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.

holder where the driver's field of vision is blocked.
If the car's windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external
antenna (optional) may be needed to route the antenna to the top of
the car through a window. When closing the car window, be careful
not to pinch the antenna cable. (Cars with an anti-jam window design
may automatically leave adequate space as needed.)
The car holder consists of a bracket and a stand. Use the car holder to fix
your device in a vehicle. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear view
of the sky. (See the document supplied with the car holder for the
installation instruction.)
For initial positioning, remain at the same spot with a clear view of the sky.
The GPS may take a few minutes to find its current location initially.

supplied with your device may not look exactly the same as the picture
shown.

Maintaining Your Device
Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and
reduce the risk of damage to your device.
Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme
temperatures.
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light
for extended periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your
device.
Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature
changes. This could cause moisture condensation inside the unit,
which could damage your device. In the event of moisture
condensation, allow the device to dry out completely before use.
Take care not to sit on the device. We advise not to carry the device
in one's back pocket for that reason.
The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with
sharp objects. Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed
specifically for use on portable devices with LCD panels may be used
to help protect the screen from minor scratches.
Never clean your device with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth
moistened with water to wipe the screen and the exterior of your
device.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to
your device. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could
cause damage to your device and even bodily injury or property
damage and will void any warranty.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials
in the same compartment as your device, its parts or accessories.
