Charging the Battery
Before using your Sat Nav device for the first time, we recommend that you
charge the unit for 5 hours via a USB cable (sold separately) or the supplied in-car
charger until the charging indicator turns green.
Plug the USB cable/in-car charger into the USB socket, and plug the other end
into a suitable power source.

Using the Car Adapter
When using your Sat Nav in the car, we recommend that you always use the in-
car charger to power the unit.
1.
Plug the in-car charger into the USB socket of the unit.
2.
Plug the other end into the car’s cigarette-lighter / 12V DC socket.

The charging indicator on the unit will light up red. When fully charged, the
light will turn green.
The adaptor is also compatible with 24V DC sources, as found in many heavy
goods vehicles.

Using the USB cable (sold separately)
It is possible to charge the unit via a USB cable but the charge time will be
significantly increased. Also, if the battery is very low, the unit will not fully
charge.
The charging indicator on the unit will light up red. When fully charged, the light
will turn green.
Note
When using the Sat Nav device in your car, we recommend that you always use
the in-car charger in order to maintain the battery level.
The unit is not designed to be run on battery power alone, the battery is for back
up purposes only
