WARNING
This product contains a lithium-ion battery. To prevent the
possibility of personal injury or product damage caused by
battery exposure to extreme heat, store the device out of direct
sunlight.
Both the device and its mount contain magnets. Under certain
circumstances, magnets may cause interference with some
internal medical devices, including pacemakers and insulin
pumps. Keep the device and its mount away from such medical
devices.
Turning the Device On or Off
• To turn the device on, press the power key, or connect the
device to power.
• To put the device in power saving mode, press the power key
while the device is on.
While in power saving mode, the screen is off and the device
uses very little power, but it can wake instantly for use.
TIP: You can charge your device faster by putting it in power
saving mode while charging the battery.
• To turn off the device completely, hold the power key until a
prompt appears on the screen, and select Off.
The prompt appears after five seconds. If you release the
power key before the prompt appears, the device enters

Acquiring GPS Signals
When you turn on your navigation device, the GPS receiver
must collect satellite data and establish the current location. The
time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several
factors, including how far you are from the location where you
last used your navigation device, whether you have a clear view
of the sky, and how long it has been since you last used your
navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation
device, it may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.
Turn on the device.
