Caring for discs
Holding discs
When handling discs, always hold them by their outside or inside edges.
Cleaning
• Dirt and fingerprints on the disc may affect the quality of disc playback.
Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe discs clean. If necessary to remove
heavy dirt or fingerprints, moisten the cloth with diluted, neutral
detergent.
• Do not wipe discs in a circular direction, because scratches that follow
the direction of the track grooves tend to cause noise. Gently wipe
from the center of the disc to the outer edge.

battery.
1. Connect the AC adapter to the right side of the GPS in the jack
marked DC 12V IN.
2. Plug the two-prong end of the power cord into a grounded electrical
outlet. The battery LED lights green (if the battery is fully charged)
or red (if the battery is not fully charged).

GPS in the jack marked DC 12V IN.
2. Plug the other end into the vehicle’s 12V accessory/cigarette lighter
socket
Using the rechargeable battery
Your portable GPS comes with a lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery that
attaches to the bottom of the GPS player. Charge the battery fully before initial
use. Charging time is normally about 5 hours. A fully charged battery delivers
about 3 hours of use, but playing time varies from disc to disc. If the battery will
not be used for a long period of time, fully charge the battery before storage.
Precautions:
• New batteries should be fully charged before initial use.
• Battery should only be used and charged when temperatures are
between 32-100°F.
• Never put the battery in fire or water.
• Do not expose the battery to high temperatures or store in hot, sunny
places.
• Maintain well-ventilated conditions around the product to avoid
overheating. Don’t put the product on a bed, sofa or anything that may
block ventilation to the product.
• Do not short the battery terminals.
