Actis 7 wifi4

Thank you for purchasing Actis 7 wifi.

- The Actis 7 wifi Owner's Manual is for your convenience and safety when using this product.

- Before operating Actis 7 wifi, and to take full advantage of this multi-functional navigation system,

please read the manual carefully and follow its instructions.

- Depending on the navigation system model type, the contents of this owner's manual may vary. The

navigation system and the owner's manual are subject to changes in function or performance without

prior notice for the convenience of users.

- Producer will not be responsible for any equipment damage resulting from improper installation or

use.

Safety precautions

For your safety, and that of your passengers, please follow these safety warnings.

- Make sure that the unit is installed securely to prevent the stand from coming off or moving during

operation. It might cause an accident.

- The GPS receiver might not function normally in some cars that are UV coated, have tinted windows

or have anti electromagnetic wave fitted. In these cases, please contact our sales representative to

buy an external GPS antenna which is sold as an optional item.

- GPS signals might be affected under expressways, in tunnels, or in built-up areas due to weak

electrical waves.

- Use the navigation unit only for reference and do not place too much reliance on it. Map data must

be updated annually to avoid erroneous directions.

- Do not use it where it is hot and humid. Install and keep the product out of direct sunlight to prevent it

from damage due to overheating.

- Make sure that water or other liquids do not get inside the product. This could cause fire or electric

shock.

- To reduce the risk or electric shocks, do not open the cover (or back). There are no user-serviceable

parts inside.

- The GPS receiver operates optimally at 0o to 50o C. If the temperature inside of the car is too low or

too high, the product might not function correctly. Make sure that the optimal temperature is

maintained.

- If the windshield mount is attached to the glass of the vehicle for a long time, it might come off due to

reduced adhesiveness.

- The memory card (SD or SDHC) could be damaged if used with any other devices.

- Do not remove the memory card (SD or SDHC) while the product is in operation. It may cause

mechanical problems.

- Do not touch the product with wet hands. It might cause electric shock or damage.

- Do not disassemble or drop the product. It might cause damage or a mechanical breakdown.

- Use only the specified power adapter. Using a different type of adapter might cause damage or a

mechanical breakdown.

- Touch the LCD with fingers or blunt devices only. If a sharp drill or a nail is used, it might cause

damage.

- Use only soft and dry cotton cloth when cleaning the product. Do not use strong solvents such as

alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as these might damage the surface of the product.
