Important
Satellite signals are required for this product to
function in Navigation Mode.
There may be occasions within your home or building
when the signal strength is limited and Navigation
Mode may not be possible.
This is quite normal for products of this type.
Your car may have an athermic heat reflecting
windscreen or windscreen heating that prevents the
GPS receiver acquiring a valid signal. In these cases
you may have to use an external antenna (not
supplied).
The USB connector on the Satellite Navigation
System is for future use as the maps are pre-loaded.
The Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite
based system that provides location and timing
information around the globe. GPS is operated and
controlled under the sole responsibility of the
Government of the United States of America, who are
responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any
changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in
environmental conditions, may impact the operation
of your Satellite Navigation System.

When mounting the Satellite Navigation System in
your car make sure that it does not obscure your view
or impede the operation of any driving controls.
Prohibited Areas
Do not operate your Satellite Navigation System in
hospitals or near any electrical medical equipment.
Do not operate your Satellite Navigation System in

environments. Do not operate or store your Satellite
Navigation System in high temperatures (>60
direct sun light. Do not store in a microwave or
pressurised container. Do not pierce or break the
battery casing.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause the
battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite
and cause injury or damage.
If you come into contact with leaked battery acid

Charging the Battery
We recommend that when you use the Satellite
Navigation System in your car, that you always use
the 12V car accessory adapter in order to maintain
the battery level.
If the battery level is low, the GPS reception will be
reduced. In order to optimize signal reception, keep
the battery charged.
When in use in battery mode, recharge by connecting
the 12V car accessory adapter when the battery is
low.
Raising the Antenna
The Antenna must be raised for the Satellite
Navigation System to receive satellite signals. The
Antenna must be raised before the Satellite
Navigation System is fitted to the cradle. Lift the GPS
antenna as shown.
In order to optimise signal reception, the antenna
should be as near horizontal as possible.

GPS Receiver
Note: : At least three GPS signals are required
for the Satellite Navigation System to operate.
Note: If the Satellite Navigation System is being
used for the first time, up to 10 minutes may be
required to find a signal.
Note: There may be occasions within your home

signal. In these cases you may have to use an
external antenna (not supplied). See below.
You can view the number of satellite signals the
Satellite Navigation System is receiving and also the
strength of these signals (see page 39).
External Antenna
If the GPS receiver fails to acquire a valid signal when
mounted in your car it may be due to a heat reflecting
coating or heating elements in your windscreen.
In these cases an external antenna will be required
(not supplied).
Plug the external antenna into the socket on the left
side of the GPS antenna.You should now receive a
valid signal.
Sidewheel
