The front of the top has an LCD touchscreen, and the front of the bottom has a keypad. The rear of the top has a solar panel, and the rear of the bottom has a battery compartment enclosing a rechargeable battery. One side of the bottom has a USB port, and the opposing side of the bottom has a power port that receives one end of a car charger.
