3
The temperature rating for the Rino may exceed the usable range of some batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture
at high temperatures. External power can only be applied using the GARMIN Auto Power Adapter or PC Interface
Cable with Auto Power Adapter. These cables contain a 12 Vdc to 3 Vdc voltage regulator. Modifi cations or other
applications voids the product warranty.
4
Alkaline batteries lose a signifi cant amount of their capacity as temperature decreases. Use lithium batteries when
operating the Rino in below-freezing conditions. Extensive use of screen backlighting and the radio signifi cantly
reduces battery life. Different brands of batteries vary in performance.
