Battery Information
Your nüvi contains an internal (non-
removable) lithium-ion battery. The
battery should last up to 8 hours,
depending on usage.

battery icon in the corner of

internal battery. To increase the accuracy
of the battery gauge, fully discharge the
battery and then fully charge it; do not
unplug the nüvi until it is totally charged.
Contact your local waste disposal
department for information on properly
disposing of the unit.
Maximizing the Battery Life
Close the GPS antenna when you do
not need to navigate.
Turn off WAAS/EGNOS when you
do not need it.
Turn the backlight brightness down
(touch ).
Do not leave your nüvi in direct
sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure
to excessive heat.
