Why does my GPSMAP 196 Shut Down when it is Tapped?

Since there is no standard size for AA batteries and our GPS must hold all sizes of them, smaller AA batteries tend to be slightly loose in the unit. One solution to open the battery cover, lay a thin piece of foam rubber or a folded paper towel on the batteries and replace the cover. This will press the batteries into the case and improve the connection with the contacts.
