WHAT IS GPS?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites launched by the US military in

the 1970s. The satellites continuously transmit accurate time and position information, which

is freely used by commercial and military applications worldwide. GPS receivers such as the

iCN 630 are designed to pick up the high frequency radio signals from these satellites, and use

the information to determine your exact location. Today, there are many applications that use

GPS, from marine to automotive, aviation and military.

There are 24 satellites in total, orbiting the earth at around 12,000 miles. While a GPS receiver

can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any one time, only three are needed to provide the

two-dimensional position or x (latitude and longitude) that is required for vehicle and marine

navigation systems. Aviation applications also need altitude and therefore need information

from at least four satellites.

The iCN 630 In-Car navigation unit is designed specically to use GPS information to nd

your current position, and to calculate the best route to your desired destination using the

road maps stored in its memory. The iCN 630 will then guide you with voice and visual

commands to your destination using the continuous stream of GPS data to track your

position as you take a trip.

INSTALLING THE iCN 630 IN YOUR VEHICLE

Before installing the iCN 630 In-Car navigation unit, check whether your vehicle is tted with an

athermic (heat reecting) or a heated windshield. If so, you will need to purchase an external

or re-radiating antenna to allow your iCN 630 unit to pick up the GPS signals. For more

information, refer to Section 14 Accessories.

Your iCN 630 unit comes with mounting options that allow you to install the unit in three

different ways:

 By suction straight onto the windshield.

 By suction or an adhesive disc onto the dash.

 By directly screwing onto the dash.

Alternative mounting options may be available specically for your make and model of vehicle.

Follow these mounting instructions carefully to ensure your unit is properly installed.

For security purposes and to avoid overheating, do not leave this unit on the dash or

windscreen while your vehicle is unattended, especially in strong sunlight. Do not use or handle

if the unit is hot - leave it to cool out of the sun.

If your unit does get too hot then you will be prompted to turn down the brightness (press and

hold the zoom [icon] key). If the unit continues to get hotter the screen will go blank - voice

instructions will continue.

Suction Mount to Windshield

1 Choose a position on the windshield where the iCN 630 will be clearly visible by the driver.

Follow the safety guidelines at the front of this manual to ensure that the unit does not

obstruct the view of the driver, or interfere with the operation of any airbags and safety

devices in the vehicle.

2 Make sure that both the windshield and the suction cup are thoroughly clean and dry.

3 Hold the suction cup rmly against the windshield and press the lever down until

it snaps shut.

4 The ball foot should now be securely xed on the windshield.

5 Slip the locking nut loosely over the ball foot, with the at side facing upwards.

To remove the suction

cup, pull the lever up.

Release the suction

using release tab.

ý

Should you experience

problems with your

suction cup hot holding

on, clean an area of

your windshield with

a cloth dabbed in

isopropyl alcohol [tape

head cleaner] let it

dry, then re-apply the

suction cup.

6 Snap the socket clip onto the ball foot.

7 Adjust the position of the socket clip, so that the unit will be clearly visible by the driver.

8 Wind the locking nut onto the thread of the socket clip until rm.

9 Snap the iCN 630 unit onto the socket clip. First, position the two locating tabs on the

underside of the unit into the corresponding slots on the socket clip. Then snap the upper

side of the unit into the clip.

10 Flip the aerial outwards so that the aerial is pointing horizontally.

11 Plug the power cable into the socket on the left hand side of the unit.

12 Plug the other end of the power adaptor into the vehicles cigarette lighter socket.

13 Make sure that the unit is positioned such that the aerial has a clear view of the sky.

14 In most vehicles, you will need to have the engine idling in order to program your route

into the unit. While you can switch on the unit with just the auxiliary power on (i.e. your key

in the Auxiliary ON position), turning the key to switch on the engine may interrupt power

to the unit and your programmed route will be saved for re use. It is recommended that

you program your route with the engine may already idling, but with the automatic shift of

your car in Park and the handbrake applied.

To unclip the iCN 630

unit from the mounting

bracket, press down on

the back of the upper

plastic clip to release the

top of the unit, then lift

the unit out of the

bottom two slots.

In vehicles where

auxiliary power is

permanently on, the

unit can be switched

on and programmed

as soon as the power

adaptor is connected.

Switching the engine on

will not reset the unit.
