Getting Started

The Palm®GPS Navigator provides detailed maps, route planning, and voice navigation.

The GPS Navigator uses TomTom NAVIGATOR software and maps on your device. To use Navigator, your device makes a wireless connection to the included GPS receiver using Bluetooth transmits information to the NAVIGATOR software that is displayed on your device screen.

This guide explains how to set up the TomTom NAVIGATOR software on your device and how to customize maps. Certain steps for setting up the NAVIGATOR software are different depending on whether you have a compatible device that runs on Palm OS

Should I keep my device and the receiver connected to the vehicle power adapter while they are in use?

If your device is fully charged, it can run for about four to five hours in the car. For longer trips, it is a good idea to keep the vehicle power adapter connected to keep both your device and the receiver charged. This prevents the batteries from getting too low for the Bluetooth connection to function.

Product Regulatory Information

Static Electricity, ESD, and your Palm® device

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.

Description of ESD

Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock -- the discharge event -- when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.

ESD-susceptible equipment

Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm device, from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your Palm device, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.

GPS Navigator 23

Product Regulatory Information

Precautions against ESD

Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your device to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:

• Ground yourself when you’re holding your device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground.

• For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard threeprong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.

• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.

• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.

Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences

Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:

• Low relative humidity.

• Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)

• The rapidity with which you touch, connect or disconnect electronic devices.

While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
