4.3.3 Power jack

In order to recharge the internal batteries, the Ø 3,5 mm power jack allows you to
connect either a car adapter cable (KA-NAVI-XS-PS) or a power charger (PS-003) to
a DC electrical outlet. Both accessories are available upon request (refer to the
chapter

Your NAVI-XS is powered by two rechargeable batteries (included), an alarm will
warn you when the batteries reach the low level.
IF YOU ARE USING OTHER NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
Once both batteries are clipped in the NAVI-XS, plug one of the cable charger (not
supplied with NAVI-XS, however, available upon request, see chapter 0.2), into the
corresponding power jack interface of NAVI-XS. Then plug the transformer unit into a
main AC power socket or vehicle power outlet (it depend on the purchased cable
charger, see chapter 0.2) with easy access. As far as the temperature limits is
recognised, please refer to the table 3 in chapter
The extreme temperatures have an unfavourable influence on the rechargeable
batteries. The capacity and life cycle of the batteries are reduced if they are kept at
cold or warm places, e.g. in a closed car at summer or winter conditions. Try always
to keep the included batteries at normal temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. The
GPS receiver with too cold or too warm batteries does not temporarily operate
sometimes, even if the batteries are completely charged. Especially, the
achievement of batteries is strongly reduced at temperatures under the freezing
point.
