Installation of Spacers
IMPORTANT: There is a spacer pad and a special
insert included with your GPS Cradle. These are
provided for use with 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation
models of the iPod touch. They ensure that the iPod is
held securely in the GPS Cradle. You may damage
your iPod if you use the iPod in the Cradle without the
spacer pad (and the insert with the 4th generation
touch.)
USAGE

and 4th
generation
models of the
touch, peel off
the back of the
spacer pad to
reveal the
adhesive and
insert as shown.
Additionally for the 4th generation
models of the touch, snap the
plastic insert into the GPS Cradle
between the side clips a shown.
Double check that the clips on
the GPS Cradle fit into the
recesses on the side of the
spacer. You must use this
spacer to prevent damage to
the touch. If this insert is
missing from your
product, please call
Customer Service for a
replacement and do not
insert the iPod. 4

INSTALLATION

The GPS antenna is near the top of the Cradle and
faces out the back. Try to avoid covering the antenna
with your hand or laying it down on its back for
long periods of time. The Cradle performs best when
it has an unobstructed view of the sky.
Holder Wiring
12V Power Adaptor
Use included 12V power adaptor to connect Holder
to vehicle's power source to power GPS and charge
iPod.
Audio Out
Use Audio Out port to connect Holder to vehicle
stereo system with 3.5 mm mini stereo audio cable.
Removing iPod
To remove iPod and Cradle from Holder, pull back
on tab at top of Holder, and iPod and Cradle will
slide out easily.
Note: The GPS will operate even when iPod and
Cradle are not positioned in Holder.
Tips for Best Performance
Hold the GPS Cradle Upright
When turning on the GPS Cradle, you can often
shorten the amount of time required to determine
your position by temporarily turning off WiFi on the
iPod. Once the iPod is showing your location (in any
app), you can turn WiFi back on.
Temporarily turn off WiFi
