Battery Installation
WARNING:
It is very important to install ALL batteries with
the proper polarity, positive (+) or negative (-) orientation, as
indicated in the unit’s battery compartment. Batteries can leak
and cause personal injury and property damage if not installed
correctly.
TIP:
The GPSMAP 176 saves user data in nonvolatile
memory and will not lose data when the batteries are changed
or if stored without batteries.
To remove the battery lid, rotate the D-ring 1/4
turn counterclockwise, and pull away.
To reinstall the battery lid, place the locking pin into
the slot and rotate the D-ring 1/4 turn clockwise.
The GPSMAP 176 uses 4 AA batteries, which can be Alkaline, rechargeable, Lithium or Ni-Cad.
Immediately after installing new batteries, turn the unit on to ensure that the unit’s power indicator
shows a fully charged battery condition (see page 49 of the Owner’s Manual). Replace all batteries at
the same time. Do NOT mix new and used batteries. Do NOT mix Alkaline batteries with Lithium or
Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries.
