Installing Batteries
Your GPS 100 operates on two standard AA batteries (not included). Always
use high-quality alkaline batteries. To install batteries, twist the D-ring
connector counterclockwise (anticlockwise) and remove the battery
compartment cover. Insert two AA batteries ensuring correct polarity
alignment. Replace the battery compartment cover and twist the D-ring
clockwise to lock.
As an optional power source, an Automotive Power Adapter (not included,
see "Optional Accessories", page 47) can be used with your GPS 100.

satellite signals for navigation.
To turn the power off, press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds.

features of your unit, you can turn GPS navigation off. To do so, select "No"
and press the ENTER button before the screen automatically changes to the
Map page.
In Powersaver Mode, no GPS functions will be available until you turn GPS
