Charging the Honda Portable Navigation System
You can charge the unit using the vehicle mount, connecting the USB cable to the unit and your
computer, or by connecting the AC adapter to the unit and a wall outlet.
Acquiring Satellites
Before the unit can find your current location and navigate a route, you must do the following:
1. Go outdoors to an open area, away from tall buildings and trees.
2. Flip up the GPS antenna on the back of the unit, so that it is parallel to the ground.
3. Turn on the Honda Portable Navigation System.
Acquiring satellite signals can take a few minutes. The
bars indicate satellite strength.
Note: The first time the Honda Portable Navigation System acquires satellites (or if
the unit has moved hundreds of miles since last acquiring satellites) it may take
several minutes. Afterward, acquisition times are quicker during normal use.
