an air bag cover or within the air bag deployment zone. COWON assumes no responsibility of liability
for injury or death as a result of car crashes and/or air bag deployment.

- In order to have clean satellite data reception, make sure the GPS antenna is horizontal with the sky.

- The navigator cradle may fall off the windshield if it is attached to the windshield with a suction cup
for an extended period of time. To prevent this, please rest the navigator on the dashboard while it is
attached to the windshield. When not in use, please detach it from the windshield and store the unit.

- Do not pull the navigation cradle’s front forcefully or abruptly as it may break off.

- The FMT transmission can be affected by the car type or surrounding environment causing noise in
the sound. Please, try to change the FMT channel for the best reception

vehicles. COWON does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that
may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section
