Charging the Unit

To charge the unit, connect either the AC or DC power adapter. The battery light will

illuminate and will take approximately 3 hours to charge. When the battery is fully

charged, the red LED will turn off. Once fully charged the battery will last for

receiving GPS signals. When you first start the navigation application, there may be a

small delay in finding your GPS position and showing your current location correctly on

the map.

If the navigation application does not locate your position correctly on the map, there

may be an external factor interfering with the GPS signal. Please see USER INFORMATION

AND PRECAUTIONS section for further information on GPS.

Lane Guidance

Lane Guidance helps you safely prepare for your next maneuver by displaying the

correct lane(s) to stay in.

Lane Guidance appears below the Next Street Name box. The highlighted white arrow

indicates the correct lane(s) to be in. In the example below, there is one highlighted

lane turning right; this is the correct lane to stay in for the upcoming maneuver. The

other three grey lanes are going straight.

Signposts

Signposts provide a realistic representation of actual signposts at complex highway

junctions. As you approach a highway junction, the signpost displays route shields, route

directions, locality, exit, and lane information.

The Signpost replaces the normal Next street name box at some junctions. The

highlighted shield with white arrows indicates the correct lane(s) to be in. In the

example above, there are three lanes with white arrows indicating that you should

keep left; these are the correct lanes to stay in for the upcoming maneuver. The other

two grey lanes on the greyed-out sign (on right) are exiting the highway. Please be

aware that Signposts are available for some, but not all highway junctions.

Junction View

Junction View, like Signposts, provides a realistic representation of the highway as you

approach the junction. The Junction View displays the highway lanes, shields, directions,

and lane information in a split mode view.

Junction View may be turned on or off in the Display Settings.

the ‘Fuel Economy Guide’ at www.fueleconomy.gov. This guide is published by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It

contains an extensive listing of most vehicle makes and models.

Vehicle consumption is typically expressed as two fuel economy estimates:

• City: represents urban driving and driving in stop and-go rush hour traffic.

City driving typically consumes more fuel than highway driving.

61 | P a g e 8 5 0 0 P R O H D U s e r M a n u a l

• Highway: represents driving on a mixture of rural and interstate highway

driving, typical of longer trips in free-flowing traffic.

Please be aware that the actual fuel cost may vary according to other factors which

affect the fuel consumption; for example, driver behavior, driving conditions, vehicle

maintenance, fuel characteristics, and weather. The cost estimate is an approximation

of fuel costs only. Other costs, such as Toll charges are not included in the calculation.
