Operation Time
Using alkaline cells, typical operation time is from about 12 to 24
hours depending on sound volume and how often the backlight
is on. Other factors that affect the operation time will include
chemistry of the battery (many of the new high performance
batteries, such as the "Duracell
than conventional alkaline cells under high demand applica-
tions). Operation at lower temperatures will also reduce battery
life.
The SR-60 display can also show random symbols when the bat-
tery power is too low to drive the internal logic circuits correctly.
This is remedied by simply putting fresh batteries into the unit.
To preserve battery life, the SR-60 will automatically shut down
after 1 hour of no key presses. Simply power the unit on to
resume use.

Low Battery Warning
When the battery gets low, a battery icon will periodically ap-
pear in the map area on the screen. This indicates that the batter-
ies need to be changed and that the unit will soon shut down. A
tone will sound at ten-minute intervals.

Just before complete shut down there will be a non-interruptible
power down sequence. An extended buzz will sound when the
SR-60 is about to go into shutdown sequence.

power down and restart. Just replace the batteries and power
the unit back on.
