Battery Level Indicator

The satellite status page also features a battery level indicator, located to the left of the

sky view, which displays the strength of the unit’s batteries (Fig. 24).

The battery level indicator is calibrated for alkaline batteries. Ni-Cad and lithium
batteries will inaccurately display the battery level at one-half its proper level
due to voltage differences. No other receiver functions are affected by using Ni-
Cad or lithium batteries.

The GPS II features an internal lithium battery that will maintain the unit’s memory

for up to 10 years, regardless of whether the four AA batteries are installed.
