Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter (Optional Accessory art.no. 
22608) 

To use external DC power: Plug the power cable's cigarette lighter adapter into 
a cigarette lighter receptacle. Next, slide the other connector over the power 
contacts on the bottom of the Atlas case. 

 

 

Attach external power cable to Atlas. 

 

MMC or SDC Memory Card Installation 

Your Atlas uses a MultiMedia Card (MMC) to store information, such as 
waypoints and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD 
card or SDC) to store information. 

NOTE: 

Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just remember that 
your unit can use an MMC 

or

 SDC to store data. 

MMC cards with mapping data are available from Silva; see www.silva.se for 
more information. Blank MMC and SD cards are also available at many 
consumer electronics stores. 

The MMC slot is located in the battery compartment, behind the batteries on 
the right side of the unit. The battery compartment decal points out the slot, 
which is also marked by small white letters on the circuit board. 

To remove an MMC 

1. Remove battery compartment cover. 

2. Remove batteries, if present. 

3. Hold unit upright in one hand. Use a thumbnail or fingernail to grab the 
groove in the bottom of the MMC. 

4. Drag the MMC from the slot into the battery compartment. 

5. Hold Atlas face up and give it a shake to dump the MMC into your hand or 
onto a work surface. 

 
To add an MMC or SDC 

1. Remove battery compartment cover. 

2. Remove batteries, if present. 

3. Hold unit upside down in one hand. Grasp the bottom corner of the MMC 
with your other hand. The MMC label should be toward you.
