About GPS System & Location Accuracy
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which
could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. In addition, the GPS
system itself limits the accuracy of the distance indicated on the device’s display to
within approximately 3-5 meters of the actual saved location.
About GPS Signals
This device must acquire GPS satellite signals to operate. The device may not be able to
acquire signals if located indoors or near tall obstructions (such as trees or tall buildings).
Go to an area free from tall obstructions to use the device. When the device acquires
satellite signals, the green LED indicator is steady. When it loses satellite signals, you
are traveling away from the stored active location, or the device cannot acquire a GPS
signal; the LED is red. This product is designed to provide direction to a saved location.
It is not designed as a monitoring device for tall obstructions, hazardous or weather
conditions, or other factors that may affect safety while using this device. For more
information about GPS, visit Audiovox Electronics Corporation’s Web site www.audiovox.

Vehicle Use Notice
Audiovox is committed to safety and responsible use. Do not use this GPS device to

sole responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The device should not be
mounted in a vehicle in a manner to distract, impair the view, or in any way interfere with
the motor vehicle’s operator or the motor vehicle’s safety features (such as an air bag).
Windshields and vehicle windows integrated with metallic materials, such as defrosters
or tinting lm, can degrade GPS reception inside a vehicle.

instruction guide are approximate measurements.
Charge the Battery
Power On to Ready Mode
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery. The
charge lasts 10 hours with typical use during active
tracking or 16 days on standby.
1. Connect the charging cable into the USB port
(e4) from one of the following power sources:
AC outlet, personal computer USB port,
(see “Power Source Specications” on page 12).
2. The LCD backlight turns on, the battery strength indicator (d2)
appears on the LCD and the green LED indicator (e1) blinks.
After 5 seconds the backlight turns off.
3. When charged, the battery strength indicator (d2) is full, and
the green LED indicator (e1) light is steady.
4. Disconnect the charging cable from the USB
port (e4). The features cannot be accessed while connected to
the charging cable.
The unit displays the battery charge level in all modes, except
when the latitude/longitude/satellite information is displayed. It
is recommended to recharge when the bars across the battery
strength indicator (d2) are at 25% or less.
1. Press and hold return (e3) for 2–3
seconds. The LCD backlight turns on and the
start-up screen appears.
2. The unit immediately starts acquiring GPS data,
indicated by the blinking green LED indicator (e1),
and the LCD displaying a blinking satellite icon and the message
Searching.
3. When your current position is determined, the green LED
indicator (e1) is steady, the LCD satellite icon disappears
and a sequence of messages appears:
Initializing > Ready.
