Remove the battery cover from the back of the unit. Turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and pull out. 2. Insert the batteries, observing the proper polarity. A polarity diagram can be found molded into Locking the battery compartment. Pin Slot 3.

Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. Recharge- able 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, WAAS, the electronic compass and key beep tones will significantly reduce battery life. To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 56. To disable WAAS, see page 55. To turn the compass Off, see page 15. To mute the beep tones, see page 58. 1
