NOTE:

  

The Bluetooth module inside the NAVI-XS POI will be powered off 
without any warning, if for longer than 5 minutes no Bluetooth 
connection between the NAVI-XS POI and the host device is available 
(feature of power saving). To turn the Bluetooth module on again, 
shortly press either ON or OF button and then perform a Bluetooth 
connection.

  

2.3.3 Power 

jack 

 

In order to recharge the internal batteries (only rechargeable batteries), the Ø 3,5 

mm power jack allows you to connect either a car adapter cable (KA-NAVI-XS POI-
PS) or a power charger (PS-003) to a DC electrical outlet. Both accessories are 

available upon request (refer to the chapter 

0.2.1

 for more details). 

2.3.3.1 

Charging & Discharging the included batteries 

Your NAVI-XS POI is powered by two rechargeable batteries, an alarm will warn you 
when the batteries reach the low level.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE  THEM

Once the batteries are clipped in the NAVI-XS POI, plug one of the cable charger 
(not supplied with NAVI-XS POI, however, available upon request, see chapter 

0.2

), 

into the corresponding power jack interface of NAVI-XS POI. Plug the transformer unit 

into a main AC power socket or vehicle power outlet (it depend on the purchased 
cable charger, see chapter 

0.2

) with easy access. As far as the temperature limits is 

recognised, please refer to the table 3 in chapter 

2.2.1.14

.

 

The extreme temperatures have an unfavourable influence on the rechargeable 
batteries. The capacity and life cycle of the batteries are reduced if they are kept at 

cold or warm places, e.g. in a closed car at summer or winter conditions. Try always 

to keep the included batteries at normal temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. The 
GPS receiver with too cold or too warm batteries does not temporarily operate 

sometimes, even if the batteries are completely charged. Especially, the 

achievement of batteries is strongly reduced at temperatures under the freezing 
point. 
During the charging time the middle LED indicator on the topside of NAVI-XS POI 

flashes green, see also table 

4

. Charging will be terminated after the batteries reach 

full capacity (800 mA/h), which approximately takes 2-3 hours. During this time the 

NAVI-XS POI can also be used.   
Keeping the cable charger plugged to the equipment, when the batteries are fully 
charged, does not damage the batteries. To optimise batteries capacity, you should 

allow the batteries to discharge  them fully. If you do not intend to use your NAVI-XS 
POI for several days, we recommend you to remove the batteries.
