INSTALLING BATTERIES

The Forerunner 101 operates on two AAA alkaline batteries (not included), which are 

placed in the back of the unit.  Rechargeable alkaline, NiMH, NiCad, or lithium batteries may 
be used.  See page 30 for instructions on selecting battery type.

Stored data will not be lost while batteries are being changed.  However, if batteries are 

completely discharged and are not changed within a couple of days, it may take longer for the 
unit to get a GPS signal fix.

1. Remove the battery cover by inserting a coin in the bottom slot.  Twist the coin to lift the 

cover up and pull away.

2. Compare the battery polarity with the diagram in the battery compartment and install the 

batteries accordingly.

3. To re-install the battery cover, slide the top portion into the appropriate slot, then snap the 

bottom section securely to the base of the unit.

When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged bat-
teries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH  batteries. Rechargeable 
batteries may typically display less capacity than disposable 
batteries.
Remove the batteries from the unit if you don’t plan to use it 
for several months. Storing batteries in the unit for prolonged 
periods may result in leakage and damage to the battery 
compartment.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care and 
disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate used batteries, as 
internal materials may ignite with explosive violence. 
Extensive use of backlighting and key beep tones will signifi-
cantly reduce battery life.
