Important Notes When Using GPS

• Do not operate the system while driving.

• The plotted GPS route is only for driving references, it should not affect actual driving

behavior.

• Please use the system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting from

negligent operation of the system.

• When using inside a vehicle, please utilize the car holder to mount the pocket PC

securely in place. Please avoid the areas shown in the following diagram:

1. Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.

2. Do not place at where the air bags are.

3. Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing in the holder.

4. Do not place where the air bags could deploy.

• GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may

be affected due to obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, etc. and bad weather (rainy or cloudy days).

• The receipt of signal would be affected by objects such as high-rise buildings, tunnels,

bridges, forests, etc and the weather (rainy or cloudy days). If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, the GPS signal will not be difﬁ cult to pass through. For example, the

“vehicle heat-isolating foil” will also affect the receiving condition of the GPS signal. Suggest to connect your device to external GPS antenna for better signal

reception.

• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US Defence

Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.

• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices)

may interfere with the satellite signal resulting unstable signal reception.

• Please do not leave your pocket PC in the vehicle and expose to direct sunlight to

avoid overheating the battery that could pose damage to the device or risk to the vehicle.
