Specifications subject to change without notice.
1
Subject to accuracy degradation to 100m 2DRMS under the U.S. DoD-imposed Selective Availability program.
2
With optional Garmin Differential Beacon Receiver Input (such as Garmin GBR 21 or 23).
3
The temperature rating for the Geko 301 may exceed the usable range of some batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture at high temperatures. External power can only be
applied using the Garmin Auto Power Adapter or PC Interface Cable with Auto Power Adapter. These cables contain a 12 Vdc to 3 Vdc voltage regulator. Modifications or
other applications void the product warranty.
4
Alkaline batteries lose a significant amount of their capacity as temperature decreases. Use Lithium batteries when operating the Geko 301 in below-freezing conditions.
Extensive use of screen backlighting significantly reduces battery life. Different brands of batteries vary in performance.
