1.3 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
Using the Device Holder
CAUTION:
When placing the device holder, make sure that the device does not obstruct the driver's
view, or interfere with the operation of vehicle airbags and safety devices.
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 car through a window.
Use the device holder to fix your device in a vehicle. (See a separate document
for installation instructions.) Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear view of
the sky.
Connecting the In-Car Charger
The in-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 in-car
charger connected while in a vehicle.
CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the in-car
charger only after the car engine has been started.
Connect one end of the in-car charger to the mini-USB connector of your device
and the other end to the cigarette lighter in the car.
