1.5 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
CAUTION:
z Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device
where the driver’s field of vision is blocked. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear
view of the sky.
z If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna (optional) may
be needed to route the antenna to the top of the vehicle through a window. When closing
the window, be careful not to pinch the antenna cable.
Using the Cradle
Use the cradle and the stand to fix your device in a vehicle.
Connecting the Car Charger
The car charger supplies power and charges your device at the same time. If the
battery is fully charged, you can use the battery power without connecting the
charger. If you don’t want to drain the battery power, you can keep the car charger
connected while in a vehicle.
CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car charger
only after the car engine has been started.
