Safety
The Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based system that provides
location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled
under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States of America, who
are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and
accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the operation of your the
Binatone Carrera Personal Navigation Device (PND).
Using Your PND in the Car
When using your PND while driving it is essential that you drive with due care and
attention. Never modify the settings or program your PND while driving. Only look at
the PND map when it is safe to do so. Only follow the PND instructions when the
road regulations allow you to do so. When mounting the PND in your car make sure
that it does not obscure your view or impede the operation of any driving controls.
Prohibited Areas
Do not operate your PND in hospitals or near any electrical medical equipment.
Do not operate your PND in aircraft.
Do not operate your PND in a petrol station forecourt.
Battery
Your PND uses a Li-Polymer battery. Do not use it in humid, wet or corrosive
environments. Do not operate or store your PND in high temperatures (>60℃) or in
direct sun light. Do not pierce or break the battery casing.
Failure to follow these cautions will invalidate the warranty and may cause the
battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury or damage.
If you come into contact with leaked battery acid wash the contact area
thoroughly and seek medical attention.
The Li-Polymer battery contained in this unit must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Do not dispose of in household waste or burn.

displaying BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG files. Other photo/picture file formats are not
supported by the T430BT. In order to view these files on the T430BT, you will first

Note: Do not store photos in the Flash storage, for the flash storage is used to
store map data, any attempt to open the Flash storage may result in the map
data becoming lost or corrupt.
If the unit lags when reading JPEG files, try using lower resolution files. We
