Subject to proper user calibration.2. The temperature rating of the unit may exceed the usablerange of some batteries. Some batteries can rupture at hightemperatures.3. Subject to accuracy degradation to 100 m 2DRMS under theU.S. DoD imposed Selective Availability (SA) Program whenactivated.4. WAAS accuracy in North America. (DGPS using BeaconReceiver.)5. Alkaline batteries lose a significant amount of their capac-ity as the temperature decreases. Use lithium batteries whenoperating the unit in below-freezing conditions. Extensive useof screen backlighting, electronic compass, and audible tonessignificantly reduces battery life.Important Battery InformationWhen replacing batteries, use only new or fullycharged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, NiMH orNiCAD batteries. Rechargeable batteries may typi-cally display less capacity than disposable batteries.Remove the batteries from the unit if you do not planto use it for several months. Storing batteries in theunit for prolonged periods may result in leakage anddamage to the battery compartment.Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper careand disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate usedbatteries, as internal materials may ignite with explo-sive violence.Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, and beep tonessignificantly reduces battery life. To set backlightingintensity and timeout, see page 78. To disable WAAS,see page 6. To mute the beep tones, see page 79.76CS Plus Owner’s Manual 89APPENDIX > SPECIFICATIONS190-00507-00_0A.indd 89 2/14/2005 3:33:55 PM
