May 2008

WELCOME
Congratulations on the purchase of your Logic Gear GPS navigator. It will help you find
your way quickly and easily, whether you travel point-to-point or by the scenic route
stopping at multiple via point along the way. The comprehensive POIs (points-of-interest)
instantly show you what is available around you along your chosen route.
Your Logic Gear GPS is small enough to fit into your shirt pocket or handbag when not
being used in the car. It includes extra multimedia player functions a digital-music player
for your favorite music, a digital-video player for watching videos or playing photo slide
shows of your loved ones, and an Ebook for viewing your text notes.
Use this manual to get you started and explore your way to your destination.
(for more detailed information on using your Logic Gear Navigation, refer to
www.logicgearnavigation.com.)
Your Logic Gear GPS is optimized for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for
both single and multi point routes using adaptable route parameters.
Use your GPS to plan your whole route across the installed map set. You can plan your

route across multiple states and countries without changing maps. You always have
complete freedom to go wherever you wish-just select your destination and hit the road.
You do not need to use a stylus. All touch-screen buttons and controls are designed so
that you operate them with your fingertips.
Use the touch-screen buttons to access all program functions and travel through all the
program screens. Most of the screens (especially menu functions and settings) can be
accessed from several other screens minimizing the number of actions needed to reach
the desired function.
A single tap triggers most of the screen controls-you do not need to “double tap” or “tap &
hold” the touch screen, which can be unsafe in a moving vehicle. The only exceptions
are “drag & drop” for moving the map, or scaling it in map mode.
AC HOME CHARGER (optional accessories – purchase separately)
Your Logic Gear XL series GPS battery has already been charged during production.
We recommend that you charge the battery only after that first charge is used up. The

first time you should charge it for 12 hours. Subsequent charge times may take 2 to 3
hours.
1. plug the charger into the charger socket of the GPS.
2. plug the charger into a power point.
3. the orange charging indicator on the front of the device will light up indicating power
supply is available and your GPS is charging.
4. when the GPS is fully charged the orange indicator will change to green.
SAFETY FIRST!
Always turn the power point off first prior to removing the ac home charger from the power
source.
Disconnect the ac home charger power cord by grasping the plug not the cord.
Use only chargers supplied with the device for charging. Using other chargers can
permanently damaged your device and will void all warranty
Do not immerse in water
Do not use if the cable is damaged or cut
Keep away from open flame
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the device.
This device is not intended for use by young children or infirm person unless they are

being adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the
device safely.
DC CAR CHARGER
When using your Logic Gear GPS in a vehicle we recommend that you always use the DC
car charger to power the unit, especially on long journeys. Always install the DC car
charger cable so that it does not obscure any other instruments or controls or interfere
with driving.
Plug the DC car charger into the charger socket right side of the device. Plug the other
end on the DC car charger into the vehicle’s accessory/cigarette lighter socket.
USB CABLE
Your GPS can also be charged by connecting the USB cable to the device and the USB
port on your PC. Microsoft Activesync is not required for using with this product. All
firmware and map loading can be supplied and updated via SD card.

USING YOUR LOGIC GEAR GPS IN A VEHICLE
SAFETY FIRST! To prevent personal injury to yourself, others traveling with you, or to
other vehicles traveling the same road, it is advisable that the driver never uses the GPS
in any manner that may distract attention while driving, or forces the driver to take his eyes
off the road.
Your Logic Gear GPS determines your exact location by receiving satellite information to
the built-in GPS receiver. The position information obtained by the GPS receiver is not
transmitted anywhere, so nobody else can track you using this program.
We recommend that you input your route into your GPS before beginning your journey.
The driver’s attention should always be on the road. Plan your route before departure and
pull over if you need to change route parameters.
Logic Gear’s GPS has a built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using
screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless you have a passenger to operate, we
recommend you activate the Safety Mode for safety reason.

If you are planning to use your GPS while driving, remember to keep your eyes on the
road ahead, and do not attempt to operate the controls of the device while driving. Never
place your GPS where it might obstruct the driver’s view of the road ahead, is within the
deployment zone of airbags, or where it might cause injury in case of an accident.
Useful tip:
1. always plan ahead. Before starting your trip, turn on the device, complete all your
settings and choose your route. When you are in an unfamiliar area, you can play
a simulation of your chosen route first. Dock your device in the holder, connect your
charger and wait for the GPS signal reach acceptable level before moving your
vehicle.
2. do not mount your holder or placing your GPS where it may obstruct the driver’s
view. Preferably do place the GPS within the driver’s reach.
3. plug in the DC charger before you start your journey.
4. if you need to change any settings or operate the controls, we recommend you to
pull over to the side of the road before doing so.
5. always take note of the traffic and use the navigation voice guidance as reference
only. Obey all traffic rules and local regulations. If you temporarily loose your GPS

signal your GPS will automatically calculate another route when it picks up signal
again and will continue to guide you to your destination.
6. when going through a tunnel or are underground you will temporarily loose your
GPS signal. The GPS will attempt to continue to guide you without signal, and as
soon as you are in the open air again, it will automatically search for GPS signal
and get you back on track.
7. for safety reasons do not leave your GPS where it is subjected to strong direct
sunlight or in an unattended vehicle. Overheating the battery may cause damage
and danger. To protect against theft, always keep your GPS out of sight in an
unattended vehicle.
8. during a stopover turn off your GPS to help conserve your battery. When it is
turned back on again the navigation will automatically continue as soon as a GPS
signal is available.

TOUCH SCREEN CALIBRATION
As with many electronic devices eg. any PDA with a touch screen, sometimes your screen
just won’t respond to your taps, or you tap a certain button on the screen and it doesn’t
respond, or your screen doesn’t show any image at all – it’s just white with a black + in the
middle. Don’t worry – this is quite normal – it happens with all touch screens. To fix the
problem, you need to recalibrate your screen to realign the screen layers underneath.
To recalibrate, starting in the Device Main Menu screen, tap Settings, tap System, tap
Touch Screen
The Touch Screen Calibration screen appears as above - white with a black cross in the
middle. Using the stylus, press the center of the cross firmly to start calibrating. Follow
the cross as it jumps around the screen, pressing each time it stops. When the OK

button appears, tap the screen to save the calibration, and return to the main menu.
SETTING APPLICATION PATH

software from multiple locations. Your home map is usually preloaded on the internal
onboard memory (NANDflash) and your additional overseas maps are loaded on SD card

AV-IN / AUTO Reverse Camera
This feature is specifically designed for use with your in-car reversing camera.

so that every time you dock your GPS the charger and the reversing camera are both
connected.
Your camera can also be connected directly through
the AV-IN port on the main body of the GPS.
Your GPS will automatically display the contents
from the camera when a signal from the camera is available.
