Brunton atlas Guía De Operación

15

The Atlas operates from AA batteries or on 3 volts DC using an optional
external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. If the power cable is used,
the Atlas automatically switches to it if the external power is greater than the
battery voltage. If the external power fails, the unit automatically switches to the
batteries. An internal lithium battery keeps your stored data safe and accessible
for as long as 10 years.

The unit requires two, 1.5 volt AA batteries. We recommend that you use
alkaline batteries for the best trade-off between battery life and cost. You can
also use rechargeable AA alkaline batteries or rechargeable AA nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) batteries. Rechargeable alkaline batteries will not last as long
as standard alkaline batteries.

Do not mix different battery types. Mixing battery types may cause leakage.
(For example, don’t use both alkaline and NiMH batteries at the same time, and
don't use standard alkalines with rechargeable alkalines.)

Battery Installation
Turn the unit over so that the back is facing you. Place your thumb on the large
arrowhead on the battery compartment cover. Press in and down, toward the
bottom of the unit (in the direction indicated by the arrow.) The battery cover
will snap off.
