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.
