System maintenance and user support
This chapter contains information regarding system usage, maintenance,
and troubleshooting. Lists of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and user
support contact information are also provided for reference.
Using your NAV 350 safely
The precautions and instructio ns stated in this Guide shall be executed in the English
language. In the event of any discrepancy between the English language original
hereof and any translation hereof into any o ther language, the English language
original shall govern.
Driving precautions
When using the device in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely responsible
for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. It is your responsibility to comply
with all traffic laws. Failure to follow the directions below could result in
death or catastrophic bodily injury to you or to others.
• Do not attempt to enter information or configure the
device while driving. If you need to do so, pull out of traffi c
and come to a stop in a legally permissible and safe
location before using your device.
• Vehicle operators must maintain full surveillance of
pertinent driving conditions at all times. Minimize the need
to view the device screen while driving and use voice
prompts to guide you.
• Never place the device on the passenger seat or any
place else in the car where it can become a projectile
during a collision or stop.
• An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT mount the
device in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area.
51
System maintenance and user support
• Although reasonable attempt has been made to ensure
that the database in your NAV 350 is accurate, such
information may change from time to time. The NAV 350
database does not include any of the following:
Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height,
Road slope, bridge height, weight or other limits
Construction work zones or hazards; road closures, traffic
Weather conditions
Emergency events
It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal route
suggestions. Your judgment and common sense shall take precedence
over any information that may be received through the use of your
device.

condensation in the device that could cause damage to
the device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow
the device to dry out completely.
dashboard. When your vehicle is parked and the device is
not in use, protect it from theft and extreme heat by storing
it in an unobtrusive location, away from direct sunlight.

• The device is not a toy. Never allow children to play with
the device.
• Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid
crystal display. Contact with this liquid could cause a skin
rash. If the crystal display liquid should come into contact
with the skin or clothing, wash it immediately with clean
water.
• Never raise the sound volume level too high when using
the device with earphones. An excessive sound volume
level could cause damage to your hearing.
Car mount precautions
• Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic
device in any location on the vehicle dashboard. Be sure
to check the local laws for applicable mounting before
installing the car mount.
• Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective
shield embedded in the windshield. This may in some cases
obstruct the GPS signal reception. If you encounter this
problem in the vehicle, you need to purchase an external
GPS antenna.
System maintenance and user support
• The heating and cooling cycle of a vehicle's interior will in
some cases loosen the adhesion of the suction cup. Check
the vacuum seal of the car mount for adequate adhesion
each time you use the unit, and reinstall it if necessary.
• If the car mount has problems staying on, clean the plastic
suction cup with alcohol, then reinstall. Moistening the
suction cup may help adhesion in some cases.
• To avoid extreme temperature from damaging the car
mount, remove the unit if the temperature inside your
vehicle exceeds 70°C (160°F).
• The dip in humidity and temperature at night may loosen
the adhesion of the suction cup. For this reason, as well as
for security, it is recommended that you remove both the
car mount kit and the NAV 350 when leaving your vehicle
overnight.
53
System maintenance and user support
Storage precautions
• Do not store the device anywhere it may be exposed to
water or in conditions of high humidity.
• When the device is not in use for an extended period of
time, bring it indoors and store it in some location with a
temperature range of -20° to +70°C (-40° to 140°F) .
•
Cleaning the NAV 350
• Use a damp soft dry cloth to wipe t he device’s casing (not
the display screen). Never use organic solvents such as
benzene or paint thinner to clean the device. Use of these
solvents can cause deformation or discoloration.
• Use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to clean the display screen.
Moistened LCD screen wipes could also be used as
required.
Troubleshooting the NAV 350
