Start Up
Important Note
When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged bat-
teries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. Rechargeable
batteries may typically display less capacity than disposable
batteries.
Remove the batteries from the unit if you don’t plan to use it
for several months. Storing batteries in the unit for prolonged
periods of time may result in leakage and damage to the
battery compartment.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care and
disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate used batteries, as
internal materials may ignite with explosive violence.
Extensive use of backlighting and/or WAAS as well as key
beep tones will significantly reduce battery life.
To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 46.
To disable WAAS, see page 45.
To mute the beep tones, see page 48.
Getting Started
Installing the Batteries
The GPSmap 60C operates on two “AA” batteries (not included),
which are located in the back of the unit. Alkaline or NiMH batteries
may be used (see page 43 for setting the battery type). Stored data is
not lost when the batteries are removed.
To install batteries:
1. Remove the battery cover from the
back of the unit. Turn the D-Ring 1/4
turn counter-clockwise while pulling
out .
2. Insert the batteries, observing the
proper polarity. A polarity diagram
can be found molded into
the battery compartment.
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.
Turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn clockwise
to lock in place.
