Ah yes, the annoying beep for 'Only eight hours left!'
and this beeps every 256 seconds, or some such number.
This is the default setting for each time the recorder
is powered up.
To defeat the beeper, you can 'mash the buttons' and
kill that sucker. Let's see if I can do this from
memory (hah! I suffer from 'CRS')
Press (or mash, depends if you are an American living
above or below the Mason-Dixon Line) the top button
however many times it takes so the bottom line gives
you 'NAV INFO CFG1 CFG2' or something like that. You
need to select CFG1, I think. Then, select WRN (warnings),
Then select SND (sounds). Or maybe those two are backwards
(Lot of help, ain't I?) I believe at either SND or
WRN, you will find the selection for turning off the
annoying beeper.
It's there, you just have to find the proper key strokes.
Later, when I have a chance to sit down and play with
my Volkslogger, I could give you the exact steps.

It
beeps and puts a message on that interrupts the display

want to see. A few weeks ago it beeped about memory
just as
I hit a turn, and I missed the turn beeps. I've tried
turning off warnings, but I can't seem to get this

fixed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
