Map and Music Mode

The unit has two main modes of operation: Map Mode and Music Mode.
To switch between these two modes, press the

MAP/MUSIC button located

on the right side of the unit.

In Map Mode you can drag the map across the screen to focus on a spe­cific area or point to a nearby restaurant to get detailed information
and navigate to it. Since the touch screen responds to pressure, you will
have to actually push against the screen to scroll the map.

In Music Mode touch the play control buttons to start and stop music or
skip among songs. To use Music Mode you will need to copy music files
to the unit. The iWAY package includes a USB-PC cable so the unit can
be connected to a home computer. Use care when connecting or discon­necting the USB-PC cable from your home computer. The unit can play
both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis music files.

Caution:

Use a microfiber towel to clean the unit's touch screen. Other
cleaning materials could damage the screen – damage that is
not covered by this product's warranty.

Mounting Instructions

The iWAY package includes a flexible, quick release arm mount. The
flexible arm mount is used to secure the unit to glass or other smooth
surfaces.

The flexible arm mount allows you to make non-mar installations with-

r

out drilling, screws or permanent adhesives. Since the mount is port­able, it's easy to transfer the GPS unit to another vehicle.

WARNING:

When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must
avoid any installation that obscures important instru­ments and controls or restricts the driver's view through
the vehicle's windows. Avoid placing the GPS where it
could be propelled by an activated airbag. Some states
restrict mounting any electronic device in any location
on an automobile dash or windshield.

Be sure to check your local laws before using these
mounts. Be sure to check the suction mount for ade­quate adhesion each time you use the unit and reinstall
it if necessary. This is a portable mounting device and
the normal heating and cooling cycle of a car's interior
will eventually loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could
allow the unit to fall or come loose during vehicle opera­tions.

Installing the flexible suction cup mount

The suction cup base and arm can be adjusted to a position that best
suits your vehicle. The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil.
While you can attach the flexible suction cup mount to the windshield
before attaching the unit to the suction cup mount, it may be easier if
the suction cup mount is connected to the unit first. You can then at­tach the entire assembly to the car's windshield.

To attach the flexible suction cup mount to the back of the GPS unit
align the mount with the back of the unit. Place the base of the flexible
suction cup mount against the back of the unit by matching the male
and female connector ends together.

Then snap the mount into place by sliding the flexible suction cup
mount up. Pull down on the flexible suction cup mount to disengage it
from the back of the unit.

The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. Press the suction
cup against the mounting surface and, while maintaining pressure,
push the locking lever down until the arm is secure.

NOTE:

Some areas restrict mounting any electronic device to a dash or
windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before using any elec­tronic mounting device.

by sliding the mounting arm up.

If the suction cup has problems staying secured to the mounting sur­face, clean the mounting surface and the suction cup with alcohol then
reinstall. Moistening the suction cup may help it stick in some cases.
To remove the suction cup base, disengage the locking lever and pull on
the suction release tab to break the vacuum seal.

Adhesive Mounting Plate

In some automobiles a typical windshield mount may be difficult or un­desirable. The flat self-adhesive mounting plate allows you to mount
the unit somewhere else, such as on the dashboard or center console.

shows adhesive pad with paper backing.

The adhesive plate is important in these cases because the suction cup
base will not hold to textured materials covering most dashboards and
center consoles. The plate's smooth, flat surface provides a secure at­tachment for the mount's suction cup, while the plate's adhesive pad
holds the entire assembly in place.

WARNING:

If you use the adhesive mounting plate it may be ex­tremely difficult to remove. If you remove the plate it
could leave remnants of the adhesive pad or you could
damage the surface it was attached to.

Determine Plate Location

Once attached, the plate's adhesive pad is difficult or impossible to re­move. It's important to select the proper location before removing the
adhesive backing. To select a mounting location for the adhesive pad,
connect the GPS unit and mounting arm together. Then attach the
mounting arm's suction cup to the adhesive plate. Hold the entire as­sembly at the desired location to check how it fits. Make sure the flex
arm can be positioned for easy use.
