Overview Navigation Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Appendix E APPENDIX E: BATTERY AND CARE INFORMATION BATTERY INFORMATION The aera contains a user-replaceable, lithium-ion battery. To maximize the lifetime of the battery, do not leave the aera in direct sunlight, and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat. The battery icon in the top right of the screen indicates the status of the aera battery. To increase the accuracy of the battery gauge, fully discharge the battery and fully charge it. Do not unplug the aera until it is fully charged. MAXIMIZING THE BATTERY LIFE • Turn down the backlight (refer to the 'System Settings' chapter of this section). • Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight, in a cool (not freezing) place. When storing the unit, store within the following temperature ranges: safe storage -15° to 55° C, or long term storage 0° to 25° C. • Do not operate the unit outside of the following temperature range: -15° to 55° C. • Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat. REPLACING THE BATTERY IN THE AERA To replace the battery, use a Garmin lithium-ion battery 010-11654-03. Purchase a replacement battery at http://buy.garmin.com. Contact the local waste disposal department for information about properly disposing of the battery. CHANGING THE FUSE If the unit does not charge, the fuse may need to be replaced. 1) Unscrew the round end piece, and remove it. 2) Remove the fuse (glass and silver cylinder), and replace with a 3A fast-blow fuse. 3) Ensure that the silver tip is placed in the end piece. Screw on the end piece. Appendices Index 190-02017-20 Rev. A Garmin aera 660 Pilot's Guide 147
