Step 1: Charge the
Battery
WARNING: This product
contains a lithium-ion battery. See
the Important Safety and Product
Information guide in the product
box for important battery safety
information.
The Edge is powered by a built-in
lithium-ion battery that you can
recharge using the AC charger
included in the product box. You can
also charge the Edge using the USB
cable and your computer. Charge the
Edge for at least three hours before
you begin using it.

NOTE: To prevent
corrosion, thoroughly
dry the mini-USB
port, weather cap, and
surrounding area before
charging or connecting to
a personal computer.

TIP: The Edge will not
charge when outside the
temperature range of
32°F–122°F (0°C–50°C).
To charge the Edge:
1. On the back of the Edge, pull
up the weather cap from the
mini-USB port.
2. Plug the mini-USB end of
the AC or USB cable into the
mini-USB port on the back of
the Edge.

3. Plug the other end into a
standard wall outlet (AC) or
an available USB port on your
computer (USB).
A fully charged battery can run for
approximately 15 hours before it
must be recharged. For more battery
information, see page 60.
Step 2: Install the
Edge
For the best GPS reception, position
the bike mount so the front of the
Edge is oriented toward the sky. You
can install the bike mount on the
stem or the handlebars. The stem
installation (shown here) provides a
more sturdy location. The optional
wedge should be used under the
mount for a better viewing angle.
To install the Edge on your
bike stem:
1. Place the wedge on the bike
stem, and then place the bike
mount on the wedge. Make
sure the release lever is on
the left.

For horizontal bars: Separate and
remove the top part of the mount,
turn it 90 degrees, and replace it.
Continue with step 2.
For bars with a diameter less than
1 in (25.4 mm): Place the additional
rubber pad under the bike mount to
increase the diameter of the bar. The
rubber pad also prevents the mount
from slipping. Continue with step 2.
2. Attach the bike mount
securely using two cable ties.
Make sure the cable ties are
threaded through both parts of
the bike mount.
3. Align the Edge with the bike
mount so that the Edge is
parallel to the stem.

for satellites. Stand still in an
open area, and do not begin
