Note :
Until enough satellites are locked, the
is not
ready to use. For all modes requiring the GPS data, the screen will display ”---”
until it is ready. If the number of satellites is low, the display will blink.
Note :
Disposable alkaline batteries are not recommended, but can be used to
reach the maximum 40-hour battery life of the
. It is
mandatory to remove disposable batteries if the device is not going to be used
for a prolonged period of time (a week or more) to avoid battery leakage, as this
will irreversibly damage the battery compartment. Therefore we recommend
that rechargeable batteries with a low self discharge rate should be used (normal
rechargeable batteries lose their stored energy quickly even when they are not
being used), and will last for 30 hours or more. Recommended batteries are
SANYO ENELOOP, GP RECYKO+, UNIROSS HYBRIO (2000mA or more typical
capacity).
