Battery cover
To open the battery cover, lift the silver fastener, turn it 90° counterclockwise and pull it up
so that the cover of the battery compartment is removed. Insert the batteries as indicated in
the battery compartment.
Place the battery cover back on and close it by turning the silver fastener clockwise. Make
sure that the housing cover fits correctly and locks flush in place.
Batteries
The device works with AA alkaline (included), lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries. Please
note that batteries cannot be recharged while in the device.
Note: To maximize battery life, select the correct battery type under "Settings >
System/General > Battery type".
Additional tips for maximizing battery life
Reduce the brightness of the display. (Display dims automatically when batteries are
low.)
Reduce the volume. (Volume decreases automatically when batteries are low.)
Set navigation to beep output in "Settings > Navigation Settings > Set guidance
preference."
Set to "screen off" while in use. (See page 5.)
Keep the device out of the cold. Batteries are very sensitive to temperature. In cold
conditions, the run time of the batteries is greatly curtailed. Optimum results are
achieved at around 70°F.
When using rechargeable batteries, follow the manufacturer‘s instructions for
maximum run time.
