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).The usage of sun film also degrades GPS signal
. 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.
.Considering the hot weather conditions in India especially during summer,
when car is parked which means AC in car is also not operative, the
temperature inside in car easily goes above 55C.Keeping the device at such
high temperature for prolong period of time may effect the device and it's
battery. Hence it is strictly advisable to take the device along with you in
such conditions.
