Looking for more detailed User Manual (or Reference Manual) for FR 235

Got a FR-235 as a late Christmas gift. Really like it so far.

My only gripe at this point is that so many details aren't even discussed in the Users Manual. Icons on many screens aren't even mentioned.

I'm sure i'll figure figure everything out eventually, but it would be great to be able to just look things up in the documentation.

An example: Page 2 of the Users Manual shows a screen shot for Auto Goal. I'm guessing that the icon in the lower left is supposed to mean 2.7 miles (or km), but is that the equivalent of my steps goal for the day? Guess i'll have to watch it to see if it changes. And the icon in the lower right? Is that a tiny flame with the '1278'? Or is it a tiny cat that got hit driving down that tiny road? Maybe it means calories.

Sure would be nice to just look this stuff up, but the provided Users Manual is really more like a Quick Start Guide. Anyone know where Garmin has something with more detail?

Thanks in advance,
Eric

    Yes, a more detailed manual is needed. To answer your questions above, 2.7 is the distance traveled in steps (miles or km's depending on your settings) and the flame represents total calories "burned" at that time. There's a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum, so if you can't find it in the manual and you have any questions, you'll most likely get a quick answer here.

    Aren't most of this stuff pretty intuitive though? As if anyone thinks that the "calories" icon is a cat that got hit driving down a tiny road! :confused::confused:
