eTrex Legend C
Installing the Batteries
The eTrex Legend C 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 46 for setting the battery type). Stored data is
not lost when batteries are removed.
Battery Installation and
Start Up
Important Note
When replacing batteries, use only new or fully
charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH bat-
teries. Rechargeable 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 of time 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 and/or WAAS as well as
key beep tones will signifi cantly reduce battery life.
To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 46.
To disable WAAS, see page 46.
To mute the beep tones, see page 47.
