I have the same problem after updating to the 3.0 software. The tone is the (on/off power) alarm that should just beep when we turn on our units. I bet if you don't remove one of the batteries you can not restart your unit too. Wish I had never upgraded Now..
I do have a email sent in to support and maybe I will figure out how to go back to the 2.8 version..
It seems obvious that if you don't remove a battery the unit will eat up the batteries and my tone is annoying.
I talked with Garmin support, and the microSD card must be formatted to FAT32 and everything works fine on the 3.0 firmware!
