Battery Information
WARNING
This product contains a lithium-ion
battery. To prevent the possibility of
personal injury or product damage
caused by battery exposure to extreme
heat, store the device out of direct
sunlight.
The temperature rating for the device
(page 45) may exceed the usable range
of some batteries. Alkaline batteries
can rupture at high temperatures.
notice
Alkaline batteries lose a signicant
amount of their capacity as temperature
decreases. Therefore, use lithium
batteries when operating the device in
below-freezing conditions.
The device operates on the included
lithium-ion battery pack or three AA
batteries. For tips on maximizing
battery life and other battery
information, see page 46.
Installing the Lithium-ion
Battery Pack
1. Turn the D-ring counter-clockwise,
and pull up to remove the cover.
2. Locate the battery
➊
that came in
the product box.
➊
3. Align the metal contacts on the
battery with the metal contacts in
the battery compartment.
Getting Started
Montana 600 Series Owner’s Manual 3
4. Insert the battery into the
compartment, contacts rst.
5. Gently press the battery into place.
6. Replace the battery cover, and turn
the D-ring clockwise.
Charging the Lithium-ion Battery
Pack
notice
To prevent corrosion, thoroughly
dry the mini-USB port, the weather
cap, and the surrounding area before
charging or connecting to a computer.
Before you use the device the rst
time, fully charge the battery. Charging
a depleted battery takes 4½ hours. The
device will not charge when outside
the temperature range of 32°F to 113°F
(0°C to 45°C).
1. Plug the AC charger into a standard
wall outlet.
2. Pull up the weather cap
➊
from the
mini-USB port
➋
.

➋
3. Plug the small end of the AC
charger into the mini-USB port.
4. Charge the device completely.
The device may feel warm when
charging.
Removing the Lithium-ion Battery
Pack
WARNING
Do not use a sharp object to remove
batteries.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Pull up on the side of the battery
that is closer to the key.
Getting Started
4 Montana 600 Series Owner’s Manual
Installing AA Batteries
Instead of the lithium-ion battery pack,
you can use alkaline, NiMH, or lithium
batteries. This is especially useful
when you are on the trail and cannot
charge the lithium-ion battery pack.
Use NiMH or lithium batteries for best
results.
1. Turn the D-ring counter-clockwise,
and pull up to remove the cover.
2. Insert three AA batteries, observing
polarity.
3. Replace the battery cover, and turn
the D-ring clockwise.
4. Hold (page 1).

Satellite Signals
After the device is turned on, it begins
acquiring satellite signals. The device
may need a clear view of the sky to
acquire satellite signals. When the
bars turn green, your device has
acquired satellite signals. The time and
date are set automatically based on
the GPS position. To adjust the time
settings, see page 39.
For more information about GPS, go to

• Bring the Garmin device within
range 3 m (10 feet) of the ANT+
accessory.
• After you pair the rst time, your
Garmin device automatically
recognizes the ANT+ accessory
each time it is activated. This
process occurs automatically when
you turn on the Garmin device and
only takes a few seconds when
the accessories are activated and
functioning correctly.
• When paired, your Garmin device
receives data from only your
accessory, and you can go near
other accessories.

Garmin-Montana-650

  • Bij montage van de garmin 650 op het fietsstuur valt hij altijd uit op wat oneffen wegen, kent iemand deze problemen en zo ja ,...is er iets aan te doen?
    Mvg. Gerrie,

  • De screentouch van mijn Garmin Montana 650 is ontregeld waardoor tikken op een icoon de foute reactie geeft. Calibreren lukt niet meer omdat ik niet op het menupunt "calibreer scherm" kan komen.
    Ook resetten lukt niet om dezelfde reden. Bestaat er een andere mogelijkheid om een harde reset uit te voeren?
    Mvrgr.

  • Mijn toestel start niet meer op: als ik het aanzet zie je nog loading foto's en dan valt hij weer uit. Ik heb nieuwe batterijen geprobeerd, ook op stroom aangesloten en op de PC niets helpt hem opstarten! Gesteld op 8-3-2015 om 20:38

  • Mijn Garmin Montana 600 maakt geen contact meer met massaopslag. Hij herkent de usb kabel wel maar als ik dan klik op JA om d=naar massa opslag te gaan gaat het toestel uit. Gesteld op 25-6-2014 om 08:25

    • Sluit dat ding aan op je computer. Ga naar basecamp. Pak de handleiding van basecamp erbij. Lees, ga naar blz 146 en lees meer over wissen. Geantwoord op 5-7-2014 om 20:20
