3. Installing the 7700 Pro using the Windshield Suction Cup bracket
You can mount your 7700 Pro to the inside of your vehicles windshield using the
windshield bracket provided.
●
Clean the area where you wish to position the bracket
thoroughly with a high quality glass cleaner. This
allows a more secure seal on the windshield.
●
Assemble the suction cup bracket. Slide the mount
clip onto the end of the suction cup arm and tighten
both plastic nuts.
●
Place the suction cup and bracket on the windshield
and push the locking lever towards the
windshield to secure the bracket.
●
Adjust the angle of the bracket so that when the
unit is attached to it you can view the display and
operate the controls safely.
●
Position the 7700 Pro onto the bracket, by clipping
it on it as indicated. Remove the 7700 Pro by pulling
the tab and sliding the unit upwards and off
the bracket.
NOTE: Only use the cigarette lighter power cable provided with the 7700 Pro.
Using any other cigarette lighter power cable could damage your device and void
the warranty.
NOTE: Mounting your 7700 Pro in close proximity to a CB radio may interfere with
GPS reception. Should you encounter such interference, position your 7700 Pro as
far away from your CB radio as possible.
Operating Instructions
1. Starting Up
Once the battery is fully charged, it is time to perform the first Start Up.
●
First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall
trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.
●
Next, make sure the Battery ON/OFF switch located on the back of the unit to the ‘ON’
position. Press and hold the standby power switch on the top right side of the unit for
2 seconds.
●
While the 7700 Pro software is loading, a start-up display will be shown for just a
few seconds and then an ‘Information Screen’ will be displayed. Press the ‘I Agree’
button and the screen will display a section of a map.
●
The 7700 Pro needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this
has been achieved, the unit will ascertain your position and display a green arrow icon
on the on-screen map. The GPS signal strength will be shown to the bottom right hand
corner of the display. Your 7700 Pro is now ready to navigate.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first ‘Cold’ start
could take anywhere from 15 – 50 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once
initialized, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only
a matter of minutes.
