capacity (1000 mA/h), which approximately takes 3-5 hours. During this time the
NAVI-XS can also be used.
Keeping the cable charger plugged to the equipment, when the batteries are fully
charged, does not damage the batteries. To optimise batteries capacity, you should
allow the batteries to discharge them fully. If you do not intend to use your NAVI-XS
for several days, we recommend to remove both batteries.
The NAVI-XS can also operate without the need of the internal batteries. However, it
must be always connected via one of the cable charger (available upon request,
see chapter
) to an external power source during the operation. Keep in mind the
validity of GPS data stored in SRAM is no more available if the internal batteries of
the NAVI-XS are removed and it is disconnected from the external power source.
That means, the NAVI-XS always performs a cold start after each power on
procedure.
4.3.3.1.1
Safety precautions while charging the batteries
Be sure to follow the rules listed below while charging the batteries. Failure to do so
may cause the batteries to become hot, rupture, or ignite and cause serious injury.
•
When charging the batteries, either use one of the aforementioned battery
chargers or otherwise insure that the batteries charging conditions specified
by Falcom are met.
•
Do not attach the NAVI-XS to a power supply plug or directly to a car’s
cigarette lighter (an adapter cable has to be used).
•
Do not place the NAVI-XS into direct sunlight.
•
The temperature range over which the batteries can be charged is 0°C
to 45°C. Charging the batteries at temperatures outside this range may
cause the batteries to become hot or to break. Charging the batteries
outside this temperature range may also harm the performance of the
batteries or reduce the life expectancy of the batteries.
•
Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries
•
If the NAVI-XS is powered by non-rechargeable batteries (-AAA type),
please, do not attempt to charge them.
•
If both fully charged batteries are discharged differently, i.e., different
State-of-Charge, you should recharge them separately using a separate
charger.
4.3.3.1.2 Safety precautions while discharging the batteries
Do not discharge the batteries using any other device except for the Falcom
NAVI-XS. The temperature range over which the batteries can be discharged is -
20°C to 60°C. Use of the batteries outside this temperature range may damage its
performance or may reduce its life expectancy.
