Optimizing Battery Life
Use premium batteries for optimal
performance and maximum
battery life. The best performance
is provided by lithium batteries,
precharged (ready-to-use) NiMH
batteries, and NiMH rechargeable
batteries less than one year old with
a capacity greater than 2500 mAh.
Consider the following suggestions
to maximize battery life:
• Do not adjust the backlight more
than is necessary (page 3). Using
a backlight level above 50% of
maximum level for a prolonged
period of time will signicantly
decrease battery life.
• Select a shorter backlight timeout
(page 22).
• Turn tones off if not needed
(page 22).
• Turn the electronic compass off if
not needed (page 28).
• If you plan on using the Dakota
extensively in your automobile,
consider purchasing a vehicle
power cable (http://buy.garmin
