HC. These units use the proven
performance of Garmin high-sensitivity GPS and full-
featured mapping to create an unsurpassed portable
GPS receiver. The eTrex models operate identically
with a few exceptions. If a feature is discussed in this
manual that is not universal for all HC series units,
a notation is made. Take a moment to compare the
contents of this package with the packing list on the
box. If any pieces are missing, contact your Garmin
dealer immediately.

To extend battery life, turn off the GPS when
not using the eTrex for navigation. Decrease
the level of the display’s backlight by quickly
pressing and releasing the POWER key.
