Battery/Map Data Cartridge Installation
The StreetPilot operates on six (6) AA batteries, which are installed in the left end of the unit, as
viewed from the front. Alkaline, rechargeable NiCad, or Lithium batteries may be used. For extended
operation, use the cigarette lighter adapter to conserve batteries. The on-screen battery level indicator
may be calibrated for alkaline or NiCad batteries, but will not be totally accurate when using Lithium
batteries.
To install batteries and a map data card:
1. Lift up the metal D-ring at the end of the unit rotating ¼ turn anticlockwise to open the
compartment door.
2. Install the batteries (picture at right). It is very important to install ALL batteries with the proper
polarity, positive (+) and negative (-) orientation, as indicated by the markings molded into the
rubber base of the unit and inside the battery compartment door. Do not mix new batteries with
used batteries. Do not mix Alkaline with Lithium or NiCad rechargeable batteries.
3. If you are using an optional Map Data Card with detailed map data or if you plan to
transfer map data from a MapSource
®
CD-ROM, plug a blank card into the slot next to
the battery compartment, with the label facing toward the front of the StreetPilot (picture at right).
4. Close the battery compartment door and lock in place by turning the D-ring ¼ turn clockwise,
then return the ring to the flush position.
Battery life may vary due to a variety of factors, including ambient temperature and use of
backlighting. You may find that Lithium batteries provide longer life in colder conditions. Data is
retained in memory by an internal Lithium battery when the AA batteries are removed.
Refer to Appendix A for detailed information about MapSource

CD-ROM’s and Data Cards.
Warning
Improper battery installation may cause
personal injury or property damage and/or
battery leakage.
Caution
Make certain the connector end of the Map
Data Card is inserted into the cartridge slot,
NOT the extractor handle end. Improper
installation can result in internal damage to
your StreetPilot Unit. When properly inserted,
the cartridge will protrude slightly from the slot
(not flush).
