Attach Screen Cover

• Your screen cover is separate from your GPS unit.

• To attach your screen cover, please remove the plastic film on both sides and refer to the Screen Cover User Guide provided in the box.

• Replaceable screen covers can be purchased from our online store.

• Blue/grey blemishes may develop between the inside of the screen cover and main display window. This is caused by contact between the screens, and easily cleared by removing and refitting the screen cover.

Battery Options & Battery Back

We recommend using the rechargeable Lithium Polymer (LiPol) battery in your Active 12 as this offers the best performance and is cost effective long term. If using AA batteries, Lithium cells have a longer battery life than alkaline AAs. Both types of batteries can be purchased from our online store.

• Remove the battery back to insert batteries. Lift the metal D-ring and rotate it counter-clockwise to an unlocked position. (You may need to press down gently to turn it). Lift the back off. Avoid forcing the D-Ring.

• Insert a LiPol battery by first removing the battery caddy with a flat head screwdriver. The LiPol comes 75% pre-charged and takes 12 hours to fully charge. Alternatively use the battery caddy for AA batteries.

• To close the battery back, insert the tab on the base into the unit. To lock, rotate the metal D-ring clockwise.

Switch On & Acquire a Lock

• Hold down the long button on the top right of the unit to power on. This may take a minute,or so, as the software fully boots up. Please Power Button location below.

• Select your language and then set a User Name (which is needed for Bluetooth).

• To acquire a satellite lock, the GPS should be under open skies, immobile and held upright. When a lock has been acquired, the top left signal icon will change from a red ‘x’ to green or blue crescents, depending on the signal.

• Select the correct time zone by using the Page Forward button to go to MAIN MENU screen → Settings → Time Offset. You will need to change the time in relation to UTC (GMT) (e.g. + 1 hour for UK Summer Time).

Insert Satmap MapCard

• Maps are supplied on SD cards.

• Open the seal on the top left of the unit. The seal opens from the top, furthest from the buttons. Insert the map card with the image facing upwards. Make sure the seal is closed securely before continuing.

• When a map card has been inserted the unit beeps and a Map Packs screen appears (showing you the map title page). Very large maps may take a short while.

• Joystick right to see other MapPacks that may be loaded on the SD MapCard.

• Either select View Map to go to the PLANNING screen, or Back to go back to the screen you were on.
