Warnings
Care and Caution
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States Government
which is solely responsible for the accuracy and continued operation of the system.
Accuracy of position fixes (longitude, latitude and altitude) can be affected by
alterations made to the GPS satellites by the U.S. Government. Accuracy is subject
to change in accordance with the U.S. Department of Defense civil GPS user policy
and Federal Radionavigation Plan. Positional accuracy and time to fix time can also
be affected by poor view of caused by obstructions such as
tall buildings,
heavy foliage,
large cliffs and other obstructions
where GPS satellite signals are blocked and poor satellites geometry conditions
result.
Judgment

Safety
The BT Gmouse uses four AAA-size batteries. Leaving the BT Gmouse in hot
or cold conditions, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions,
will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery used. Always try to
keep the BT Gmouse between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C (+77°F). A BT
Gmouse with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when
the battery is new or fully charged.
The performance of Ni-MH AAA 1.2V Battery or 4 X AAA 1.5V Battery is
particularly limited in temperatures below 0°C (+32°F).
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Batteries must not be
disposed of in municipal waste.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE BT Gmouse RECEIVER IN A FIRE!

the instruction manual/User Guide of the equipment.
Danger
If the alkaline solution of the battery touches the eyes, injury such as loss of
eyesight may caused. Do not rub the eyes, but flush the eyes amply with
abundant clean water such as city water and then receive medical treatment
without delay.
Failure to carefully observe the following procedures and precautions can result
in leakage of battery fluid (electrolyte), heat generation, bursting, fire and
serious personal injury!
Never dispose of Ni-MH batteries in a fire or heat them.
Do not connect the (+) positive and (-) negative terminals of Ni-MH batteries
together with electrically conductive materials, including lead wires. Do not
transport or store batteries with their uncovered terminals or connected with a
metal necklace or other electrically conductive material. When carrying or
storing batteries,use a special case.
Never disassemble battery. Doing so may cause an internal or external short
circuit or result in exposed material of battery reacting chemically with the air.
It may also cause heat generation, bursting and fire. Also, this is dangerous as
it may cause splashing of alkaline fluid.
Never modify or reconstruct batteries. Protective devices to prevent danger are
built into batteries(single cell or packed cells).
If these are damaged, excessive current flow may cause loss of control during
charging or discharging of the battery, leakage of battery fluid, heat generation,
bursting and fire.
Never solder lead wires directly on to batteries.
The (+) positive and (-) negative terminals of batteries are predetermined. Do
not force the terminals to connect to the charger or the equipment, check if the
(+) and (-) terminals are incorrectly positioned.
The gas release vent which release internal gas is located in the (+)positive
terminal of the battery. For this reason, never deform this section or cover or
obstruct its gas release structure.
5
batteries contain a strong colorless alkaline solution (electrolyte). The alkaline
solution is extremely corrosive and will cause skin damage. If any fluid from a
battery comes in contact with user’s eyes, they should immediately flush their
eyes and wash them thoroughly with clean water from the tap or another
source and consult a doctor urgently. The strong alkaline solution can damage
eyes and lead to permanent loss of eyesight.
When batteries are to be incorporated in equipment or housed
within a case, avoid air-tight structures, as this may lead to the
equipment or the case being damaged or may be harmful to users.
Warning
Keep batteries out of reach of babies and little children. If by any chance, the
batteries are swallowed, consult the doctor without delay.
Do not incinerate, heat, disassemble or remodel the batteries. The insulator
and the vent for gas excape and so on will be damaged, and the batteries may
leak, heat or explode.
If the alkaline solution of the battery is licked, rinse out the mouth and consult
the doctor without delay.
If the alkaline solution of the batteries adheres to skin or clothes, skin injury
may be caused. Wash liquid away immediately with abundant clean water such
as city water.
Do not connect (+) (-)of the batteries with wire and do not carry or keep
metallic necklace, hairpin, etc. together with batteries. The batteries may be
short-circuited, causing over-current any they may leak, heat or explode.
Do not mix and use “different types or brands of batteries” nor “used and new
batteries” together. The difference of characteristics may cause leakage, heat
or explosion.
These batteries are not designed to recharge. If recharged, the insulator or
the inside structure may be damaged, and the batteries may leak, heat or
explode.
Remove promptly the used batteries from the apparatus. If the used batteries
are left in the apparatus, connected for long, gas will be formed in the batteries,
which may cause battery leakage, heat or explosion and may cause damage of
apparatus.
When not using the apparatus for a long period, remove the batteries from the
apparatus. Gas formed in the batteries may cause battery leakage or may
damage the apparatus.

Do not apply water, seawater or other oxidizing reagents to batteries, as this
can cause rust and heat generation. If a battery becomes rusted, the gas
release vent may no longer operate, and can result in bursting.
Do not over0charge batteries by exceeding the predetermined charging period
specified by the battery charger’s instructions or indicator. If batteries are not
fully charged after the battery charger’s predetermined charging period has
elapsed, stop the charging process. Prolonged charging may cause leakage of
battery fluid, heat generation, and bursting. Be sure to handle recharged
batteries carefully as they may be not.
batteries contain a strong colorless alkaline solution (electrolyte). If the skin or
clothing comes in contact with fluid from a battery, thoroughly wash the area
immediately with clean water from the tap or another source. Battery fluid can
irritate the skin.
Do not connect more than 21 batteries in series, as this may cause electrical
shocks, leakage of battery fluid and heat generation.
Do not remove the outer tube from a battery or damage it. Doing so will expose
the battery to the risk of a short circuit, and may cause leakage of battery fluid,
heat generation, bursting and fire.
If batteries leak fluid, change color, change shape, or change in any other way,
do not use them, otherwise they may cause heat generation, bursting and fire.
Keep batteries and the equipment using them out of the reach of babies and
small children, in order to avoid accidental swallowing of the batteries. In the
event the batteries are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
