It also incorporates a Battery Test Circuit that allows the user to check the charge on the Battery. Using the `BATTERY TEST' Button and reading the five (5) multi-colored Battery Status Indicators, a user can determine the state of the Battery, from `LOW' to `100%'. To determine true Battery power level, either disconnect the Power Adapter or place the Charger switch in `OFF', otherwise charging voltage will be displayed. Be cautious of leaving the Battery in an automobile exposed to extreme heat or cold. In these situations take the 750M into a home or office when not in use. Extreme temperature may cause the Battery to fail. Battery charge time varies with age, initial battery power, and temperature and can take up to 12 hours from fully depleted to `100% charge. Operating the750M does not require the Battery to be at 100%, but operating the750M with the Battery power level below `LOW' may prevent automatic backup of destination address and last location information. To test the Battery simply locate and push the `BATTERY TEST' Button which is recessed on the bottom of the Battery Charger and read the corresponding Battery Status Indicator. The Battery Charger has a switch with three selections: AUTO: In the `AUTO' position, the charger will power the 750M, trickle charge the Battery, and store addresses and last location information during shutdown. BATTERY: In the `BATTERY' position, no charging occurs. The `BATTERY' position allows the 750M to be used in a stand-alone mode without the Power Adapter. If the 750M is used in the `BATTERY' position until the battery power is depleted, address book and last location information may be lost. OFF: In the `OFF' position, the Battery is not charged when used with the Power Adapter connected to the vehicle's power accessory port, but will allow the750M to operate. The `OFF' position is used to shutdown the750M when in a stand-alone mode, or to check Battery power with the Power Adapter connected and 750M in use. Battery Operation / Stand-Alone Mode The 750M Battery is a lightweight, 12 volt, sealed lead acid type that is pre-charged to be ready for operation. Its sealed construction makes it leak resistant. The Battery has an optimum discharge time of 2 amp hours that should be sufficient to operate the 750M for up to one hour if necessary. 18 TIP Battery capacity degrades at low temperatures and over the life of the system. In the event that the vehicle power port is unusable, such as a blown fuse, or if required for an airport security check, the 750M can be used solely from a new, fully charged Battery for periods up to 1 hour. To do so, simply slide the Battery Charger switch to `BATTERY'. Be certain to slide the Battery Charger switch back to `OFF' or `AUTO' when finished to avoid depleting the Battery. Map Area Switching The 750M incorporates a feature called `Auto Map Switching'. When the 750M is transported from one Map Area to another, it will automatically sense the change and then switch to the correct Map Area within several minutes if other Map Areas have been purchased and unlocked. In the event that the 750M needs to be manually switched to a different Map Area, it can be easily done as follows: Step 1: Refer to Map Area illustration on page 27. Step 2: Press OPTION to arrive at the `User Options' screen. Step 3: Scroll to the `Configuration' icon, press ENTER. Step 4: Scroll to `Map Selection', press ENTER.
