Understanding the rechargeable battery

Your portable GPS comes with a built-in rechargeable

battery. Charge the battery fully before initial use.

Charging time is normally about four hours. A fully

charged battery delivers about two hours of use.

Warning

Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly

replaced. Replace only with the same or

equivalent type.

Cautions

You must use one of the adapters provided

with your GPS to charge the battery.

Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat,

such as direct sunlight or fire.

The rechargeable battery should only be used

and charged when temperatures are between

32°-100°F.

Maintain well-ventilated conditions around

your GPS to avoid overheating. Don’t put the

GPS on a bed, sofa, or anything that may

block ventilation.

When the battery is weak, an indication

appears on the LCD screen. The GPS

automatically powers off shortly thereafter.
