KNA-G520 Instruction Manual EN-i
Warning
This manual uses the term Warning to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
English
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could
result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the unit to
all available navigation sources, including information from street signs,
visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or
questions before continuing navigation.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted
by the unit while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving
conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of the
unit while driving and use voice prompts when possible.
Do not enter destinations, change settings, or access any functions
requiring prolonged use of the unit’s controls while driving. Pull over in
a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations.
Keep the system’s volume at a low enough level to be able to hear
outside noises while driving. If you can no longer hear outside noises,
you may be unable to react adequately to the traffic situation. This may
cause accidents.
EN-ii KNA-G520 Instruction Manual
This navigation system can be used when the ignition key is turned to
ON or ACC. However, to preserve the battery, it should be used with
the engine running whenever possible. Using the navigation system for
a long time with the engine switched off can cause the battery to run
down.
The navigation system will not display the correct current position of the
vehicle the first time it is used after purchase, or if the battery has been
removed for a long time. GPS satellite signals will soon be received,
however, and the correct position will be displayed.
Be careful of the surrounding temperature. Using the navigation system
at extremely high or low temperatures can lead to malfunction or
damage. Also note that the unit can be damaged by strong vibration or
metal objects or by water getting inside.
PREFACE
English
Caution
This manual uses the term Caution to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury or property damage. It
may also be used without the symbol to alert you to avoid unsafe practices.
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may
result in injury or property damage.
The unit is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It does not
reflect road closures or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather
conditions, or other factors that may affect safety or timing while
driving.
Use the unit only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the unit
for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance,
location, or topography.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United
States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and
maintenance. The government’s system is subject to changes which
could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment,
including the unit. Although the unit is a precision navigation device,
any navigation device can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.
Important Information
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to
us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map
information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
