3.3 Power supply
The power supply is normally taken from the rechargeable battery pack
provided. It is also possible to use the AC adapter / charger supplied with
the device as a power source.
3.3.1 Operation from battery pack
A fully charged battery pack is sufficient for about 3 hours of operation (with
GPS and display backlight). This operating time can be increased
significantly by using the energy saving options (Power Save) such as
automatic backlight switch off (Backlight switches off after). The battery
pack is supplied in a pre-charged state and must be fully charged before
being used for the first time.
NOTE:
Only use type 3001/90.15 battery packs or the earlier type 3001/90.01. If
you are using the different types of battery pack, the device setting in the
main menu under Settings (see
Changing the language, battery type, date,
and time
on page 67) must be adjusted so that the device shows the
remaining capacity correctly. The part number (P/N) of the battery type in
use is printed at the lower end of the battery label. If the capacity of these
battery packs is insufficient for your needs, additional battery packs can be
obtained as accessories.
