Battery Information

WARNING

The temperature rating for the device may exceed the usable

range of some batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture at high

temperatures.
Do not use a sharp object to remove batteries.

CAUTION

Contact your local waste disposal department to properly

recycle the batteries.

NOTICE

Alkaline batteries lose a significant amount of their capacity as

the temperature decreases. Therefore, use lithium batteries

when operating the device in below freezing conditions.

Installing the NiMH Battery Pack

The device operates using the optional NiMH battery pack (650

and 650t only) or two AA batteries (

Charging the Battery Pack

NOTICE

To prevent corrosion, thoroughly dry the mini-USB port, the

weather cap, and the surrounding area before charging or

connecting to a computer.
Do not attempt to use the device to charge a battery that was

not provided by Garmin®. Attempting to charge a battery that

was not provided by Garmin can damage the device and void

the warranty.

Before you can connect the straight connector of the USB cable

to your device, you may have to remove optional mount

accessories.
NOTE: The battery will not charge when outside the

temperature range of 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).

Installing AA Batteries

Instead of the optional NiMH battery pack (

two alkaline, NiMH, or lithium batteries. This is useful when you

are on the trail and cannot charge the NiMH battery pack. Use

NiMH or lithium batteries for best results.
NOTE: Standard alkaline batteries are not recommended for the

Oregon 650 models when using the camera feature.
