INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your Star Navigator requires three AAA bat-
teries (not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
1. While holding down the tab on the bat-
tery compartment cover, pull the cover
up to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
After you install the batteries, the Star Navi-
gator turns itself on and
JAN
(January) ap-
pears, indicating it is ready to set up.
When the display dims or the Star Navigator
stops operating properly, wait about 1 minute
for the Star Navigator to turn off, then replace
the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the Star
Navigator for a month or more, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
TURNING ON THE
STAR NAVIGATOR
Press any button to turn on the Star Naviga-
tor. To save power, your Star Navigator auto-
matically turns itself off if you do not press
any button for about 1 minute.
Note: Your Star Navigator does not turn it-
self off during setup or if any of its rotational
or directional indicators are on.
SELECTING A LATITUDE
To calibrate your Star Navigator, select the
latitude of your location from one of these
maps, then write it down. For example, if you
live in Colorado, your latitude is 40.
