SETTING UP YOUR GPS:
PART 1: GET YOUR GPS CHARGED UP
- Please ensure your GPS is fully charged before performing the steps below – a full charge takes about 4 hours using a USB-C charger. Please do not plug it into a high-power fast charger.
- Your AirBolt GPS will display different charging behaviour depending on how charged it is
- When plugged in, it should typically flash red briefly and will continue to do so every few seconds. The caveat here is that if it is extremely low, it may take sometime for it to start flashing.
- When charging is about half way, the red charge light will change from a flash to a fade-in, fade-out
- When fully charged, the light will turn off
