Installation & Accessories

Power

The Atlas operates from AA batteries or on 3 volts DC using an optional

external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. When the power ca-

ble is used, the Atlas automatically switches to it if the external power is

greater than the battery voltage. If the external power fails, the unit auto-

matically switches to the batteries.

Flash memory will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life of

the product — after the unit is turned off, no battery or external power is

needed to store your data.

Batteries

The unit requires two, 1.5 volt AA batteries. We recommend that you use

alkaline batteries for the best trade-off between battery life and cost. We

recommend DURACELL

brand, but other brands will work. If you're look-

ing for an extended-life battery, the Duracell

ULTRA battery has per-

formed well in our tests.

You can also use rechargeable AA alkaline batteries, such as those made

by RAYOVAC

, or rechargeable AA nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

We do not recommend nickel cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable batteries be-

cause we tend to get poor battery life from them.

Rechargeable alkaline batteries will not last as long as standard alkaline

batteries. However, rechargeable NiMH batteries should give you suitable

battery life.

Lithium batteries are lighter than alkaline, and with some brands of lithium

battery the Atlas MNS will float. We've tested the Atlas MNS using Ener-

gizer

lithium batteries, and it remained afloat.

NOTE:

The battery gauge on the Satellite Status Page may not read accu-

rately with some battery brands because discharge rates can vary sig-

nificantly. This is especially true for rechargeables. This battery gauge

was calibrated for alkaline batteries.

Do not mix different battery types. Mixing battery types may cause leakage.

(For example, don’t use both alkaline and NiMH batteries at the same time,

and don't use standard alkalines with rechargeable alkalines.)
