The following guidelines will improve performance and provide longer operating times for the Bluetooth
GPS receiver:
· Do not mix old and new batteries.
· The use of alkaline-type batteries is recommended to provide the longest operating time.
· Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable batteries.
· If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Old or leaking
batteries can cause damage to the unit and will void the warranty.
1.3.4.2 Recharging the Batteries
Insert a power adapter into an electrical outlet and connect its power jack to the socket on the rear of
the charging stand. Simply placing the Bluetooth GPS receiver into the charging stand will begin the
charging process. The LED on the front of the charging stand serves as a charge indicator.
Approximately 3-4 hours are required to fully charge the batteries. Remember to turn your Bluetooth
GPS receiver OFF before placing it into the charging stand. Please note that while the receiver is
charging, regardless of the method, there is no indicator of the charging on the actual receiver.
When you begin charging, the red light will display on your cradle. In addition, the red light that turns on
when you are charging does not turn off when you have finished charging. So long as your receiver is
connected to the charger, this red light will remain on. A full recharge of your receiver generally takes
about two hours. In order to ensure that your unit is fully charged, leave the GPS receiver in the cradle
overnight.
Caution: The charging stand in your kit is intended for use with rechargeable batteries. Do not attempt
to recharge any other batteries with the charging stand. Doing so may cause the batteries to leak or
explode, thus damaging your receiver.
