About GPS and GNSS

The ADVUV630 uses a vehicle GPS (Global Positioning System)-based navigation device which utilizes digital map data to guide you from your selected location A to location B, using location information obtained from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

A GNSS consists of a set of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals containing time, direction, and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver, a llowing users to pi npoint th eir p recise loca tions a nywhere ar ound the globe. Navigation Satellite Receivers (GPS devices) use this transmitted information to calculate an exact location on the earth. Every point on Earth can be identified by latitude and longitude. The receiver uses the information sent by at least three satellites and determines the coordinates of the receiving device.

By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the time they were recorded, the receiver calculates how far away each satellite is. The distance of the receiver from three or more satellites reflects its

Horizon NavMate 5

position on the surface of the planet. Using these distance measurements, the receiver might also be able to calculate speed, bearing, trip time, distance to destination, altitude, etc. The GPS position may be displayed as a point on a digital map (at least three satellites' signals must be received) and as the GPS device moves the corresponding trace is displayed as well.

Please keep in mind that although the radio signals of navigation satellites will pass through clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials, satellitenavigation receivers will not work underground or in some enclosed spaces.

Horizon NavMate Navigation / Tele Atlas Map Data

The ADVUV630 is pre-loaded with Horizon NavMate 5 and Tele Atlas map data. The map data covers the continental US.

The initial GPS location lock is best established when your vehicle is parked. If the device is in motion, the signal can take longer to initially connect. Once the initial coordinates are established, the software will follow you as you move and navigate.

NOTE: It may take up to 5 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used the unit for several days or are very far away from the last location you used it, it may take up to 5 minutes again to find a strong signal.

SAFETY INFORMATION

User Agreement

When the navigation system is first access, you will see the following message, warning you to operate your navigation system appropriately:

You must agree to the above notice before operating the ADVUV630 navigation system. Touch the bar labeled “Press to ac cept.” to proce ed to the Main Menu.

Driver Safety Rules

The following safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:

• The driver should operate the device only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should operate the device while the vehicle is moving. When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your destinations.

• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.

• The ADVUV630 is designed to assist you in the process of reaching your destination. It is not a substitute for attentiveness and good judgement. It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous, or illegal route suggestions.

• The device does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following: a. Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load

and speed restrictions); b. Road slope or grade, bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; c. Population density; d. Neighborhood quality or safety;

Horizon NavMate 5

e. Availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue,

medical, or other assistance; f. Construction work zones or hazards; g. Road or lane closures; h. Road, traffic, or traffic facilities' safety or condition; i. Weather conditio ns; j. Pavement characteristics or conditions; k. Special events; l. Traffic congestion.

• While every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate, roadways, points of interest, and business and service locatio n s ma y change over time.

• Do not use the ADVUV630 to navigate to a police station, hospit a l, etc. in an emergency. Call 911 for assistance.

• Laws in some states prohibit wearing stereo headphones or may prohibit use or placement of a navigation device while operating a motor vehicle. Please contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles for information.

BASIC OPERATION

Head Unit Button Functions

Accessing the Navigation Software

Press the SRC button and select the NAV icon to access navigation mode.

Selecting / Listening to a Source while Navigating

While navigating, other sources may be selected and listened to such as AMFM Tuner, CD, etc. To listen to another source while navigating, press the SRC button and then select a source from the Source Menu. Navigation voice prompts will be heard automatically, although the navigation map cannot be seen. To view the navigation screen, but continue to listen to the selected source, press the NAV button or choose the navigation source from the SOURCE menu.

Acquiring a Satellite Signal

Drive your vehicle to an open area where the GPS signal can be clearly received and park the vehicle. If the device is in motion, the signal can take longer to initially connect.

With the ignition on, verify that the "GPS" indicator is green. It may take up to 5 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used the unit for several days or are very far away from the last location you used it, it may take up to 5 minutes again to find a strong signal. If you cannot acquire the signal, drive to another location. If the signal is still unobtainable, check your antenna installation.

Once a GPS signal has been established, verify that the information display clock time (time displayed on the radio) matches the navigation system clock. With an established GPS signal, the software will follow you as you move and navigate.

The GPS symbol ( )may change colors indicating the strength of the signal. The GPS symbol colors mean:

• Green - GPS signal is free from obstruction and is being received regularly - at least four satellites are being received.

• Yellow - GPS signal is partially obstructed which means only three satellites are being received.

• Red - GPS signal is unavailable, meaning two or fewer satellites are being received.
