Getting Started; Installing Batteries - Garmin GPS GPS 60 Owner's Manual

Installing the Batteries
The GPS operates on two "AA" batteries (not included). Alkaline or
NiMH batteries may be used (see p. 40 to set the battery type). Stored data
will not be lost when batteries are removed.
To install batteries:
1. Remove the battery cover by
lifting up on the D-ring, turning
it 1/4 turn counterclockwise, and
then pulling the cover away.
2. Insert the batteries, observing
the proper polarity. A polarity
diagram can be found molded
inside the battery compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery cover by
connecting the bottom of the
cover to the bottom of the unit.
Make sure the tab on the cover
fits into the slot on the unit.
Press the cover closed and turn
the D-ring clockwise to lock.

Getting Started

Installing Batteries

When replacing batteries, use only new or
fully charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline
and NiMH batteries. Rechargeable batteries
may typically display lower 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 may result in leaking and damage
to the battery compartment. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for proper care
and disposal of used batteries. Do not incin-
erate used batteries, as internal materials
may ignite with explosive violence.
Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, or
key beep tones can significantly reduce
battery life. For more information on saving
battery life, see p. 39.
