Battery Installation and Charging
The unit is powered by a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery located on
the back of the unit. The battery does not require removal from the unit
for recharging. Charging at “Start Up” may require up to three hours. The
battery is already installed on the unit, but must be removed in order to
remove the insulating strip from the contacts on the battery which prevents
complete discharge of the battery during shipping.
Battery Installation/Removal
1. Turn the unit over and use your index fi nger to depress the tab in the
slot on the back of the unit to release the battery.
2. Pull the battery away from the unit and then remove the insulating strip
from the electrical contacts on the battery. Discard the strip.
3. Reinstall the battery on the back of the unit.
Charging the Battery
1. With the battery in place and the insulating strip removed from the
contacts, connect the charger (supplied with the unit) to the connector
on the base of the unit.
2. Then, connect the charger power input to an appropriate power source,
power point, etc. The unit will display a “Charging” message.
3. Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours for the initial charge and somewhat
less time for recharging thereafter. The message will change to indicate
that charging is complete.
4. The NavTalk can be operated while connected to the charger.
