■ The initial adhesive strength of the double-surface adhesive tape is reduced when the
temperature is low (20°C (68°F) or less). Turn on the heater and heat the vehicle up
prior to adhering onto the mounting surface.

■ Make sure to use the cleaner included with the kit to clean the mounting
surface of any dirt and let the surface dry before adhering the stand base.
The dashboard may have been coated with a wax surface protective agent that
is hard to see with the naked eye. This wax significantly weakens the double­surface adhesive tape and may cause the unit to fall.

■ The double-surface tape adhering the stand base can only be stuck onto the
surface once and cannot be peeled off and re-adhered.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (2)

CAUTION

Make sure that there is no dust adhering to the metal
contacts of the AC/DC adaptor. Dust or metal touching the

contacts may result in fires or electric shocks.

Do not damage, bend excessively, twist, pull or place
heavy weights on the AC/DC adaptor cord.

Should the cord get damaged (core wire exposed, cut, etc.)
request a replacement at the place of purchase. Using as is
may result in fires or electric shocks.

WARNING

Do not use the unit in areas of high temperatures for an
extended period (direct sunlight, in a vehicle under a hot
sun, etc.) and do not leave the unit in such areas.

Burns or fires may result.

Do not place or install the unit in areas where rain is
blown in by the wind or in areas prone to water splashes,
humidity or dust. Water, humidity or dust infiltrating the unit

may result in smoke emissions or fires.

Do not place the unit in areas where it may be exposed to
oil, smoke or water vapor such as near a kitchen counter
or a humidifier. Fires or electric shocks may result.

Do not place the unit on unsteady or inclined surfaces.

It may fall resulting in injury.

Do not use the unit if it is covered by a cloth
sheet or blanket. Fires may result.

Enjoy watching the unit at a suitable sound level.

High volumes may damage your hearing and, because
exterior sounds become muffled, traffic accidents may result.

If the unit’s power supply is the vehicle battery, do not
leave the vehicle engine turned off for extended period
while operating the unit.

The vehicle battery may weaken and die out.

While driving, adjust the volume of the unit so that
exterior sounds can be heard well. Driving without being

able to hear exterior sounds may lead to traffic accidents.

Should the instructions provided by the navigation unit
differ from the actual traffic conditions, proceed to drive
in accordance with the actual traffic conditions.

Accidents may result.

Do not place the AC/DC adaptor cord near a heater.

The cord’s plastic sheath may melt and result in fires or
electric shocks.

When unplugging the AC/DC adaptor cord, do so by
pulling on the plug itself, not the cord.

Pulling on the cord may result in damage to the cord and lead
to fires or electric shocks.

Do not handle the AC/DC adaptor cord with wet hands.

Electric shocks may result.

When cleaning the plug or when not using the unit for an
extended period, disconnect the AC/DC adaptor from the
power supply for safety.

Electric shocks or fires may result.

Do not place the plug on the floor with the metal contacts
facing upward.

Stepping on it in this condition may cause injury.

Do not look directly at the laser light source.

Doing so may cause eye damage.

Do not press on the liquid crystal panel with excessive
force or expose it to impacts.

The liquid crystal panel glass may crack resulting in injury.

Should the liquid crystal panel crack, do not come into
contact with the liquid coming from the interior of the
panel. This may lead to inflammation of the skin.

¡Should the liquid be accidentally ingested, see a doctor

immediately.

¡Should the liquid get into the eyes or onto the skin, wash out

with a large amount of water and see a doctor immediately.

CAUTION

Pull out

the plug

23 24

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (3)

For safety, adhere the stand base onto a surface that would enable secure
anchoring. Depending on the dashboard material (PP: polypropylene or
other), the double-surface adhesive tape alone may not be strong enough
to affix the unit. Use the tapping screws included with the unit (4 screws)
to securely anchor it.

* For such a case, holes need to be made into the dashboard. Proceed with

caution.
(*In case of a prominent curved surface, the adhesive area is reduced
resulting in unsteady mounting. The unit may not be mountable onto such a
surface.)

For vehicles equipped with airbags (SRS Dual Airbag, SRS Side Airbag,
SRS Curtain Airbag, etc.), do not under any circumstance install the unit
in a way that obstructs the airbag cover or would hinder its proper
operation. Do not wire the antenna cord in such an area.

In the event the airbag is to be deployed, it may not function correctly.
(*Decide on the unit’s mounting position after thoughtful consideration for safety
and consultation with the place of purchase.)

If the surface on which the unit is to be adhered is not plastic (leather,
wood, upholstery, etc.), the surface finish may become damaged
rendering installation using adhesives impossible.

Should the stand base adhesive get torn off the dashboard, slowly and
carefully peel it off the surface.

Because strong adhesive tape is used, peeling off with excessive force may
damage the dashboard surface finish.

CAUTION

CAUTIONARY ITEMS FOR PROPER USAGE (1)

¡The adhesive strength of the double-surface tape decreases at

CAUTIONARY ITEMS FOR PROPER USAGE (2)

During raining days, when the humidity level
is high or immediately after having turned on
the heater in cold temperatures, condensation
(water drops) may form on the optical lens
inside the unit. Using the unit in this condition
may result in laser malfunction rendering
normal operation impossible. Results may
depend on the ambient environmental conditions,
however, the condensation will evaporate and normal operation will be possible after
removing the disc and leaving the unit unused for roughly 1 hour.

ABOUT CONDENSATION

Take out the
disc and
wait about 1
hour, ok?

Exposing the unit to vibrations may result in the following conditions:

¡DVD video/CD/JPEG imaging: Sound and image disturbance, however, both return to

normal when vibrations cease.

¡Map disc: Rarely affected by vibrations, however, on rare occasions, symptoms such

as the map disappearing from the screen may occur. Operation returns to
normal when vibrations cease.

ABOUT VIBRATIONS

Everything will
be back to
normal when
vibrations stop!

¡Direct sunlight will cause the display to blacken

due to reflection of the sunrays. Avoid direct
sunlight.

¡The display is best viewed from directly in front of

the unit. Watch the screen within a 45° angle
vertically and a 90° angle laterally from the unit.

¡Red and blue points of light may appear in the display. This is normal for a liquid

crystal display and does not mean the display is damaged.

¡The display uses a small fluorescent tube as a backlight for liquid crystals. If the

screen goes black and does not light up, consult the place of purchase.

ABOUT THE DISPLAY

45° vertically

90° laterally

Because the most detailed map reduction scales provided by the map disc vary
depending on the region, when moving the map screen to a region of varying reduction
scale, the screen may not show a map. Continue moving the map to return the normal
driving map screen and the reduction scale will change to the most detailed map for the
region presently displayed.

ABOUT THE DETAILED MAP SCREEN DISPLAY

Using the unit when the vehicle engine is turned off may lead to
weakening of the battery. Do not use the unit for an extended period
with the engine turned off.

ABOUT USING THE UNIT WITH THE VEHICLE ENGINE TURNED OFF

(WHEN THE UNIT POWER SOURCE IS THE VEHICLE BATTERY)

¡Dust easily adheres to the screen necessitating

periodical cleaning. When cleaning, cut off the
power supply and wipe the screen with a soft
cloth. Do not use a wet cloth and do not rub the
screen with a hard object or hit the screen.
