Installing the Batteries
The GPSmap operates on two “AA” batteries (not included), which are
located in the back of the unit. Alkaline or NiMH batteries may be
used (see page 55 for setting the battery type). Stored data is not lost
when batteries are removed.
To install batteries:
1. Remove the battery cover from the
back of the unit. Turn the D-Ring 1/4
turn counter-clockwise and pull out.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the
proper polarity. A polarity diagram
can be found molded into
the battery compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery cover by inserting
the bottom slot over the tab at the
base of the unit and reinserting the
locking pin in the back of the unit.
Turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn clockwise
to lock in place.

Important Note
When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged bat-
teries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. Recharge-
able batteries may typically display less capacity than
disposable batteries.
Remove the batteries from the unit if you don’t plan to
use it for several months. Storing batteries in the unit for
prolonged periods may result in leakage and damage to the
battery compartment.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care and
disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate used batteries,
as internal materials may ignite with explosive violence.
Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, the electronic com-
pass and key beep tones will significantly reduce battery life.
To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 56.
To disable WAAS, see page 55.
To turn the compass Off, see page 15.
To mute the beep tones, see page 58.
