SECTION 2 Quick-Start Battery/Map Data Card Installation The StreetPilot operates on six (6) AA batteries, which are installed from the left end of the unit, as viewed from the front. Alkaline, rechargeable NiCad, or Lithium batteries may be used. For extended operation, use the cigarette lighter adapter to conserve batteries. The on-screen battery level indicator may be calibrated for Alkaline or NiCad batteries, but will not be totally accurate when using lithium batteries. To install batteries and a map data card: 1. Lift up the metal D-ring at the end of the unit rotating ¼ turn anti-clockwise to open the compartment door. 2. Install the batteries (picture at right). It is very important to install ALL batteries with the proper polarity, positive (+) and negative (-) orientation, as indicated by the markings molded into the rubber base of the unit and inside the battery compartment door. Do not mix new batteries with used batteries. Do not mix Alkaline with Lithium or NiCad rechargeable batteries. 3. If you are using an optional Map Data Card with detailed map data or if you plan to transfer map data from a MapSource® CD-ROM, plug a blank card into the slot next to the battery compartment, with the label facing toward the front of the StreetPilot (picture at right). 4. Close the battery compartment door and lock in place by turning the D-ring ¼ turn clockwise, then return the ring to the flush position. Battery life may vary due to a variety of factors, including ambient temperature and use of backlighting. You may find that Lithium batteries provide longer life in colder conditions. Data is retained in memory by an internal Lithium battery when the AA batteries are removed. Map Data Cards may be purchased from your GARMIN dealer or directly from GARMIN. Up to 50 maps may be downloaded to a blank card using a GARMIN MapSource CD-ROM and following instructions provided with the MapSource CD-ROM. Refer to Appendix A for Card and MapSource ordering information. Battery/Map Card Installation Compartment Door Map Data Card AA Batteries Warning Improper battery installation may cause personal injury or property damage and/or battery leakage. Caution Make certain the connector end of the Data Card is inserted into the cartridge slot, NOT the extractor handle end. Improper installation can result in internal damage to your StreetPilot Unit. When properly inserted, the cartridge will protrude slightly from the slot (not flush). 1
