[. . . ] During the charging time the indicator LED (labelled BAT) on the top side of NAVI-1 lights green (if the equipment is switched off). Charging will be terminated after the battery reached full capacity (4. 2V/700 mAh) which approximately takes 2-3 hours. During this time the NAVI-1 can also be used, but note that, the battery's capacity has to be higher then 3. 8 V. Keeping the cable charger plugged to the equipment when the battery is fully charged does not damage the battery, but it is recommended to unplug from the power source. To optimise battery capacity, you should allow the battery to fully discharge every now and then. If you do not intend to use your NAVI-1 for several days, we recommend you to disconnect it from the battery. The NAVI-1 can also be used while it is on charge. New feature for NAVI-XT, only The NAVI-XT can also operate without the need of the internal battery. However, it must be always connected via one of the cable charger (available upon request, see chapter 0. 2) to an external power source during the operation. Keep in mind the validity of GPS data stored in SRAM is no more available if the internal battery of the NAVI-XT is removed and it is disconnected from the external power source. That means, the NAVI-XT allways performs a cold start after each power on procedure. 4. 3. 5. 1 Safety precautions while charging the battery Be sure to follow the rules listed below while charging the battery. Failure to do so may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite and cause serious injury. · When charging the battery, either use one of the aforementioned battery charger or otherwise insure that the battery charging conditions specified by Falcom are met. · Do not attach the NAVI-1 to a power supply plug or directly to a car's cigarette lighter (an adapter cable has to be used).

When the battery becomes hot, the built-in safety equipment is activated, preventing the battery from charging further, and heating the battery can destroy the safety equipment and can cause additional heating, breaking, or ignition of the battery. · The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 0°C to 45°C. Charging the battery at temperatures outside of this range may cause the battery to become hot or to break. Charging the battery outside of this temperature range may also harm the performance of the battery or reduce the battery's life expectancy. 4. 3. 5. 2 Safety precautions while discharging the battery Do not discharge the battery using any other device except for the Falcom NAVI-1. The temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is -20°C to 60°C. Use of the battery outside of this temperature range may damage the performance of the battery or may reduce its life expectancy.

Page 18 NAVI-1/NAVI-XT VERSION 1. 06 5 Operation Guide Before using the NAVI-1, make sure to prepare the following items: GPS software is properly installed on your BluetoothTM-enabled device (PC, laptop, Pocked PC, or other handheld devices). The BluetoothTM GPS Receiver is fully powered (i. e. [. . . ] Determine which COM port number your BluetoothTM device uses for serial COM port connections (in our example is COM 7). The FALCOM NAVI-1 communicates to a BluetoothTM serial port with following settings: up to 115200 bps, 8 Data Bits, NONE parity, 1 Stop Bit. Depending on the device you use for BluetoothTM connectivity, you may or may not need to modify the COM port setting. If necessary, refer to the user documentation of your BluetoothTM device. [. . . ]
