FAQ: Are there special key combinations I can use?

Yes, there are. If you press the following combinations while turning the power on, you get access to special screens/functions:

Holding Enter , then powering up the Quest with Power on / Light will show the diagnostic screen (shown here on the left). Pressing  will cycle through more screens, some of which are shown below.
 On this screen you can play all audio phrases, which can ofcourse only be heard when connected to the 12v speaker cradle.
 Various screens show moving lines, all white/black/color pages, to test for hot pixels, etcetera
  A screen showing all possible colors.

Another shortcut is to press twice to get the backlight on, where once only displays the backlight/contrast menu. And Menu + Power on / Light shuts off Quest if it locks up. Both are in the manual though. =8-)

Another special key combination is the master reset, which should only be used after consulting Garmin Support: Enter +   + Power on / Light. This will reset the Quest completely and it will think it is in Taiwan, knowing no satellites at all. So getting a fix will take quite a bit longer than normal and all settings are gone!
