Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the mini-USB port on the
left-hand side of your GPS. Connect the larger end of the USB cable to an
available USB port on your computer.
12
Charging the GPS
Battery Indicators
Your device uses a rechargeable 1200 mAh Lithium Ion battery. The battery
icon is located on the top right-hand corner of the Main Menu screen and
indicates the battery level, or charging state, as follows:
- Charger attached. Battery is charging.
- Running on battery power. Battery fully charged.
- Running on battery power. Battery is low and charging
is recommended.
When the battery reaches an extremely low level, a warning message will appear.
When you see this message, you must recharge the battery immediately.
LED indicators
• Blue - Charging
• Green - Fully charged (charger plugged in)
• Flashing blue - Low battery
Using the AC Adaptor
Plug the AC adaptor into an AC power source, then plug the other end into the
Mini USB/DC in connector on the left side of the GPS.
Charge the GPS for 8 hours before initial use. After the first charge, recharging
will normally take approximately 4 hours.

Car Installation
Setting up the GPS in your vehicle
Use the included car kit to set up the GPS in your vehicle. The car kit can either be
used on the windshield (using the suction cup), or on the dashboard using the self
adhesive disk and the suction cup together.
CAUTION: Please check with local laws regarding the mounting of devices on or
close to the windshield of your vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not mount the device where it obscures your view of the
road.
CAUTION: Do not mount the device anywhere where it might affect the
deployment of any airbags.
Using the Suction Cup
NOTE: Make sure the mounting surface is clean before mounting the car kit.
1. Fix the suction cup to the selected area with the locking lever facing up (A),
then flip the locking lever away from you to create a vacuum between the
suction cup and the mounting surface (B).
NOTE: Make sure that the suction bond is strong enough before proceeding to
the next step.

3. Insert the pegs on the car mount’s holder plate to the holes on the back of
the car holder, then move the car holder downwards until both parts are
engaged.

4. Dock the GPS on the car holder.
5. Adjust the car mount for the best viewing angle.
16
6. After setting up the GPS, connect the car charger.

Unit Basics
Using the Touch Screen
This device does not require a stylus and can be operated with your finger. This
leads to a much more natural way to operate the device.

for example in the Photo Viewer it is possible to drag a photo when it does not fit on
the screen.
Main menu screen
After going through the initial screen calibration, you will see the Main Menu screen.
This is the screen that you will generally come back to each time you exit other
functions.
At the top of the Main Menu screen, you will see the speaker volume, time/
date and battery icon.
To adjust the time/date, see “Setting the Time/Date” on page 29.
For more information on the battery icon, see “Charging the GPS” on page 13.
