

in the ONIX will be layered over the base map

•North UP-when checked, the top of the screen is oriented due north. If

unchecked, the top of the screen is oriented to your current direction of

travel (i.e.“track up”-like automotive GPS units). Satellite photos and topo

maps are displayed “North Up” by default.

• Map Data-turns on/off display of roads and places on the base map

•Bread Crumbs-a dotted line on the display showing the simple path

you’ve traveled. Breadcrumbs are automatically stored, but only displayed

if this option is selected.

•Points of Interest-major or common facilities from a pre-programmed

list (airports, hospitals, etc)

• (not on the options list) Info Boxes-the wide rectangular Info Boxes at

the bottom of the Page displays (along with two small Nav data boxes at

1. Go to the MAP Page if you are not already there (this example will

use the MAP Page as a starting point, but Info Boxes are available on

other Pages as well).

2. Hold the MENU button for 2 sec. You will see 4 “tabs” pop up above

the lower set of Info Boxes: Nav, Weather, Sports, XM. Select the “Nav”

tab by using LEFT/RIGHT (on 5-way pad) to highlight it (see Fig. 8a

above) if necessary.

3. Press DOWN to select (highlight) the rst Info Box in the lower set.

4. Press OK to see a list of the different types of information available

to display in the Info Box. Press RIGHT to see a second list of info to

choose from (then LEFT to return to the rst list).

5. Use UP/DOWN buttons to highlight one (for example, Local “Time”

from the 2nd list) (Fig. 8), then press OK to checkmark it. The rst Info

Box will change to display the local time-your selection has replaced the

previous type of info.

6. Press DOWN to select the second Info Box and repeat steps 4 & 5

to change what is displayed in this box. Repeat the process again if you

like for the third box. Note that if you choose “Location” (your latitude/

longitude) for one of your info boxes, it will automatically ll 2 Info

Boxes (latitude is the top box).

You may have noticed that there is an option at the top of the rst

list of information types labeled “No Information”. You may select this

option for any of the Info Boxes if you prefer not to use one or more of

them-as selecting “No Information” will actually clear and remove that

Info Box “slot” from the lower set of boxes. You can reduce the “stack”

of three boxes you start with to just two, one or even zero. You can also

press DOWN to step below the third box, where you will nd that a

fourth box is “hidden” because “No Information” is selected for display

there. Simply select something else, and you can have up to a maximum

of 4 Info Boxes in the lower part of your Map screen (Fig. 9).

8. Once you have set up the lower Info Boxes with a few different types

of Nav data, press EXIT to leave the Info Box setup process and return to

normal display. The info you chose will still be displayed in the boxes.
