BATTERIES
When using the AirMap with batteries, the back-
lights automatically turn off after 30 seconds. (Re-
member, you can change the time interval.) Press-
ing the PWR key turns the lights on again.
If the batteries become weak, the message shown
at right appears on the display. When the battery
voltage drops below a certain level, the unit auto-
matically turns itself off. The unit can shut off anytime after displaying the
“Low Battery” message without further notice.
When switching from external power to the batteries, a tone sounds which
alerts you to the fact that you’re now on battery power.
Store your unit with the battery pack attached. Do not remove the batter-
ies. This will increase the internal memory’s battery life.
