Nuvi 40 Operating Manual

Greetings, Will you please tell me what is the function of locked switch? I am having trouble keeping my battery charged and am wondering if I am doing something wrong. Should I leave the unit in locked mode? I had to buy anew charger for the auto. It charges the battery but when it is charging I lose the navigation screen. I get a screen display showing the battery is being charged.
