Power

Press and hold the Power button to turn the Atlas on or off. You’ll hear a power-on sound and the LEDs progress as the Atlas 2 wakes up. To turn the Atlas off, press and hold the power button until you hear a shutdown sound and see the display go blank. While on, a short tap on the power button brings up the about device screen, tapping it again to return to the previous screen.

Speaking of power; to charge the Atlas 2 simply connect the included charging cable to a USB charger. Then attach the included charging pad to the other end. Placing the Atlas 2 on the pad automatically starts the charging process; you’ll see a battery icon and a percent of charge displayed. If you don’t see anything on the screen that's OK, it simply means that your Atlas 2 is 100% charged! It is recommended to charge your Atlas to full capacity at least once every 3 months.

Display & Buttons

The info bar displays device information like Battery Level and Current Time. If the time is not showing, it simply means that the GPS/GNSS module has not yet found enough satellites. Usually taking just seconds, that process might take a few minutes if the device doesn’t have a clear view of the sky, for example, while indoors. The clock also might show 24 hour GMT based-time; don’t worry we can change that in settings later.

Buttons 1 - 4 are contextual and can change function based on what screen is being displayed. The button bar displays the current functions of each of the 4 buttons. The default and most common functions are: LINE, ANGLE, RESET, and START. LINE is used to set the starting marks (see Line Menu, below). ANGLE is used to set and view reference angles for tracking shifts, RESET and START control the start timer. There is often a BACK button to allow you to return directly to the previous screen.

The Home button is very important; it allows you to return to the home screen from any menu and is used to cycle through your configured layouts.
