Appendix 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 significantly 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 .com). Restoring Factory Default Settings You can restore your Dakota to the original factory settings. Changes you have made using Setup are restored to the default settings. To restore factory settings, touch Setup > Reset > Restore Defaults to Factory Settings > Yes. 36 Dakota Series Owner's Manual
