Installing the Batteries
The Geko 101 operates on two AAA batteries (not included), which are installed at the
back of the unit. To install the batteries, remove the battery cover by inserting a coin in the
bottom slot. Twist the coin to lift the cover up and pull away. Insert the batteries, observing
proper polarity. Attach the battery cover by inserting the square end into the back slot at
an angle, laying it fl at, and then pushing it forward until the clip catches. Alkaline batteries
should last as long as 12 hours. Rechargeable Alkaline, NiMH, NiCad or Lithium batteries
may be used, but cannot be charged in the unit.
NOTE: If your Geko 101 is stored for an extended period of time or if the
batteries are completely discharged you may lose all data stored (such as
waypoints). Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions on the proper
care and handling of the batteries. )
