Section 1:
Installation & Accessories
This section describes the various accessories and cables that came with
your iWAY, and exactly how to use them. Some of the most important in-
formation in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's stereo,
and how to use the MMC card to get your map information onto the iWAY.
If you need help using any of these accessories, look through this sec-
tion. Otherwise, move on to Section 2: The Map Display and Map Menu
Options beginning on page 15. You can also turn to the beginning of
Sec. 3 on page 31 if you'd rather start learning about more advanced
setup options.
Power
The iWAY operates from AA batteries or on 3 volts DC using an exter-
nal power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter and speaker. When the
power cable is used, the iWAY automatically switches to it if the exter-
nal power is greater than the battery voltage. If the external power
fails, the unit automatically switches to the batteries.
Flash memory will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life
of the product — after the unit is turned off, no battery or external
power is needed to store your data.
Batteries
The unit requires two, 1.5 volt AA batteries. We recommend that you
use alkaline batteries for the best trade-off between battery life and
cost. We recommend DURACELL
brand, but other brands will work.
If you're looking for an extended-life battery, the Duracell
ULTRA bat-
tery has performed well in our tests.
You can also use rechargeable AA alkaline batteries, such as those
made by RAYOVAC
, or rechargeable AA nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries. We do not recommend nickel cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable
batteries because we tend to get poor battery life from them.
Rechargeable alkaline batteries will not last as long as standard alka-
line batteries. However, rechargeable NiMH batteries should give you
suitable battery life.
NOTE:
The battery gauge on the Satellites screen may not read accurately
with some battery brands because discharge rates can vary signifi-
cantly. This is especially true for rechargeables. This battery gauge
was calibrated for alkaline batteries.
