Introduction
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing your new WayPoint PDA (Personal
Digital Assistant L
A PDA is a small
computer that fits in
the palm of your
hand.
L
PIM functions are
programs that keep
track of things such
as an address book or
your calendar.
L
A GPS is a radio re-
ceiver that can com-
pute your position
anywhere on the
planet.
). You now have the convenience and flexibility of a
Portable Navigation tool and full-featured personal digital assistant,
enabling you to automatically route to places of interest, addresses or
locations in your contact list. In addition, you can use PIM (Personal
Information Manager) functions to keep track of information wherever
you go. Powered by Microsoft®Pocket PC 2003Premium Edition, your
WayPoint PDA offers a host of functions designed to make your life
easier.
The WayPoint navigation PDA is a full-featured GPS auto-routing
mapping solution that offers door-to-door routing with turn-by-turn
instructions. (To read about how your GPS works check “Advanced
Topics” on page 92.) The WayPoint PDA uses GPS position
information and maps to help the user decide on the best route to travel.
The WayPoint navigation software includes the full maps for one region.
For example, the California edition contains maps covering all of
California. Unlike most other products the maps of your region are
preloaded. Extra regions may be purchased to supplement or replace the
built in maps.
The WayPoint PDA is available in two models which can be distinguished by color. The model
100 is Space Silver and the model 200 is Midnight Blue. They differ primarily in the GPS
hardware capability as described below. The model 200 also includes a subscription to
TrafficWatch and Weather Underground for one year. (TrafficWatch and Weather Underground
are described in separate manuals.)

needed.
•The WayPoint 200 model uses Bluetooth®technology in
conjunction with a Bluetooth GPS. The Bluetooth CF card
onboard will communicate with the included Bluetooth GPS
receiver which is in a separate package. The Bluetooth CF
module can also be used for other communication tasks such as
connecting to the Internet via a cell phone. The Bluetooth
module should be shut off when not needed to save battery
power.
The WayPoint PDA can be installed in a car using the provided portable vehicle mount. Theuser
should choose a convenient spot on the windshield, left or right of the steering wheel to attach
the suction cup. Be sure the unit is not blocking any of the view of the road.
When driving, always use the vehicle mount so that you can maximize the performance settings
without worrying about running the battery down. The power cable can be routed to the unit
from the 12 Volt “cigarette lighter” power outlet and plugged into the base of the WayPoint
vehicle mount. A small adapter cable connects the vehicle mount to the PDA unit.
No part of the hardware should be installed in front of either front airbag. Detailed installation is
given in “Getting Started” on page 7 or the Quick Start Guide. For security, the PDA should not
be left in an unattended car.
Caring For Your WayPoint PDA
Routine Care
To keep your WayPoint working properly, please follow these guidelines.

•Avoid using or storing the product in places where static electricity or electrical noise is
likely to be present.
•Avoid using or storing the product in direct sunlight, or in places that are subject to

backup battery should be performed by a Mobile Crossing authorized service provider.
•The unit can be placed in the cradle charger at any time. The battery works best when it
is topped off.
•The vehicle mount window suction cup will attach solidly to the windshield, but it is still
not a good idea to leave the WayPoint unit in the vehicle mount un-attended for long
periods of time. This is particularly true if the vehicle undergoes wide temperature
changes.
AC Adapter Care
•Always use the AC adapter provided, or use an optional adapter supplied or approved
by Mobile Crossing.
•Grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging the adapter from a wall socket.
•If the power cord becomes damaged, replace it immediately.

the AC adapter before unplugging it from awall socket.
Display Care

do not use soap or other cleaning products.
•Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen. Prevent excess liquid from leaking into the
device at the edge of the screen.
•Never place anything on the screen.
•Avoid scratching the screen with hard objects.

similar packaging with sufficient protective padding material. Nothing should be permitted to

Using this Manual
Many of you do read manuals and this one is organized to be read from front to back. It also
contains an index for ready reference later. There is a glossary near the back for terms you might
not be familiar with. Many of these terms are also described in a sidebar.
However, it is recognized that some may only wish to skim the manual or are very familiar with
some aspects and may choose to skip over those sections at first. This can be a very useful way to
get going quickly but at some point it would be a good idea to return to those sections as they
cover some unique features in the product.

CD-ROM that accompanies the WayPoint PDA. The PDF version is pre-tagged so that it will
read well on the small screen. There are links in all the critical places so you can just tap a link to
move around in the document. You will need to download a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader for
the Pocket PC to use this feature on the WayPoint.
