WARNING!
A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD
TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.
CAUTION
When showing turn-by-turn navigation data, a GPS unit will show the
shortest, most direct route to the destination. There are times when it may
give directions, such as a U-turn, that may be prohibited in some loca-
tions. While navigating, a driver is responsible for noting all traffic signs
and obeying all local traffic laws. When following turn-by-turn directions,
a driver must take advantage of all available navigation tools, and must
visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the next destination is
available.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter information into
this unit while driving. Driver assumes all responsibility for
using safe and prudent driving and navigation methods. When
a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely
responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Vehicle
operators must maintain full surveillance of all pertinent driv-
ing conditions at all times. An accident or collision resulting in
damage to property, personal injury or death could occur if the
operator of a GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention
to travel conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is
in motion. Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter infor-
mation into your GPS unit while driving.

Reset button: If the unit is not responding, use the Reset button located
on the right side of the unit. Use the tip of a pen or something pointed
to firmly press the Reset button recessed in the hole. Pressing the Re-
set button will force the unit to power off so it can be restarted.
Headphone socket: Used to connect headphones. Listening to music or
turn-by-turn instructions with headphones can seriously impede your
ability to drive. Check local laws before using headphones.
USB-to-PC/External power socket: The unit operates on an internal re-
chargeable battery. When the external power cable is connected the
unit draws power directly through the power cable and recharges the
battery. The unit also comes with a USB-to-PC cable. The XOG acts
like a removable disk drive when connected to a computer. The USB
cable is used to transfer files from a computer to the SD card. Addi-
tional SD cards will be needed to store music, picture and GPS files.
The external power
cable (top left) is
used to power the
unit in a vehicle. The
USB-to-PC cable
(bottom left) is used
to transfer data from
a computer to the
XOG's SD card.

Portable Battery Charger
With a full charge, the internal battery will power the unit for approximately
2.5 hours. To extend battery time, try turning down the backlight. You can also
save power by turning off the satellite receiver from the Satellites screen. See
the topic Enable-Disable GPS on page 34.
An external power pack can be used to recharge the unit. There are two main
types of external power packs. One runs on replaceable AA batteries. The other
contains a built-in rechargeable battery. The external power pack must have a
USB connection and output 5 volts. In the case of replaceable AA types, the
power pack must hold 4 AA batteries.
