Battery Installation The GPSMAP 60CSx operates on two "AA" batteries (not includ- ed), which are located in the back of the unit. Alkaline or NiMH batteries may be used (see the Owner's Manual for setting the bat- tery type). Stored data is not lost when the batteries are removed. 1. To remove the battery cover from the back of the unit, turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn Locking Pin Slot counter-clockwise and then pull the cover away. 2. Insert the batteries, observing the proper polarity. A polarity diagram can be found molded into the battery compartment. USE BY: 2009 3. Reinstall the battery cover by inserting the bottom slot over the tab at the base of the unit and reinserting the locking pin in the back of the unit. 4. Turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn clockwise to lock the cover in place. The MicroSd Card used for storing detailed mapping data is located beneath the batteries. Refer to the Owner's Manual for detailed information. Battery Compartment D-Ring When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. Rechargeable batteries may have less capacity than disposable batteries. Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS and key beep tones will significantly reduce battery life. Battery Cover Start-Up and Satellite Acquisition Find a location where you have a clear view of the sky. If you're starting up for the first time or you have moved over 600 miles since last using the GPSMAP 60CSx, it must initialize (determine its location by searching for satellites that are in position over your current location.) Press the MENU key to use the Location option from the Satellite Page Options Menu to mark your approximate location on the Map Page so it looks for only those satellites above your location. 1. Turn On the GPSMAP 60CSx by pressing and releasing the POWER key. A Welcome Page will briefly appear before moving to the Satellite Page. 2. Observe the Satellite Page and the GPS status messages as they appear at the top of the page. • "Acquiring Satellites" message appears as the GPSmap 60CSx begins to search for satellites overhead. • Your "Location Coordinates" display when four or more satellites are fixed (enough to determine an approximate elevation as well as ground location). If the GPSMAP 60CSx can't get past the "Acquiring Satellites" message or you get a "Lost Satellite Signal" message, move to a new location away from objects that may be blocking signals.
