Other ways to increase the life of the batteries include:

• Removingyourbatteriesforlong-termstorage

• SettingtheGPSSettingstoPowerSavingmode

• Usingbatterieswithhighermilliampratings(suchasDuracellUltras,EnergizerE2s,etc.)

Why are the new batteries that I put in the device the last time I used it (a month ago)

already dead?

Because the Earthmate GPS PN-20 has a real-time clock that requires power even when the device

is powered off, your batteries are constantly in use. If you use your Earthmate GPS PN-20 spo-

radically (more than a month between uses), remove the batteries for long-term storage and then

reinsert them when you want to use the device to improve battery life.

Why does it take so long to nd satellites?

Acquiring satellite data takes longer if the batteries are low or if the Earthmate GPS PN-20 does not

have a clear view of the sky. Be sure that trees, buildings, and other obstacles are not blocking the

Earthmate GPS PN-20 when you begin tracking.

Other factors, such as if you haven’t used the device for a long time or if you’ve moved the device a

great distance from its last location, can affect the amount of time it takes to nd satellites.

How do I reset the Earthmate GPS PN-20 when it will not turn off?

You can reset the Earthmate GPS PN-20 by holding the Power button for seven seconds. If that

does not work, remove and replace the batteries to reset the Earthmate GPS PN-20.

Why won’t my Lithium-ion battery hold a charge?

The Li-ion battery is designed to last for 300-500 uses, depending on environmental conditions.
