PREPARE THE TEK SERIES 1.5 HANDHELD DEVICE
YOU MUST COMPLETE THESE STEPS PRIOR TO USING THIS DEVICE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
TO CHARGE THE HANDHELD DEVICE
1. Lift the rubber cover protecting the charging jack.
2. Connect the appropriate Charger Connector to the charging jack
as shown.
3. Plug the Charger into a standard 120/240-volt AC wall outlet. The
Handheld Device will automatically power on.
4. Charge the Handheld Device for 2 hours for the first charge and every
charge thereafter. It is not harmful to let the unit charge more than 2
hours.
5. When charging is complete, as indicated by a full green bar on the
battery gauge, replace the rubber cover.
NOTE: Approximate battery life between charges is 20 hours, depending on
the frequency of use.
TO TURN THE HANDHELD DEVICE ON
On the top of the unit, firmly press and release the On/Off button.
The start-up screen will display.
TO TURN THE HANDHELD DEVICE OFF
Firmly press and hold the On/Off button. Release when the display goes
blank.
TO ADJUST THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
The Handheld Device comes with brightness controls to allow you to adjust
the backlight level for the optimum readability in the current environment.
NOTE: Higher brightness levels will decrease battery life between charges.
With the Handheld Device powered on, press and release the On/Off button
to increase/decrease brightness levels. There are 5 levels of brightness
available. The Brightness Indicator will display the current level at the top
of the display.
TO CALIBRATE THE COMPASS
In order for the TEK Series 1.5 Handheld Device to accurately display your location, you must first calibrate the
electronic compass. You should always calibrate the compass after you arrive at a new starting location, after
periods of storage, or after you install new batteries.
NOTE: Always calibrate the compass outdoors. Hold the compass level and away from objects that may generate
magnetic fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines.
1. From the main menu, select
COMPASS > CALIBRATE. The compass screen appears.
2. Rotate the Handheld Device two to three times in all three dimensions as shown below. Rotate until the black
indicators are as close as possible to the center of the green zone. If successful, your Handheld Device will
beep and vibrate as well as display a message that says “CALIBRATION DATA HAS BEEN UPDATED
SUCCESSFULLY.”
NOTE: If you are unable to get the compass to automatically update your calibration data, follow the
remaining steps.
3. Rotate until the black indicators are as close as possible to the green zone and press the Menu Selection Pad
to continue.
4. At the prompt “DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THE NEW CALIBRATION DATA?” press the arrow keys to select
YES.
5. Press
BACK to return to the main menu.
