Screen Control Buttons
Before field use
Once you have fully charged your ike unit we recommend that you fully charge the battery and
calibrate the compass to fine-tine the compass for your local operating area.
Installing and charging the battery
New batteries should always be fully charged in your ike units to ensure that they are
conditioned for optimal capacity.
Charging batteries in the ike unit ensure that their internal capacity gauge is correctly calibrated
to reflect the correct capacity of the battery.
With the battery securely in place, and external power applied, tap the
power icon (top-right of the Home screen) to access the Power
settings.

www.ikegps.com/quickstart Page 14 www.ikegps.com/support
On the ‘Battery’ tab, the charge status of the battery is indicated as
follows:
The charge bar (0 to 100) indicates the level of charge. The closer
to 100 the fuller the charge
The ‘mAH consumed:’ value indicates how much capacity is still to
be charged. The lower the number the fuller the charge.
The red power/charge LED will blink if the unit is charging.
If the power/charge LED stop blinking this indicates that the charge
level is around 98%.
The ‘mAH consumed:’ value may slowly decrease as the battery
capacity is calibrated for optimal use.
Once the charge indicator (red LED) stops blinking and the ‘mAH
consumed:’ value stops decreasing then the battery has been fully
charged.
For fully-charged new batteries the ‘mAH consumed:’ value will be
near zero. For older batteries the ‘mAH consumed:’ may be above
zero due to natural charge/discharge cycle capacity degradation.
Press and hold the power button until the ‘Power Button’ options
appear, and then tap the [Reset] option. Resetting the ike unit will
reset the battery capacity

www.ikegps.com/quickstart Page 15 www.ikegps.com/support
Allow the ike unit to fully power up past any start up screens and return
to the ike home screen.
If you have purchased/received any additional/spare batteries with your ike unit/kit, please
repeat the above process to ensure that the correct capacity levels are set.
Suspend the ike unit by pressing once on the Power button. This
should cause the LCD screen to dim.
WARNING! Changing batteries should only be performed
when the unit is suspended or disconnected from external
power.
Similar to the Turning your ike on for the first time instructions, replace the battery by:
releasing the lock,
remove the battery cover
remove the existing battery
fit the new uncharged battery
replace and relock the battery cover.
Un-suspend the ike unit by pressing once on the Power button.
This should cause the LCD screen to return to the last screen.
Fully charge the new battery using the previous steps to monitor the charge status until fully charged.

www.ikegps.com/quickstart Page 16 www.ikegps.com/support
Travel Charger
The Travel Charger is an item, that is provided with ikePro & ikeSolutions kits or an optional
accessory for ikeBasic units, that lets you charge a spare battery pack on the go. Use it in your
vehicle or in your office so you always have a charged battery pack.
It is strongly recommended that all new batteries are initially fully charged in the ike unit ensure
that their internal capacity gauge is correctly calibrated to reflect the correct capacity of the
battery. After this initial full charge they can then be charged in the Travel Charger.
Device Features
CAUTION: Only use authorized devices with the Travel Charger. Failure to do so
may damage your device and void your warranty.
