Charging the Battery

We recommend that when you use the Satellite 
Navigation System in your car, that you always use 
the 12V car accessory adapter in order to maintain 
the battery level.

If the battery level is low, the GPS reception will be 
reduced. In order to optimize signal reception, keep 
the battery charged. 

When in use in battery mode, recharge by connecting 
the 12V car accessory adapter when the battery is 
low.

Raising the Antenna

The Antenna must be raised for the Satellite 
Navigation System to receive satellite signals. The 
Antenna must be raised before the Satellite 
Navigation System is fitted to the cradle. Lift the GPS 
antenna as shown.

In order to optimise signal reception, the antenna 
should be as near horizontal as possible.
