Garmin gpsmap 60c Manuale Utente

When replacing batteries, use only new or fully 

charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH  bat-
teries. 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/or WAAS  as well as 

key beep tones will signifi cantly reduce battery life.

To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 44.

To disable WAAS, see page 43. 

To mute the beep tones, see page 46.

The GPSmap operates on two “AA” batteries (not included), which are 
located in the back of the unit.  Alkaline or NiMH  batteries (see page 
43 for setting the battery type) may be used. Stored data will not be 
lost when batteries are removed.

1. Remove the battery cover from the  

 

 

back of the unit. Turn the D-Ring 1/4  

 

 

turn counter-clockwise and then pull.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the  

 

 

proper polarity. A polarity diagram  

 

 

can be found moulded into  

 

 

 

the battery compartment. 

3. Reinstall the battery cover by inserting 

 

 

the bottom slot over the tab at the  

 

 

base of the unit and reinserting the  

 

 

locking pin in the back of the unit.  

 

 

Turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn clockwise
