Battery Information
WARNING
The temperature rating for the device may exceed the usable
range of some batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture at high
temperatures.
Do not use a sharp object to remove batteries.
CAUTION
Contact your local waste disposal department to properly
recycle the batteries.
NOTICE
Alkaline batteries lose a significant amount of their capacity as
the temperature decreases. Use lithium batteries when
operating the device in below freezing conditions.
Maximizing the Battery Life
You can do several things to extend the life of the batteries.
• Reduce the backlight brightness (Adjusting the Backlight
Brightness, page 12).
• Reduce the backlight timeout (Display Settings, page 12).
• Use battery save mode (Turning On Battery Save Mode,
page 1).
• Decrease the map drawing speed (Configuring the Maps,
page 12).
Turning On Battery Save Mode
You can use battery save mode to prolong the battery life.
From the app drawer, select Setup > Display > Battery
Save > On.
In battery save mode, the screen shuts off when the backlight
times out. You can select to turn on the screen.
Long-Term Storage
When you do not plan to use the device for several months,
remove the batteries. Stored data is not lost when batteries are
removed.
Installing AA Batteries
Instead of the optional NiMH battery pack (Installing the NiMH
Battery Pack, page 1), you can use two alkaline, NiMH, or
lithium batteries. This is useful when you are on the trail and
cannot charge the NiMH battery pack. Use NiMH or lithium
batteries for best results.
NOTE: Standard alkaline batteries are not recommended for the
Oregon 750 models when using the camera feature.
