Chapter 2 Getting Started
2.1 Checking the package content
Congratulations on your purchase of the 860Lite. Before you start using 860Lite,
please make sure if your package includes the following items. If any item is damaged
or missing, please contact your dealer at once.
- 860Lite PersonalMate GPS x 1
- USB to mini-USB cable x 1
- DC cigarette lighter adapter x 1
- CD Tool x 1 (user manual, software utility, driver)
- Quick start guide x 1
*Unit package contents may vary depending on countries without prior notice.
*NOTE: The Cigarette Adapter can only be used to charge 860Lite. Please don’t make
use of it with devices other than 860Lite.
11
2.2 Getting Started
Please follow the procedure step by step.
Step 1 Charging Your Battery
To charge your 860Lite, you have to plug your USB cable into the power source.
Charging time is about 1 hour and you can charge from PC/ Laptop’s USB HOST or
from cigarette-lighter in car.
For the 1st time you use the 860Lite, please charge battery until it is full. (The green
LED is off) The LED that represents the battery is the left-most battery icon (shown in
below).
- If the battery LED is red, that means battery power is critically low.
Please charge immediately.
- If the battery LED is green, which means battery is charging now.
- If the battery LED is off, which means battery is fully charged.
12
Step 2 Turning on the power switch (LOG/ Smart log)
Power off 1Hz log mode Smart log mode
2.3 Helpful Tips
- It’s better to turn off the 860Lite when you don’t use it, or the serial flash's life can’t last
long.
- Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect
GPS signal receptions
- Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal receptions.
- Driving in tunnels or indoor park may affect signal receptions.
- In general, 860Lite performs best in open space where it can see clean sky. Also weather
will affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute to worse sensitivity.
- 860Lite output data updates every second, therefore the actual position and the position
shown in your map may have slight time delay. This may happen when you drive at
higher speed or make a turn around a corner.
- Note that 860Lite may not work indoors where it can not see the sky.
13
-
For the 1st time you use the 860Lite, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the satellite
constellation information and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”.
- If your 860Lite can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change
to another spot with open space and then try again.
