Safety
Safety
Important
Satellite signals are required for this product to
function in Navigation Mode.
There may be occasions within your home or building
when the signal strength is limited and Navigation
Mode may not be possible.
This is quite normal for products of this type.
Your car may have an athermic heat reflecting
windscreen or windscreen heating that prevents the
GPS receiver acquiring a valid signal. In these cases
you may have to use an external antenna (not
supplied).
The USB connector on the Satellite Navigation
System and the USB cable are for future use as the
maps are pre-loaded. Your Satellite Navigation
System is supplied with detailed UK maps and also
the major roads of Europe (MRE) so you do not need
the USB functions to operate the system.
The Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite
based system that provides location and timing
information around the globe. GPS is operated and
controlled under the sole responsibility of the
Government of the United States of America, who are
responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any
changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in
environmental conditions, may impact the operation
of your Satellite Navigation System.
Using Your Satellite Navigation
System in the Car
When using your Satellite Navigation System while
driving it is essential that you drive with due care and
attention.
Never modify the settings or program your Satellite
Navigation System while driving.
Only look at the Satellite Navigation System map
when it is safe to do so.
Only follow the Satellite Navigation System
instructions when the road regulations allow you to
do so.

Safety
When mounting the Satellite Navigation System in
your car make sure that it does not obscure your view
or impede the operation of any driving controls.
Prohibited Areas
Do not operate your Satellite Navigation System in
hospitals or near any electrical medical equipment.
Do not operate your Satellite Navigation System in
aircraft.
Battery
Your Satellite Navigation System uses a Li-ion
battery. Do not use it in humid, wet or corrosive
environments. Do not operate or store your Satellite
Navigation System in high temperatures (>60oC) or in
direct sun light. Do not store in a microwave or
pressurised container. Do not pierce or break the
battery casing.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause the
battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite
and cause injury or damage.
If you come into contact with leaked battery acid
wash thoroughly and seek medical attention.
When your battery has reached the end of its
life;
Contact your local council regarding
available recycling or disposal options. Do
not dispose of electrical products in the
general waste.

Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Before using your Satellite Navigation System, the
battery will need to be charged. To maximize the life
of the battery the first charge must fully charge the
battery. We recommend that you charge the Satellite
Navigation System for 4 hours in order to achieve the
full charge. Subsequent charge times may be shorter.
Plug the mains adapter into the socket at the bottom
of the Satellite Navigation System.
Plug the adapter into the mains supply and switch it
on. The charge light will glow orange.
When in use in battery mode, recharge by connecting
either the mains adapter or the 12V car accessory
adapter when the battery is low.
We recommend that when you use the Satellite
Navigation System in your car, that you always use
the 12V car accessory adapter in order to maintain
the battery level.
If the battery level is low, the GPS reception will be
reduced. In order to optimize signal reception, keep
the battery charged.
Raising the Antenna
The Antenna must be raised for the Satellite
Navigation System to receive satellite signals. The
Antenna must be raised before the Satellite
Navigation System is fitted to the cradle. Lift the GPS
antenna as shown.
In order to optimise signal reception, the antenna
should be as near horizontal as possible.

(a)
(b)
Fitting GNAV22 to the cradle
There are three lugs, one at the top and two at the
bottom. These fit into slots on the Satellite
Navigation System. Slide the bottom lugs into the
Satellite Navigation System then click the top lug into
the slot.
To remove the Satellite Navigation System from the
cradle, push the tab above the top lug. Pull the
Satellite Navigation System forward of the top lug
and then up to release it from the bottom lugs.

Note: If the Satellite Navigation System is being
used for the first time, up to 10 minutes may be
required to find a signal.
Note: There may be occasions within your home
or building when the signal strength is limited
and navigation may not be possible. This is quite
normal of products of this type.

signal. In these cases you may have to use an
external antenna (not supplied). See below.
You can view the number of satellite signals the
Satellite Navigation System is receiving and also the
strength of these signals (see page 39).
External Antenna
If the GPS receiver fails to acquire a valid signal when
mounted in your car it may be due to a heat reflecting
coating or heating elements in your windscreen.
In these cases an external antenna will be required
(not supplied).
Plug the external antenna into the socket on the left
side of the GPS antenna.You should now receive a
valid signal.
Sidewheel
