INTRODUCTION 

Thanks for purchasing the AirLite

 

GPS from Radiant 

Instruments! This incredibly small GPS receiver provides 

lots of useful informa�on along with great features:

 

 

Geographic coordinates as determined by GPS

 

 

Direc�ons to user set Points Of Interest

 

 

Absolutely accurate Time from GPS

 

 

Distan

ce 

 

Mileage

 

 

Speed

 

 

Al�tude

 

 

Compass

 

 

Crystal clear LCD screen 

 

 

GPS lock �me as litle as 2 seconds! (Hot Start 

Mode)

 

 

Backlight 

 

Keychain atachment

 

 

Rechargeable USB batery

 

 

~10 hour opera�on �me on a single charge

 

 

Included charging cable

 

It’s obviously a great companion for anyone who is 

adventurous. Use it when outdoors. Of course, it works best 

with a clear view of the skies.

 

 

We strongly recommend that you 

get to know this product before 

taking it on your adventure. 

While small, it is loaded with 

features.  

BEFORE USE 

The package includes the GPS, along with a USB charging 

cable, a keychain lanyard and this 

manual. Before use, charge the 

GPS with the cable. While 

charging, the LED backlight 

is on. It will turn off 

automa�cally a�er a full 

charge, which can take up to 4 

hours.

 

POWER ON AND OFF 

 

Press and hold the 

MIDDLE

 

buton for 3 seconds to 

power the unit on.

 

 

Press and hold for 3 seconds to power off. 

 

 

No mater the opera�onal mode, a 3 second hold 

on the 

MIDDLE

 

buton always controls the power.

 

 

A�er powering on, the unit takes a couple of minutes to 

get a cold start GPS lock. Conversely, a warm start (with 

recent usage close to your current loca�on) will lock onto 

the current posi�on in less than a minute. A hot start 

(last recent usage very close to your current posi�on) 

takes 2 seconds!

 

OPERATIONAL SCREENS & MODES 

Tapping either the 

TOP

 

or 

BOTTOM

 

buton rotates through 

the six screens & modes of opera�on. We’ll explain each 

mode in detail:

 

1.

 

DIRECTION AND INFO SCREEN

. This is also known as 

the 

HOME SCREEN

. This mode shows a 

d

irec�on vector 

a

nd other basic info.

c.

 

POI Record Date and Time.

 

d.

 

Direc�on

 

e.

 

Distance

 

f.

 

POI Number

 

The batery charge status is provided in the upper right 

corner of the display.

 

Signal strength from the GPS constella�on is in the upper 

 

 

le� corner. 1 bar indicates that 3 satellites are captured, 2 

bars indicate that 4 satellites are locked, 3 bars indicate that 

5 satellites are locked, while 4 bars indicate that 6 or more 

satellites are being received.
