
GPSsatellitesignalscannotpassthroughsolidmaterialswiththeexceptionofglass.When
travellingthroughtunnelsorinsidebuildings,suchasparkingstations,GPSpositioningisnot
available.ThetimetakenfortheNavig8rtore‐acquiresatellitesignalswhenemergingfromtunnels
orbuildingsmayvaryandwilldependonatmosphericconditionsandtheenvironment.

AminimumoffourGPSsatellitesignalsisrequiredtodeterminetheNavig8rscurrentlocation.

Pleasecheckthecontentsofthepackagingandensurethatallequipmentislocatedandidentified.
Theprotectivescreencovermaybeleftonthedevicebutmayimpedetheviewingofthedevicein
normaloperation.

ConnecttheNavig8rGPSunittopowersourceforaperiodof24hoursinthefirstinstancetocharge
andconditionthebattery.Itmaytakeseveralcharge/dischargecyclesforthedevicetoreachpeak
endurance.Thechargingprocesswilltakelongerifthedeviceisturnedon.

Subsequentchargingshouldtakelesstimetocomplete.

ThisGPScanonlybechargedfromthePCUSBportwhentheNavig8risturnedOFF.

OncetheinitialchargehasbeencompletedturntheGPSdeviceon.TheNavig8rshouldlaunchthe
Navigationsoftware.

ToturnthedeviceoffforshortperiodssimplyremovetheNavig8rfromitspowersupply(orturn
theignitionoff).IfthenavigationsoftwareisrunningtheNavig8rwilldetectthepoweroffandplace
itselfinsleepmode.WhenthepoweristurnedbackonagaintheNavig8rwillstartatthelastscreen

CONNECTINGTHECARCHARGER
IfnooptionisselectedtheNavig8rwillturnoffafter15seconds.

PriortousingtheGPSsystemforthefirsttime,itisrecommendedthatthetouchscreenbe
calibrated.Pleaseseethesystemsettinginstructionsfurtheroninthismanual.
MountingtheGPSUnitinYourVehicle
FitthewindscreenmounttotheholderwhichyouhaveattachedtotherearoftheGPSunitandtest
mounttheGPSonthewindscreenofthecar.Chooseapositionthatwillnotobstructyourvision
whilstdrivingbutwillalsoprovidetheGPSunitthebestcoverageoftheskythroughthewindscreen.
Loosenthetwoknobsonthemounttoallowmovementofthepivotpoints.

TheNavig8rshouldonlybefittedonfixedwindows.

Oncethebestlocationhasbeendetermined,removetheprotectivefilmfromthesuctioncapofthe
windscreenmountand,oncleanglass,fitfirmlyagainstthewindscreen.Pushthetablocatedonthe
topofthesuctioncuptowardsthewindscreenuntilitlocksinplace.Forbestresultsitis
recommendedthatthesuctioncupbemoistenedbeforefitting.

InanormaldrivingpositionadjusttheGPStoapositionthatwillbeinviewwhilstdrivinganddoes
notobstructyourviewoftheroad.Oncethecorrectpositionhasbeenfoundtightenthetwoknobs
onthemounttopreventtheGPSmovingfromvibration.Donotovertightentheseknobs.

Changesintemperaturesandcondensationmaycausethesuctioncuptobecomelooseandshould
becheckedonaregularbasis.Toavoiddamageortheft,theGPSshouldnotbeleftonthe
windscreenmountovernight.

Toremovethemountfromthewindscreen,takeholdofthemountinonehandandusetheother
topullthetabawayfromthemount.Locatetheplastictabonthesideofthesuctioncupandgently
pullawayfromthewindscreentobreaktheseal.

N.B:TintedwindowsmayimpedetheNavig8rsabilitytodetecttheGPSsatellitescorrectly.

ConnectingtheCarCharger
Caution:ToprotecttheGPSagainstthepossibilityofdamagecausedbypowersurgeswhenthe
vehicleisstarted,thechargershouldnotbeconnectedtotheGPSdevicewhenthevehicleisstarted.

Thecarchargersuppliespowertothedevicewhenitisbeingusedinthevehicle.

ConnecttheUSBplugtotheUSBsocketoftheGPSandthenfittheotherendintothe
