Getting Started
The cradle may also be used to charge a spare battery that is not installed in your WayPoint
tm
PDA. To charge a spare battery, place the battery in the battery bay after the USB cradle has been
connected to AC power.
Using Vehicle DC Power
The vehicle mount consists of a powered cradle that houses the external speaker and holds the
PDA as well as a gooseneck connector attached to a windshield suction cup. External power is
brought to the mount with the supplied power cable. In the WayPoint 100 and 200 the mount
supplies power to the WayPoint PDA though a short cable that plugs into the power/
communication port on the bottom of the unit.
Use DC external power when the WayPoint PDA is in your vehicle. This can be supplied from a
power (cigarette lighter) outlet via the vehicle PDA mount. Plugging the unit into the mount and
hooking up the connector will pick up the power connection from the mount. The vehicle
mount will keep the unit fully charged.
WAYPOINT 100 GPS POWER
The GPS derives its power from the PDA itself so as long as power is applied to the PDA the
GPS will run. If the power is unplugged the PDA will continue to power the GPS from its
battery.
WAYPOINT 200 BLUETOOTH GPS POWER
The WayPoint 200 Bluetooth GPS receiver can also be plugged into the vehicle PDA mount at
the side of the mount to obtain external power. This allows unlimited use of the GPS receiver,
but does require a wire between the two units. Some users may prefer fully wireless GPS
operation with the DC power cable serving as a backup when the GPS battery is low. The power
cable will permit GPS operation while simultaneously charging the unit.
USB Charging
The batteries in your WayPoint PDA can be charged using a USB connection to a PC, even
though the device itself is not connected to the AC power supply. However, charging the unit in
this way is only effective when the unit itself is powered off and will take much more time. There
are two ways of making a USB connection to a PC:
1. You can make a direct cable connection from the WayPoint PDA, using the supplied
travel adapter
2. You can use the USB cradle.
