Recharging the Batteries

Insert a power adapter into an electrical outlet and connect its power jack to the socket on the rear of the charging stand. Simply placing the Bluetooth GPS receiver into the charging stand will begin the charging process. The LED on the front of the charging stand serves as a charge indicator. Approximately 3-4 hours are required to fully charge the batteries. Remember to turn your Bluetooth GPS receiver OFF before placing it into the charging stand. Please note that while the receiver is charging, regardless of the method, there is no indicator of the charging on the actual receiver.

When you begin charging, the red light will display on your cradle. In addition, the red light that turns on when you are charging does not turn off when you have finished charging. So long as your receiver is connected to the charger, this red light will remain on. A full recharge of your receiver generally takes about two hours. In order to ensure that your unit is fully charged, leave the GPS receiver in the cradle overnight.

Caution: The charging stand in your kit is intended for use with rechargeable batteries. Do not attempt to recharge any other batteries with the charging stand. Doing so may cause the batteries to leak or explode, thus damaging your receiver.

Note: If you have 2000mAh batteries in AAA in size and they are NiMH, then the supplied charger can handle them, even though this process will take a longer time (to fully charge). If they are not NiMH batteries, then we do not recommend charging them on the supplied charger.
