USB cable for charging
Charging Battery
It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the internal battery. First
connect the USB cable mini-USB connector to the USB port of the
miniHomer. Then connect the other USB cable connector to USB
port of a PC or laptop to provide charge power. While charging,
the charging status indicator will light up. After the miniHomer is
fully charged, the charging status indicator will turn dark. The
USB cable can then be removed.
Powering On
The miniHomer is to be used outdoors; it will not work inside
buildings.
Press and hold Power/Mode key for 2~3 seconds. The backlight
will turn on and full LCD screen will be displayed. Momentarily,
direction arrow formed circle will blink twice, and then satellite
icon
will start blinking, with distance showing blank. At this
stage the miniHomer is trying to acquire satellite signal.
After the satellite signal is acquired and your current position has
been determined, the miniHomer shows non-blinking satellite
icon with arcs
; more arcs meaning better signal quality with
more satellites used for an accurate position fix. The miniHomer
is now ready to be used.
The time it takes to reach position fix from powering on, after
several hours of unused period, may vary from 30 seconds to
couple minutes, depending on the surrounding environment.
Places with unobstructed sky view will result in faster position fix.
If the miniHomer had been previously used within the 2 hour
period before powering on, the time to reach position fix will be
very short.
