CAUTION
The vehicle adapter is not intended to be used continuously. It is intended to provide a
convenient, temporary power source for powering and charging this computer while in transit in a vehicle. For
permanent installations, it is recommended that the (fused) vehicle charger adapter be wired directly to the
vehicle power supply. For additional information with regard to permanent installation of the Vehicle
Adapter, contact your sales representative.
3. The power light illuminates to indicate that current is reaching the vehicle adapter. When you connect the
vehicle adapter, it automatically begins charging the computer’s battery. At moderate temperatures, around
21°C (70ºF), the battery should charge from empty to 90% in less than three hours if the unit is suspended or
off. It should take less than four hours if the unit is in use. However, under extremely cold or hot
temperatures, it will take longer to charge the battery (up to 16 hours).
CAUTION
Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperatures for long periods. To prevent
possible damage to the battery, the GoBook VR-2 does not allow the battery to charge if the internal
temperature of the battery gets too low (< 5°C or < 41°F) or too high (> 50°C or > 122°F).

1. Locate the external monitor port on the back of your notebook.
2. Connect the video signal cable from the external monitor (or the VGA adapter) to this port.
3. Connect the power cable from the external monitor to a power outlet and turn on the monitor.
Read the monitor manual for additional instructions.
