40 Oregon Series Owner’s Manual
Appendix
Consider the following suggestions
to maximize battery life:
• Do not adjust the backlight more
than is necessary (page 3). Using
a backlight level above 50% of
maximum level for a prolonged
period of time will signicantly
decrease battery life.
• Select a shorter backlight timeout
(page 26).
• Turn tones off if not needed
(page 25).Turn electronic
compass off if not needed
(page 31).
• Turn on Battery Save (page 26).
• If you plan on using the Oregon
extensively in your automobile,
consider purchasing a vehicle
power cable (http://buy.garmin
.com).
You can restore your Oregon to the
original factory settings. Changes
you have made using Setup are
restored to the default settings.
To restore factory settings, touch
Setup > Reset > Restore Defaults
to Factory Settings > Yes.
