Battery Installation and
Start Up
Important Note
When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged batteries.
Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. 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 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 significantly reduce battery life.
To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 46.
To disable WAAS, see page 45.
To mute the beep tones, see page 48.
Getting Started
Installing the Batteries
