and losing memory settings.
• Keep the unit plugged into your
vehicle while changing the battery
to avoid losing memory settings.
• Since not all vehicles supply con-
stant power to the lighter socket,
a battery must be in the unit at all
times to retain memory settings.
• Unit shuts off automatically about
10 minutes after the last detected
change in magnetic field. During
night use, a built-in light sensor
automatically switches on the screen
backlight (disabled when the unit is
operating on its battery alone).
Step 3: Install the temperature
sensor.
Mount the sensor inside for monitor-
ing interior temperatures or outside
for exterior temperatures (required for
ICE alert feature). If used inside, place
the sensor in a natural airflow, out of
direct sunlight, and not in the direct
outflow of a vent. For exterior use,
select a ventilated location outside the
passenger compartment, such as the
grill area or doorjamb (away from
sunlight and engine heat).
Making sure the surface is free of dirt,
use the peel-and-stick pad to adhere
the sensor. Mount to a less heat-con-
ductive plastic or rubber component
instead of to a steel body part. (As all
vehicles are different, you may need
to experiment to find the best site.)
Use the included retainer clips to
secure the sensor cable to the wind-
shield or dashboard. Plug the sensor
connector into the jack marked
“TEMP” on the back of the compass.
Note:
A longer 30-foot temperature
sensor is available (see
Optional
Accessories
on page 8).
Note:
Do not leave the Wayfinder
V2000 in a parked vehicle that is
likely to be exposed to extremely hot
or cold temperatures.
