4.2 Installation of batteries
4.2.a
Types of useable batteries
The GPS works with two AA batteries, which should be installed in the battery well. The receiver operates using:
•
Alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable)
•
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (Nickel-metal hydrate). For further details about their use and recharge, please
refer to par.4.3.
2
Although alkaline batteries allow higher autonomy than the rechargeable ones, we suggest using the rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries if you are using your MAP 600 frequently as this will reduce operating costs. To extend the life of the batteries, try
rotating through multiple sets of batteries.
4.2.b
Installation procedure
To install the batteries please refer to the diagrams below:
a) Move the lever of the battery well cover to the centre and pull it out (diagram 1).
b) Remove the battery well cover.
c) Install 2 fully charged AA batteries, paying attention to the polarities, as shown on the bottom of the battery well
(diagram 2).
d) Point the top part of the battery well cover (the part opposite to the lever) towards the correct position of the battery
well (diagram 3).
e) Press the lower part (the part with the lever) of the cover against the body of the receiver. You will hear it clicking
when firmly in place.
!
Remove the batteries from the receiver when not in use for long periods of time. This precaution eliminates the likelihood
of battery leakage and corrosion of the receiver. Moreover some circuits are always powered on, even if the receiver is
turned off. This consumption is very low, but over time may drain the batteries.
!
Do not combine old batteries with new ones and/or different types and/or for different uses. Each set of batteries used
must be always composed of the same 2 elements, and cannot be used separately or with other devices.
!
Never throw batteries into a fire or bring them close to a source of heat: this may cause explosions and personal injury.
Dispose your batteries according to local regulations.
