2.2 Battery Installation:
Before you can begin to explore the features and
operational characteristics of the NavTalk, you
must first install the NiMH Battery Pack and
charge it for 14 to 16 hours (Trickle Charger).
1. Make certain the Battery Pack is securely in place
in the cavity on the back of the NavTalk by aligning
the two tabs of the base of the battery pack with
the two small slots at the base of the cavity. Press
the top portion of the battery pack in place until it
clicks into position.
2. Place the plug end of the charger assembly into
the power connection slot at the bottom of the
NavTalk, (the plug is indexed to fit only in one
direction). Insert the transformer portion of
the charger into a 120 VAC wall outlet.
3. Allow 14 to 16 hours for the initial charging of the
Battery Pack. NiMH batteries require conditioning
during the first charging to establish maximum
charge capacity.
4. To determine if the battery pack has been fully
charged, turn on the NavTalk and observe the bat-
tery icon in the status bar at the bottom of the dis-
play. The battery symbol should show solid black
when fully charged.
5. Indications that the battery pack requires
recharging are: the battery status symbol will
appear “empty”, a “Low Battery” message will
appear and a short intermittent warning tone will
be heard. If no image appears on the screen when
the power button is pressed, the battery may be
fully discharged or the contrast is set too light.
