Powering On for the First Time

There are two key steps to powering on the unit for the first 

time:

Insert the included memory card in the top slot  

NOTE:  The memory card must be inserted into the slot as shown at left, with the 

clipped edge on the lower left side  When inserted correctly, the sticker 

on the memory card is on the same side of the device as the device screen 

2 

Using the device stylus (stored in the lower left corner on the 

back side of the device), move the switch on the bottom of the 

device to the “on” position  

NOTE:  This process only needs to be done prior to the initial use of the unit. 

From then on the power button on the right-hand side of the unit should 

be used.

The software may respond slowly upon first use as some functions 

are initialized  This is normal 

The first use of the Rand McNally GPS Navigator requires a few 

additional steps: 

 After turning on your unit, you will be prompted to  

select your language  

2 

Several startup screens will flash  When asked  

“Do you want to select the navigation map now?” tap 

3 

You will be taken to a screen that asks you to select a geo-

graphic map area  Highlight the map that corresponds to 

your current geographic region (this can be changed later 

from the Settings screen) 

Battery Life

The Rand McNally GPS Navigator comes with an internal Li-Ion 

battery  Under normal use this battery should last up to 4 hours  

The battery can be charged while the device is in use or powered 

off, from the included 12V vehicle adapter  The on-screen bat-

tery gauge indicates battery status 

In the event that the battery power depletes completely, the 

device may initiate a full restart (see “Powering On for the First 

Time”) when powered back on 

Screen

The GPS Navigator is a touch-screen, menu-driven system  Make 

your selections by touching the screen menus at any time and 

follow the highlighted prompts  Be careful not to scratch the 

screen  Most input and selections can be made using your fingers, 

but the included stylus (stored in the lower left corner on the 

back side of the device) may be used instead 

Some polarized sunglasses will “block out” the view of LCD screens  

This is related to the way light interacts with the polarized 

lenses and is not a malfunction of the device
