Beach setting instructions not correct

[Digger 45]

In the manual and in Randys book it says to hold the ground balance button for three seconds to go in to the Beach mode, this is not correct you must first push the GB button and let off and then hold for three seconds. It will not work if you just push it for three seconds..

Was having trouble myself and was watching a video and learned how to set the beach mode.

......unlike the manual, which provides "step by step" instructions for operating the X-TERRA, the eBook was written for those hoping to get a deeper understanding of their X-TERRA. I figured by the time folks got to the segment on Beach GB, they would already understand it was not a ground balance mode, but additional functionality that can be applied to manual, automatic or tracking ground balance. As such, you'd have to be in the GB mode to add the functionality.

from the eBook......"For salt water beach hunting, the X-TERRA 70 and X-TERRA 705 incorporate functionality referred to as Ground Balance Beach. Manual, Auto, Tracking & Tracking offset Ground Balance options are all available in Ground Balance Beach.......................................To activate Ground Balance Beach, press and hold the GB pad for three seconds. When the functionality is implemented, a small beach umbrella icon will appear at the top right corner of your display."
