1.3.2 Battery
The GPS-PAD comes with a built-in polymer rechargeable battery and is designed to use only
manufacture-specified original batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on many
factors, including network configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment in
which you operate the GPS-PAD, the features and/or settings you select and use, items attached to
connecting ports, and the voice, data, and other program usage patterns.
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before turning on and start using the GPS-PAD, it
is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full
charge/discharge circles.
1. Attach the power plug to theAC adapter.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port on the GPS-PAD.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port of the AC adapter.
4. Plug in theAC adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED (located on the left side of the front panel)
shows a solid red light. When the GPS-PAD is fully charged, the light turns green.
When you charge the battery while the GPS-PAD is on, the charging battery icon ( ) is
displayed in the status bar of the home screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full
battery icon ( ) will be displayed in the status bar of the home screen.
