I didn't think of this, been a Meri owner for so long. Hold the button down 'till it beeps. Then the startup screen should appear. NIB new from retailer ---I have held the button down for 1 minute plus no beep no nothing ,,have tried bending the wire at the battery connection,scratching the contacts to make better contact still nothing

have tried several sets of both style batteries all are tested as fully charged new,, just doesnt turn on

I recently received a new in box meridian marine gpsr as a gift ,,unknown to me or the giver of gift that this unit has been discontinued since 2004 ,,the factory was no help as it is out of warrenty ,,any help on how to power up this unit for the first time would help,,,yes I know were the power button is + what direction the batteries go in + how to close + latch battery cover --so no stupid comments ..does this unit need the sd card to turn on?? help--

thanks for the reply back ,,my wife bought me a new Magellan marine today for 86.00 new in box

is your triton 400 still availible??? e-mail me at darkarbl@yahoo.com if it is not sold

if you can figure out how to download #'s into the ST map GPS I would like to know ...I have been writing or printing off computer all the info,hints,clues etc..my st map unit is 4-5 yrs old workes great for GC's & for getting me lost or found while hunting
