Backlight Adjustment MicroSD and Battery Installation A MicroSD Card is required to load optional MapSource data. The MicroSD card is located in the battery compartment. To install the card, slide the card in until you hear a click. Press down and slowly release to remove the card. MICRO SD CARD The GPSMAP 76CSx requires two AA batteries (not included), which are located in the back of the unit under the D-Ring. Alkaline or NiMH batteries can be used (see the Owner's Manual for setting the battery type). Stored data is not lost when batteries are removed. Install the batteries, observing the proper polarity. A polarity diagram can be found molded into the battery compartment. Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, and key beep tones can significantly reduce battery life. Start-Up and Satellite Acquisition Find a location where you have a clear view of the sky. If you are starting up for the first time or you have moved over 600 miles since last using the GPSMAP 76CSx, it must initialize (determine its location by searching for satellites that are in position over your current location). Press MENU to open the Satellite Page Options Menu and mark your approximate location on the Map Page, so it looks for only those satellites above your location. 1. Turn on the GPSMAP 76CSx by pressing and releasing the POWER key. A Welcome Page briefly appears before opening the Satellite Page. 2. On the Satellite Page, GPS messages appear at the top of the page. • "Acquiring Satellites" message appears as the GPSMAP 76CSx begins to search for satellites overhead. • Your Location Coordinates appear when four or more satellites are fixed (enough to determine an approximate elevation as well as ground location).
