Introduction

1. Power Switch

To turn the IOGEAR GPS unit ON/OFF, slide the switch towards the desired position as indicated below.

ON – Slide switch to the right position to turn on OFF – Slide switch to the left position to turn it off

2. Power Jack

Before you can use the IOGEAR GPS unit, you need to charge it for approximately 3 hours to fully charge. In the box, you should have received both an AC-DC charger, and car charger

• AC Charger – Can be connected to any power outlet found in your home.

• DC Charger – For vehicle use; connects to the cigarette lighter port.

To charge the built-in battery, simply connect one of the included chargers to the power jack on your GPS unit.

3. Reset Switch

The main function of the reset switch is to perform a Cold Start of the GPS unit. Essentially, a cold start wipes off all the data - such as satellite IDs, position information, etc. - stored in the GPS memory. After the GPS unit is “cold-started” it will obtain all required information from scratch.

Instances when you would need to do a cold start of the GPS unit include:

GPS cannot establish communication with the satellites even

after long periods of waiting

You have moved to another location (such as to a different state/country) with the GPS unit OFF and now it cannot establish its position

Cold-Start Procedure

1. Turn the GPS ON

2. Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds

3. Release reset button

After performing a cold-start, the GPS unit should take about 5 minutes to establish its position, since it needs to gather all GPS data from scratch. However, depending on your location/ environment, this process may take up to 15 minutes.
