Turning The Display On/Off

The display will turn on and off with the vehicle key switch. There is no on/off switch on the GS2 1800 because it must remain powered in order to display vehicle or implement system alarm messages whenever required. The display can be put into dim mode for transport by selecting the Home button for 4 seconds. Selecting any button will bring the display out of transport mode.

The display saves some types of settings and data automatically and the rest are saved during PROPER SHUTDOWN and also during data transfer to a USB drive. Proper shutdown is accomplished by turning off the vehicle key switch. The Status LED remains orange until the display is shutdown.

Unplugging the harness before the LED light is black may result in loss of data and settings.

• Warm boot - occurs when the display has been operated in the last 21 days and has NOT lost unswitched power anytime during the last 6 hours. Warm boot is indicated by a yellow progress bar with a green outline.
• Cold boot - may take longer for the display to power up (around 30 seconds). Cold boot is indicated by a green progress bar with a yellow outline.
