†The termperature rating for the GPS 12 MAP may exceed the usable range of some batter-
ies. Alkaline batteries can rupture at high temperatures.
‡Alkaline batteries lose a significant amount of their capacity as temperature decreases. If
you’re using the GPS 12 MAP in below freezing temperatures, use lithium batteries for
longer battery life. Extensive use of screen backlighting will significantly reduce battery life.
The GPS 12 MAP is constructed of high-quality
materials and should not require user maintenance. If
your unit ever needs repair, please take it to an autho-
rized GARMIN service center. Never attempt any
repairs yourself. To protect your GPS 12 MAP, keep it in
a covered container or case when not in use, and never
allow gasoline or other solvents to come into contact
with the case. Clean the case and lens with a soft cloth
and a household window cleaner.
