To ensure the most effective way the unit searches for a satellite signal, hold the unit face up toward the open sky. Move away from tall buildings, trees or overhead obstructions. Why does the arrow point toward metal buildings or power lines when my location is not in that direction? The digital compass may be affected by large metal objects, such as buildings with metal, power lines, and steel bridges. Move away from these types of objects when using this unit. Why does the Red light (LED) blink and the unit go to Sleep when I am navigating back to my location? The red light blinks when the unit is not traveling in arrow's general direction then goes to Sleep in approximately 2 minutes. Press the return button (e3) to wake from Sleep and then the return button (e3) to continue your navigation. HINT: If you don't want the unit to go to Sleep while going around an obstacle to get to your location, rotate the unit in your hand so that the directional arrow points to the 12 o'clock position. How long does it take to charge the battery? It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery. How long does the charge last? The charge lasts 10 hours during active tracking or 16 days on standby. How can I tell if the battery is low? The unit's LCD displays a battery strength indicator (d2). When the black bars across the battery strength indicator (d2) are at 25% or less, it is recommended to recharge the battery. The battery strength indicator (d2) is on the active LCD screen in every mode, except when you are viewing GPS information ( latitude, longitude, and satellite signals). Page 10 10/12 128-8854
