AirMap® Portable Power Pack
Operation Instructions
This  portable  power  pack  is  designed  for  use  with  the  following  products:
Lowrance  Avionics
  2000c  mapping  GPS  re-
ceivers. It is compatible with related Lowrance GPS units using similar con-
nectors and 12-volt power sources.
  1000  and  AirMap
  AirMap
The AirMap units are designed to use multiple power sources. The ex-
ternal  power  cable  with  cigarette  lighter  adapter  plugs  into  a  12-volt
system  and  supplies  6  volts  of  DC  power  to  the  unit.  The  units  them-
selves  contain  AA  batteries,  which  serve  as  automatic  emergency
backup power if external power fails.
This  AirMap  Portable  Power  Pack  serves  as  the  primary  external
power  source  in  aircraft  without  cigarette  lighter  power  sockets  or  as
an additional backup for planes with power sockets. The portable power
pack makes it easy to run the unit in your own aircraft, a rental plane
or  a friend's plane. (Or, you can easily take along your AirMap GPS in a
boat, car or other vehicle.)

The AirMap PPP package includes: power pack carry bag, rechargeable
gel cell battery, battery charger and a power cord. See example above.
STOWING FOR TRANSPORT
The bag is divided into three sections. A side pocket is available for the
power cable. The battery and battery charger may be stored in the bot-
tom  of  the  bag,  where  they  will  be  covered  by  a  cushioned  nylon  flap.
The flap provides a flat, cushioned space to store the AirMap, when it is
not in use.

the battery and battery charger. When the flap is down, it creates a
flat, cushioned surface to store the AirMap.

BATTERY CARE
Make sure the battery is fully charged before you use the AirMap PPP
for  the  first  time.  When  fully  discharged,  it  takes  approximately  nine
hours to recharge the battery. Under ordinary operating conditions, the
battery will run your unit with the backlight on full bright for approxi-
mately  10  hours  and  with  the  backlight  at  a  reduced  level,  about  24
hours.  (Battery  capacity  will  vary  depending  on  the  temperature  and
backlight use.)

Indicator light
Battery charger's indicator light glows red when charging, green when
battery is fully charged. To charge, attach red connector to red (posi-
tive) contact and black connector to black (negative) contact.
To charge the battery, plug the charger into a 110 VAC electrical outlet,
then  connect  the  red  lead  to  the  red  battery  contact  and  connect  the
black lead to the black battery contact. When you plug in the charger,
the  indicator  light  glows  green  to  indicate  it  is  receiving  power.  When
you  connect  the  battery,  the  light  turns  red,  showing  it  is  charging.
When the light turns green again, the battery is fully charged.
You can recharge the battery after every flight, even if the battery was
not fully discharged. This will always keep the unit ready for your next
trip.  Disconnect  the  battery  when  stored  for  long  periods  of  time.  You
should  also  consider  charging  the  battery  once  a  month  while  in  stor-
age.
BATTERY CONNECTIONS TO AIRMAP
1.  Attach  the  power  leads  from  the  power  cable  to  the  battery  termi-
nals.  Connect  the  red  wire  to  the  (red)  positive  terminal  and  connect
the black wire to the (black) negative terminal.

Portable Power Pack carry bag.
After  mounting  the  AirMap,  turn  it  on.  If  it  won't  turn  on,  make  sure
the  power  leads  are  firmly  connected  to  the  battery  terminals.  Also,
make  sure  the  lead  colors  match  the  battery  terminal  colors  (red  posi-
tive to positive and black negative to negative).
If  it  still  doesn't  work,  check  the  battery  voltage.  Most  problems  with
portable  units  result  from  batteries  that  have  not  been  charged.  Keep
in mind that in cold weather, battery efficiency drops with the tempera-
ture.  It  is  a  good  idea  to  keep  the  battery  at  room  temperature  before
leaving home.
