2 - Using the GPS850
Charging the GPS850
Your new GPS850N will need to be charged for at least 4 hours prior to first use. This will
condition the battery and prolong battery life.
To charge the battery:
-Switch the battery switch on the bottom of the unit to the on position.
-Connect the charger cable to the charger connector in the left side of the unit.
NOTE: To ensure a constant charge, for the first charge you should use the 240V AC home
charger.
Turning the GPS850N on
Use the power switch on the left top of the unit to turn your GPS850N on and off. If the device
does not turn on, ensure that the battery switch on the bottom is turned on and that the charger
is connected.
Calibrating the touch screen
When you first turn on the GPS850N, or whenever you switch off the battery switch on the
bottom of the device, you will see the following touch screen calibration display.
To calibrate the touch screen, carefully press on the centre of the black cross with your finger or
blunt pencil. The cross will move from the centre of the screen to the top left corner. Keep
pressing on the cross as it moves around the screen until calibration screen closes. If you find
that the process is repeating over and over, try using a stylus or blunt pencil to tap the cross
rather than a finger. It is not recommended to use a pen on the touch screen as this may mark
the surface and be difficult to erase.
WARNING: Never use a sharp object on the touch screen as you may cause irreparable damage.

Installing the GPS850N in your car
Please note that the device must be mounted in the vehicle such that is does not interfere with
the driver’s view or operation of the vehicle’s controls. The device must also not be mounted in
the deployment area of the vehicle’s airbags (if fitted). This device must be installed in
accordance with all applicable local laws.
Item Description
1 Cradle Tabs Used to connect cradle to suction mount bracket.
2 Left-Right Adjustment
Screw Loosen to allow left and right angle adjustment of suction mount bracket. Tighten once angle is correct.
3 Up-Down Adjustment
Screw Loosen to allow up and down angle adjustment of suction mount bracket. Tighten once angle is correct.
4 Suction Mount Lever Use to fix / release the suction mount from the
windscreen.
5 Suction Cup Mounts against windscreen. Ensure both suction cup
and windscreen are clean before mounting.
6 Cradle Holds the GPS850N device. Connects to bracket via the
tabs.
7 Dash Mounting Plate For use when windscreen mounting is not an option.
Adhesive sticks the plate to the dashboard then suction
cup can be mounted to the plate.
1. To assemble your car holder kit first attach the cradle to the suction-mount bracket. To
complete this start by orientating the bracket such that the lever at the base is facing
downwards. Place the cradle onto the bracket ensuring that the two tabs on the bracket
align with the holes in the cradle. Slide the cradle downwards until it is securely in place.
2. Place the car holder kit in a suitable location on your windscreen ensuring that the lever
at the base of the bracket is switched such that it is away from the glass. The area of the
windscreen where the bracket is to be mounted should be cleaned with an alcohol based
cleaner prior to attaching the bracket. The best location for the device is usually at the
bottom of the windscreen in the centre of the vehicle.
3. Whilst firmly pressing the bracket against the glass, push the lever back into place
against the base of the bracket. Once fitted, pull gently on the bracket to check that the
suction mount is secure.

4. Before attaching the GPS850N device into the cradle, ensure that the battery switch is
turned on. Position the bottom of the GPS850N first by aligning the tabs on the cradle
with the holes in the device, then tilt the top of the GPS850N back into position (B). Pull
gently on the top clip of the cradle until it clicks into place. With the device in place,
adjust the bracket to adjust the position of the GPS850N so that you can see the screen
comfortably. Loosen the screws on the bracket to make any adjustments and tighten
them securely once finished.
5. Connect the supplied car charger cable to the Charger connector on the left side of the
GPS850N and plug the other end of the cable into the cigarette lighter socket in the car.
Use the power button on the top of the GPS850N to turn the device on.
The first time you turn on your navigation device it may take up to 10 or 15 minutes to acquire
reliable GPS signal. Obstacles such as car ports, bridges, tunnels, and buildings will affect the
navigation device’s ability to obtain an accurate signal. Do not be alarmed if the map displays
your current location in another city when you first turn the unit on, your position will be
automatically updated once reliable GPS signal is acquired. It is best to move your vehicle to a
clear and open area free from obstacles that may hinder the GPS performance, and then remain
stationary until the GPS has acquired your current position. If the vehicle is moving whilst the
GPS is trying to acquire a signal, the acquisition time may be significantly increased.
Your Voxtrack GPS850N is now ready for use! Please read the instructions regarding navigation
software to learn more about using your GPS.
CAUTION: Do not leave the device mounted in your car when parked. Exposure to extreme heat
may cause damage. Simply disconnect the charger and remove the device from the cradle. You
may choose to leave the mounting system in place on the windscreen for easy installation when
you return to your vehicle. Removing the device from view will also reduce the risk of theft.
