Accessory Information

The MapSight comes with a number of standard essential or field accessories depending on the
model purchased. There are a variety of optional accessories or spare parts that can be purchased
to enhance you MapSight user experience.

Tripod

The MapSight low magnetic signature tripod has been tested to ensure that it does not cause
distortion to the in-built digital compass. For more information on use of the MapSight Tripod please
consult the material distributed with the MapSight Tripod and available on the MapSight website.

Batteries

MapSight batteries should only be charged in or with approved MapSight battery charging
accessories.
New batteries should always be charged in a MapSight unit to ensure optimal first-use calibration.
Additional information on MapSight batteries is available in the 'Battery Safety' section of this
document.
Should your MapSight battery not be reporting a correct charge level, please refer to the Battery
Recalibration instructions available from the Support section of the MapSight website.

Travel Charger

The Travel Charger is designed to be powered from either the standard MapSight AC Adaptor or
Vehicle Charger Cable.
It is recommended that new batteries not be charged in the Travel Charger as this will not correctly
set the optimal first-use calibration for a new battery. New batteries should be initially charged in a
MapSight unit. Subsequent charges can be completed in the Travel Charger.

External Patch Antenna

The External Patch Antenna provides an alternative reception GPS reception option to ensure a GPS
fix is maintained while the MapSight unit is travelling.
