Step 1: Charge the

Battery

Warning: This product contains a lithium-ion battery. See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for important battery safety information.

The Edge is powered by a built-in lithium-ion battery that you can recharge using the AC charger included in the product box. You can also charge the Edge using the USB cable and your computer. Charge the Edge for at least three hours before you begin using it.

Getting Started

note: To prevent corrosion, thoroughly dry the mini-USB port, weather cap, and surrounding area before

charging or connecting to a personal computer.

TIP: The Edge will not charge when outside the temperature range of 32°F–122°F (0°C–50°C).

To charge the Edge:

1.On the back of the Edge, pull up the weather cap from the mini-USB port.

2.Plug the mini-USB end of the AC or USB cable into the mini-USB port on the back of the Edge.

Edge 605/705 Owner’s Manual

Getting Started

Mini-USB port under weather

cap

3.Plug the other end into a standard wall outlet (AC) or an available USB port on your computer (USB).

A fully charged battery can run for approximately 15 hours before it must be recharged. For more battery information, see page 60.

Step 2: Install the

Edge

For the best GPS reception, position the bike mount so the front of the Edge is oriented toward the sky. You can install the bike mount on the stem or the handlebars. The stem installation (shown here) provides a more sturdy location. The optional wedge should be used under the mount for a better viewing angle.

To install the Edge on your bike stem:

1.Place the wedge on the bike stem, and then place the bike mount on the wedge. Make sure the release lever is on the left.

Bike mount

For horizontal bars: Separate and remove the top part of the mount, turn it 90 degrees, and replace it.

Continue with step 2.

For bars with a diameter less than 1 in (25.4 mm): Place the additional rubber pad under the bike mount to increase the diameter of the bar. The rubber pad also prevents the mount from slipping. Continue with step 2.

2.Attach the bike mount securely using two cable ties. Make sure the cable ties are threaded through both parts of the bike mount.

Getting Started

3.Align the Edge with the bike mount so that the Edge is parallel to the stem.

1.Go outdoors to an open area. For the best reception, make sure the front of the Edge is oriented toward the sky.

2.Wait while the Edge searches for satellites. Stand still in an open area, and do not begin moving until the locating satellite page disappears.

Note: To turn off the

GPS receiver and use the

Edge indoors, see page 53.
