Preface

We appreciate your purchase of the HOLUX car navigation.

Please read all instructions thoroughly for a full understanding of the
products’ features.

Precautions and Notices

• For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while
driving.

• Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as
a navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance,
location or topography.

• The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user's responsibility
to follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.

• When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard
that is subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the battery can
cause malfunction and/or danger.

• GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS
system can affect the accuracy of all GPS equipments.

• GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except
glass). When you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not
available.

• A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current
GPS position. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as
bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings).

• Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception
of satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.

• A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. Be sure to place
the device in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver's
view or deployment of air bags.
