Battery Installation
The GPS II operates on 4 AA batteries, which are installed at the base of the
unit. Normal battery life is approximately 15 hours, and up to 20 hours when the
unit is in battery saver mode.
To install the batteries:
1. Flip up the metal ring at the base of the unit, and turn the ring 90 degrees counter
clockwise.
2. Install the batteries (Fig. 5), and close the battery compartment door.
3. Lock the door in the closed position by rotating the metal ring 90 degrees
clockwise.
Battery life varies due to a variety of factors, including temperature,
backlighting, and whether the unit is in battery saver mode. You may find
that you get more or less battery life in different conditions.
When replacing the GPS II’s batteries, observe the polarity
markings engraved in the plastic case.
