battery. With normal use, the battery charge should
last an average of 3 hours. For optimum battery life and
performance:
Do not store the device in temperatures below -4°F (-20°C)
or above +140°F (+60°C).
Do not expose the battery to temperatures above +140°F
(+60°C); this may cause the battery to rupture or fail.
Do not leave the device in direct sunlight for long periods
of time
Only use the DC adapter cord supplied with the product
to charge the battery. Using another charger or connector
may damage the device or create a re hazard.
The battery is not user-servicable. Do not attempt to
remove the battery from the device; this may void your

In case of exposure to the cell contents, wash the affected
area thoroughly, and seek medical attention.
Lithium Ion batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. Lithium Ion batteries may explode if

If you plan to dispose of the device, please return the

Troubleshooting
Below is is list of common problems with GPS devices and
how to solve them.
Can’t Get a GPS Signal Lock
Check to see if you are in an area with radio interference
or signal blockage. If your cell phone or an AM/FM radio
have difculty, your GPS device might have trouble
getting a clear signal also. If you regularly travel to “dead
spots” or to areas with heavy radio interference, consider
trying an external antenna to increase the receiver power.
Some cars use metallic tinting on the windows which can
interfere with radio signals. If your windows are tinted, try
stepping outside the car with your GPS device or holding
it out the window. Once it achieves a signal lock, the
GPS device will usually be able to maintain the lock back
inside the vehicle.
Out of Memory
Delete old routes or recently entered locations that you
don’t use anymore.
Screen is blurry and hard to read
Dirt and oils from your ngers can stay on the
touchscreen. Periodically clean the touch screen with a
lint free cloth dampened with water only. If the screen
remains dirty, try a mild soap solution or a cleaning spray
designed for electronics. Do not use ammonia on the
screen, and never immerse the device in water.
