battery Handling
As part of ensuring the Active 20
stays watertight, the battery pack
features a snug silicone rubber seal.
As such, after the battery pack has
been left in the unit for an extended
time without being removed, you may
nd that the snug silicone rubber
seal on the battery pack slightly
impedes its removal from the unit.
If this occurs, the best way to remove
the battery pack is to pinch the battery
pack latches a few times to disrupt
the seal, and then pull the pack out;
you may nd that gently prying the
battery pack at the top between the
unit and pack with a ngernail will help.
When storing the Active 20 for a
long period we recommend that the
battery pack be disengaged; simply
pinch and pull the battery pack from
the unit and leave loose in the unit.
Spare batteries
Whether you are going for a short walk
or a long hike, we recommend that you
always carry a spare set of batteries
(Rechargeable LiPol or Lithium AA),
keeping them in a watertight container
(e.g. a small clip-lock food container),
as although the Active 20 will give you
many hours of use with fresh batteries,
having a set of spare batteries with
you gives simple peace of mind just
in case you nd yourself out in the
wilds with the battery running low.
Using MapCards:
1. If Active 20 is on, power off.
2. Remove battery from unit.
3. Insert microSD card into slot, printed side upward;
if another Mapcard already present, remove rst.
4. Replace battery and turn Active 20 on.
5. Once the Active 20 has loaded, the unit will beep 3 times to indicate it has
seen that a MapCard is present. Loading times will vary depending on the
amount of mapping data on the MapCard (e.g. a National Trail MapCard will
load faster than a Whole GB 1:25k MapCard simply due to the area covered).
6. When the MapCard has been loaded, the Map Packs screen will
appear. From here you can press View Map to see the mapping
from its centrepoint, or Back to return to the last screen.
7. If the inserted MapCard has more than one mapping scale (e.g. our GB
Platinum Whole MapCards), the scales can be easily toggled in to by
pressing the Toggle button on the mid-left side of the unit. Please be
aware that you will need to be at a suitable zoom level to toggle each
layer. As a rough guide, to view 1:10k maps you will need to be below
1:15k, 1:25k maps below 1:30k, and 1:50k maps below 1:70k.
Tips & Tricks
The Active 20 is purpose-built for the
great outdoors, offering a long battery life
in a shock and waterproof casing.
Although the unit has been built to be
rugged and reliable, you should remember
that this is a complex electronic device
requiring specic care and maintenance
to ensure many years of accurate and
reliable use.
Spare Mapping
Although the Active 20 has been
designed for use in the great
outdoors, it is good practice to carry
a compass along with a paper map
of the area(s) you intend to travel
over. Ensuring you know how to
make correct use of both can help
to avoid unexpected difculties.
Understanding Your Map
Whilst the Active 20 can show you
your position on the map within a
few metres, it cannot alert you to
any potential dangers. As such it is
very important that you understand
the symbols and notations on
the map before setting out.
If you are unfamiliar with any symbols
or notations, the map legends for all
our mapping can be viewed in the
Knowledge Centre on our website.
