Installing the Batteries
The Rino operates on three “AA” batteries (not
included), which are located in the back of the unit.
Rechargeable Alkaline, NiMH, NiCad or Lithium batteries
(see Reference Manual for setting battery type) may also be
used. Stored data will not be lost when
the batteries are removed.
To install batteries:
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit.
Turn the D-ring 1/4 turn counter-clockwise & pull
away clockwise.
2. Insert batteries observing the polarity. A polarity
reference can be found moulded in the unit housing.
The negative (-) battery terminal always orients clos-
est to the spring.
3. Reinstall the battery cover by inserting the bottom
hinge clip and closing the cover. Turn the D-ring 1/4
turn clockwise.
Important Note:
When replacing batteries, use only
new or fully recharged batteries
and do not mix Alkaline, NiMH,
NiCad or Lithium batteries.
Rechargeable batteries may
typically display less capacity
than Alkaline batteries.
Remove the batteries from the
unit if you don’t plan to use it
for several months.
Follow the battery manufactur-
er’s instructions for proper care
and disposal of used batteries.
Extensive use of backlighting
and/or WAAS will signifi cantly
reduce battery life.
