Charging
The XGPS150E is charged via the USB connec-
tor on the side of the device. To charge, simply
connect the XGPS150E to the USB port on any
computer using the included USB cable. You can
also charge the XGPS150E from any standard
USB wall charger, including the one which came
with your iPad/iPod touch/iPhone.
A cigarette lighter adapter is also included for
charging the XGPS150E in a car or aircraft. It
takes approximately 2.5 hours to fully charge the
XGPS150A.
Tips for best performance
• Put the XGPS150Ein a location with a clear
view of the sky: the dashboard of your car, up on
the glareshield of a plane, a boat bulkhead, the
shoulder strap of a backpack, etc.
• The range of the Bluetooth connection will
drop as the battery level drops. If you find that the
wireless connection is failing, try recharging the
XGPS150E.
• Windshields with integrated heating elements
or metalized films can severely attenuate GPS sig-
nals. If your car or aircraft has these, we recom-
mend placing the XGPS150E in a side window for
best reception.
• The XGPS150E includes a non-slip pad for
use in a car or on a boat. Slide the XGPS150E into
the pad to secure it, making sure that the lip of the
pad seals over the top edges of the XGPS150E.
The XGPS150E is not waterproof, but it will with-
stand light splashing when it is seated properly in
the non-slip pad.
• You can renew the stickiness on the bottom
of the non-slip pad by washing the pad with warm
water and mild soap. Let the pad air dry upside
down or dry with a lint-free cloth.
• A two-piece armband is also included for us-
ing the XGPS150E during hiking, geocaching, jog-
ging, cycling or other outdoor activities. Use the
armband without the extension to secure the XG-
PS150E around the strap of a backpack. With the
extension, the XGPS150E can be secured around
your arm.
