Low Battery Warning

When the battery gets low, a battery icon will appear in
the map area on the screen. This indicates that the
batteries need to be changed and that the unit will soon
shut down.

Just before complete shut down there will be a non-in-
terruptible power down sequence.
In some cases the voltage on rechargeable batteries
may drop so quickly that the unit will just shut down.
The unit will turn OFF and restart. Just replace the bat-
teries and turn the unit back ON.
