• If you attach the vacuum disk on the glass for a long period of time, the pressure in the disk slowly reduces and the vacuum disk may fall off.
• The Navigator holder may fall off at a sudden stop, thus causing a dangerous situation. We recommend it should be installed close to the dashboard so it can be supported properly.
• Applying too much force to adjust while the connecting arm is tightly fixed, may deform the rubber disk connecting all the components.
• If the holder falls off, please follow the instructions again to reinstall and use it.
• Please note that if the product is damaged due to user negligence, it cannot be returned or refunded.
Winter precaution
• The vacuum disk can easily come off the glass due to differences in temperature between inside and outside the windscreen. Caution : Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Summer precautions
• When the vacuum disk can easily come off the glass due to difference in temperature between inside and outside of the windscreen.
• Remove the vacuum disk and store it separately when parking for a long period of time.
• The built-in battery may be damaged when kept under direct sunlight in the car for a long period of time due to internal temperature rise. Separate the unit and store it in a cool place. A temperature rise can reduce the battery life span or cause an explosion.
13
Safety note
• Never leave your unit/accessories (including windshield mount, car charger etc) visible in an unattended vehicle, since it’s an easy target for thieves.
• Back up your data using our provided software in the CD.
• In order to protect the screen and the unit, always store it in the carry case.
• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any other devices since the memory card could be damaged.
• The unit has to be outdoors to locate the current position from satellite. It could take few minutes to locate your position when you start it for the first time. If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure there aren’t any tall trees or buildings around you.
• When installing the unit, make sure that it does not block the view on the windscreen. Make sure that unit does not interfere with the safety operations of the vehicle when installed. Eg. Deployment of air bags or other safety equipments.
• The unit could require the external antenna kit if the vehicle has the heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield which may prevent the unit from locating the current position. The external antenna kit is available as an optional accessory.
• The instructions are not 100% correct, so only use it to aid you finding the destination. Map data is updated annually, so it can be different to the actual road if there are changes during that period.
• The unit is designed to provide you with route suggestions, so it does not reflect road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions or other factors that may affect safety or timing while driving.

suction-cup mount is fastened with double-sided
tape.

Installing the external GPS antenna (Optional)

This unit has a built-in GPS antenna to receive the satellite signals. The external GPS antenna is sold separately and may improve the receiving condition of satellite signals when the signals are poor.

Connecting devices
When Installing the antenna inside the vehicle (on the dashboard or shelf)
Affix the external GPS antenna on as level a surface as possible where the external GPS antenna faces outside the window. (The GPS antenna is fastened with a double-sided tape.)
Make sure the surface is free of moisture, dust, grime, oil, etc., before affixing the sheet.
The double-sided tape contains a strong adhesive and may leave a mark on the dashboard if removed.
Some vehicles use window glass that does not allow signals from GPS satellites to pass through. On such vehicles, install the GPS antenna on the outside of the vehicle.
When installing the antenna outside the vehicle (on the body)
Place the external GPS antenna in a position as level as possible, such as on the roof or trunk lid.
(The GPS antenna is fastened with a magnet.)
When routing the lead in from the top of the door
Make a U-shaped loop in the lead on the outside to prevent rainwater from flowing along the lead into the interior of the vehicle. (The GPS antenna is fastened with a magnet.)
