Delphi NAV300 User’s Guide
Section 1 About GPS/NAV300 Introduction
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites launched by the
U.S. military beginning in the 1970s. The satellites continuously transmit accurate
time and position information, which is freely used by commercial and military
applications worldwide. GPS receivers, such as Delphi NAV300, are designed to
pick up the high-frequency radio signals from these satellites and use the
information to help determine your exact location. Today, there are many
applications that use GPS—from marine to automotive, aviation, and military.
There are 24 satellites in total, orbiting approximately 12,000 miles above the
Earth. While a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any
one time, only three are needed to provide the two-dimensional position (latitude
and longitude), or “fix,” that is required for vehicle and marine navigation
systems. Aviation applications also need altitude, and therefore need information
from at least four satellites.
The Delphi NAV300 is designed specifically to use the continuous stream of GPS
information to help find your current position and to calculate the best route to
your desired destination using the road maps stored in its memory. With voice
and visual commands, the Delphi NAV300 helps guide you to your destination.
For best results when using Delphi NAV300:
• When the Delphi NAV300 is connected to power for the first time, leave it
connected for about two hours to charge the battery.
• Plan your route before your journey. If you need to set up a new itinerary en
route, safely park your vehicle before making any changes.
• GPS signals cannot pass through solid materials other than glass. So when
you are inside a building or tunnel, GPS may not be available. Likewise,
signal reception can be affected by overhead cover such as trees or
metalized windshield glass. Wireless devices may also interfere with signals,
causing variable reception.
• While the Delphi NAV300 can be operated by finger touch, more precise
control can be achieved using the stylus pen. Do not use other sharp objects,
which can damage the LCD screen.
• Never clean the Delphi NAV300 with the power on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth
moistened with water to wipe the screen and the exterior. Do not use paper
towels to clean the screen. Do not place anything on top of the Delphi
NAV300. Do not drop the Delphi NAV300 or subject it to severe shock.
• Keep the Delphi NAV300 away from excessive moisture and extreme
temperatures. Do not subject the Delphi NAV300 to sudden and severe
temperature changes that could cause condensation inside. In the event of
moisture condensation, allow the Delphi NAV300 to dry out completely before
use.

Delphi NAV300 User’s Guide
• Always disconnect the receiver from the power supply when leaving the car
parked for a long period or when not using the system during travel. Failure to
do so could drain the vehicle’s battery as the Delphi NAV300 continuously
draws power, even when the power is off.
Warning: Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or make any modification
to the Delphi NAV300. Doing so could result in personal injury, death, and/or
damage to the Delphi NAV300 and/or to your vehicle.
Warning: This device contains a non-replaceable lithium-ion internal
battery that can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals.
To avoid risk of fire or explosion, do not attempt to replace the Delphi NAV300
battery. The Delphi NAV300 battery is not user-replaceable.
To reduce risk of fire or injury, never disassemble, crush, puncture, or dispose of
the Delphi NAV300 in fire or water.
Warning: Never use the power adaptor in a high-moisture environment, or
touch it when your hands or feet are wet. Make sure there is adequate
ventilation around the adaptor when in use, and do not cover it with paper, vinyl,
cloth (including the carrying case) or any other material. The adaptor must be
connected to the correct power source. Do not attempt to service the unit if its
power lead or body becomes damaged or exposed to excess moisture.
Caution: Keep SD cards in a well-protected case to avoid dust and
humidity. Make sure no foreign objects can enter the SD slot.

Memory Cards
The Delphi NAV300 has 32 megabytes of internal memory available for the
operating system (Microsoft WinCe version 5.0). SD (secure digital) Memory
cards are available for purchase and should be used to store other media files
such as video (avi, MPEG4, Xvid), images (jpg, gif, png) and/or audio (MP3 or
wav) files.
An SD card can be plugged into the slot in the Delphi NAV300 and can be
purchased with various memory capacities. An SD card with 256 megabytes of
memory or more can be used in the Delphi NAV300. Delphi recommends the use
of following SD card brands: Kingston, Kingmax, Transcend, and SanDisk.
Caution: Do Not ADD or DELETE files from the SD card containing the
map data.
Accessories and Replacement Parts
You will be able to purchase the following items from the Delphi Website.
• External GPS antenna: 15-foot cable with MMCX connector; required if your
vehicle is fitted with a heat-reflective or heated windshield, or for extra GPS
performance in weak signal areas
• External Traffic Message Channel adaptor
• SD card reader: an external device that connects to your computer so that
you can download maps, audio files, movie files, and photos directly onto an
SD memory card
• Vehicle mount kit: includes suction mount so you can transfer the Delphi
NAV300 to another vehicle easily
• Protective carrying case
• 12 V vehicle power adaptor: ideal when using Delphi NAV300 in more than
one vehicle

Section 3 Installing Delphi NAV300 in Your Vehicle
Warning: To avoid personal injury, follow the safety guidelines and
installation instructions provided so that the Delphi NAV300 does not obstruct
the view of the driver, interfere with the operation of any airbags and safety
features in the vehicle, or become airborne in the case of an accident. Do not
attempt to install Delphi NAV300 while driving.
Before installing the Delphi NAV300, check whether your vehicle is fitted with a
heat-reflecting or heated windshield. If so, you will need to purchase an external
antenna from your retailer to allow your unit to pick up GPS signals.
NOTE: Alternative mounting options may be available for your vehicle make and
model. Contact your retailer or Delphi for more information.
NOTE: In the state of California and Minnesota, it is necessary to use the
dashboard mount, according to state law.
Follow these steps to mount the suction mount to the windshield:
1. Flip up the GPS Antenna.
Pull the lever away from the windshield/dashboard mount to remove the suction
cup. Pull the release tab to release the suction. If the suction cup does not
adhere, clean the mounting area of the windshield with a cloth dampened with
isopropyl alcohol. Let the area dry, then reapply the suction cup. Be sure to
mount the unit when the windshield is warm – it may be difficult when the
windshield is cold.
2. Using the two tabs on the bottom of the cradle,
locate the Delphi NAV300 and rotate it
rearward. While pushing in the two release
buttons, continue rotation until the unit is firmly
seated in the cradle.
3. Release the two grey buttons. Reverse the
operation to remove the unit.
4. Position the suction cup firmly against the
windshield at the desired location
5. Flip the lever towards the suction cup. The
unit is now secure for operation.

Inserting an SD Card
Delphi NAV300 has a slot for Secure Digital (SD) cards located in the bottom.
Delphi NAV300 will accept SD cards containing digital maps or other data, such
as audio (MP3 or wav) files, movie (avi, MPEG4, Xvid) files, or image (gif, jpg,
png) files.
The Delphi NAV300 comes equipped with an SD card preloaded with USA and
Canada maps. The card will already be in position in the SD card slot, and ready
to use for navigation.
If you choose to use a second SD card (separate purchase required) for music,
movie or picture viewing, remove the navigation system SD card by slightly
pushing the top of the card to release it, then pull it out of the slot.
Make sure the card is not in use before removing it.
Power off the unit, insert the new SD card with the label facing the front of the
device, and power the unit on.
