Phone Power

. .
Powering your GPS-enabled cell phone with an optional cigarette lighter adapter
while using the phone for navigation provides three advantages:
•
Your phone's battery will be charged while you are using the phone for
navigation. GPS operation consumes power when in constant use, and so it
can drain batteries. If the phone is used for navigation over long hours – such
as an 8-hour work day – fully charged batteries can be completely drained.
•
The phone's back light will be constantly on while the phone is charging. A
back-lighted screen is easier to see even in daylight conditions. At night, a
back-lighted screen is absolutely essential when navigating.
Note: Since back lighting consumes battery power, it is best to use it with a
power adapter.
•
The GPS unit inside the device will provide the best location resolution
possible.
Power adapters for the i88s and i58sr phones can be purchased from resellers of
iDEN accessories, from Nextel (http://www.nextel.com) or Nextel dealers, or directly
from Motorola (http://www.idenstore.com).
The Motorola part number for an i88s/i58sr compatible vehicle battery charger is
SYN7818A. The chargers are also available in multiple translucent colors. Each
color has its own part number.
