Notes on battery use:

•When replacing batteries, use only new or fully recharged batteries. Rechargeable batteries may typically display less capacity than Alkaline batteries.

•Do not mix different types of batteries together.

•Remove the batteries from the unit if you do not plan to use it for several months. Follow the battery manufacturer’s instruc- tions for proper care and disposal of used batteries.

•Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, and/or FRS or GMRS will signiﬁcantly reduce battery life.
