Battery Installation
3
The GPS III Pilot operates on 4 AA batteries, which are installed at the base of
the unit. These batteries provide up to 24 hours of continuous use. Rechargeable
NiCad or lithium batteries may also be used.
NOTE: The on-screen battery level indicator is calibrated for alkaline batteries,
and will not be accurate when using NiCad or lithium batteries (see page 79).
To install the batteries:
1. Flip up the metal ring at the base of the unit, and turn the ring 90˚ counterclockwise.
2. Install the batteries and close the battery compartment door. When replacing the
GPS III Pilot’s batteries, observe the polarity markings engraved in the plastic
case.
3. Lock the door in the closed position by rotating the metal ring 90˚ clockwise.
Battery life varies due to a variety of factors, including temperature and
backlighting. You may find that the battery life varies in different conditions and
that lithium batteries provide longer life in colder conditions. An internal 10-
year lithium battery will retain your data while you’re changing batteries.
