Specifi cations subject to change without notice.
1. The temperature rating for the GPS V may exceed the usable range of some batteries. Alkaline batteries
can rupture at high temperatures.
2. With optional GARMIN GBR 21/23 Beacon Receiver Input.
3. Subject to accuracy degradation to 100m 2DRMS under the U.S. DOD-imposed Selective Availability
(SA) Program.
4. Alkaline batteries lose a signifi cant amount of their capacity as temperature decreases. Use Lithium
batteries when operating the GPS V in below-freezing conditions. Extensive use of bright screen
backlighting will signifi cantly reduce battery life. Low to moderate screen backlighting can signifi cantly
prolong battery life.
