Operation Time
Using alkaline cells, typical operation time is from about 12 to
24 hours depending on sound volume and how often the
backlight is on. Other factors that affect the operation time
will include chemistry of the battery (many of the new high
performance batteries, such as the “Duracell® ULTRA” last
10%-20% longer than conventional alkaline cells under high
demand applications). Operation at lower temperatures will
also reduce battery life.
The NaviTrack® II display can also show random symbols when
the battery power is too low to drive the internal logic circuits
correctly. This is remedied by simply putting fresh batteries
into the unit.
To preserve battery life the NaviTrack® II will automatically shut
down after 1 hour of no key presses. Simply turn the unit on
to resume use.
Starting Up
After pressing the Power key on the keypad, the RIDGID®
logo displays, and the software version number will appear in
the lower left corner.

Low Battery Warning
When the battery gets low, a battery icon will appear in the
map area on the screen. This indicates that the batteries need
to be changed and that the unit will soon shut down.
Figure 6: Low-Battery Warning
Just before complete shut down there will be a non-
interruptible power down sequence.
NOTE: Voltage on rechargeable batteries may sometimes drop
so quickly that the unit will just shut down. The unit will turn
off and restart. Just replace the batteries and turn the unit
back on.
