Stored data will not be lost when batteries are removed. To install batteries: 1. Remove the battery cover by lifting the D-ring, turning it 1/4 turn counterclockwise, and then pulling the cover away. 2. Insert the batteries, observing the proper polarity. 3. Reinstall the battery cover by connecting the bottom of the cover to the bottom of the unit. Make sure the tab on the cover fits into the slot on the unit. Press the cover closed and turn the D-ring clockwise to lock. Locking Pin Slot Initializing the GPS Before you can begin using your GPS 60, you must wait for the GPS to initialize. This process allows the GPS 60 to receive and store satellite information and begin using the satellites for navigation. Initialization happens automatically and should take no more than a few minutes. To initialize the unit (acquire satellites): 1. Take your GPS 60 outside where it has a clear view of the sky and turn it on. The Welcome Page appears, followed by the Satellite Page. 2. Wait while the GPS 60 searches for satellite signals. While the unit is searching, you will see the message `Acquiring Satellites.' 3. Once your GPS 60 has acquired satellites, your location in coordinates appears at the top of the page.
