Battery Installation

WARNING: It is very important to install ALL batteries with
the proper polarity, positive (+) or negative (-) orientation, as
indicated in the battery compartment of the unit. Batteries can
leak and cause personal injury and property damage if not
installed correctly.
NOTE: The GPSMAP 196 saves routes, user-created
waypoints and your other settings in non-volatile memory and
will not lose data when the batteries are changed or if stored
without batteries.
