I. Getting Started
A. Charging/Re-charging your DashTrak
I-
You should charge your DashTrak for at least 2 hours before beginning the setup process.
1. Remove DashTrak and Wall Charging Unit from carton.
2. Plug the Charging Unit into a 110v outlet (make sure that if the outlet is controlled by a wall
switch, that the switch is turned ON).
3. Plug the USB connector end of the Charging Unit into the USB port of the DashTrak (see
Picture 1, page 4).
Note: It may take up to an hour for the display to become active during its initial charge or if the
battery has lost all of its power.
It is recommended that you re-charge your DashTrak using your Wall Charging Unit overnight at
least every other day (every day if you are continuously walking). After attaching the DashTrak
to the plugged in charger, the display should read DASHTRAK LOCKED-CHARGING. If the
display is blank, you should press the green Menu button. If the display remains blank, confirm
that there is power coming to the charger or computer. The DashTrak battery will also charge
while being attached to a powered on computer via the supplied USB cable. If you charge using
a PC/USB cable, the PC should just be powered on and the operating system NOT launched.
The preferred charge process is via the Wall Charging unit.
The DashTrak will display a Low Battery warning several times, along with a chime, when the
battery needs to be re-charged. Re-charge immediately to prevent any data loss. The Battery
Icon (see Picture 1, page 4) will also show a low level.
