Quick Start Guide for Using TDS NOMAD GPS Equipment
Initial Unit Check
For each GPS unit, ensure you have:
• TDS NOMAD GPS Unit
• Garmin backpack receiver (antenna)
• Portable battery pack for receiver (usually found in the back pocket of backpack)
• GPS Receiver Battery Charger w/ connectable 110v power supply
• AC adapter for charging your GPS unit
• USB cable for data transfer
• Stylus with a lanyard to enter data from unit display (do not use a ballpoint pen)
Make sure the GPS receiver battery is charged by depressing the “TEST” button on top of
the battery.  All four lights should come on when the battery is completely charged.  If charging is
needed, plug the barrel adapter into the large port on the side of the battery pack labeled
“Antenna/Charger” and then plug the charger into an electrical outlet for several hours.
