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 wireless devices might interfere the reception of satellite signals and
cause the reception of the signal to be unstable. For better signal reception,
it is recommended that you use car antenna (option).
v
A car holder is needed when using the device in car. It is recommended that
you place the device in the appropriate place and avoid the areas as the
figure shows.
Do not mount where the driver’s field
of vision is blocked.
Do not place unsecured on the
dashboard.
Do not mount in front of airbag
panels.
Do not mount in front of an airbag
field of deployment.

Converte
The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Do not
disconnect your device from AC power until the battery is fully charged, as
indicated by the amber indicator turning into green. This will take a couple of
hours.
NOTE:
When you connect the AC adapter to charge the battery after the battery power has
been fully depleted, wait for at least one minute before turning on the device.
Depending on your region of purchase, the converter may not look exactly the same as
the picture shown.

1.3 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
A car holder and a car charger are supplied with your device.
Using the Car Holder
CAUTION:
Select an appropriate location for the car holder. Never place the holder where the
driver’s field of vision is blocked.
If the car’s windshield has window tint, it is recommended that you use a car antenna
(optional) to route the antenna to the top of the car through the window. When closing
the car window, be careful not to pinch the antenna. (For a car with the anti-jam design,
the window will automatically leave space.)
The car holder consists of a bracket and a stand. Use the car holder to fix the
device near the windshield. (See the document supplied with the car holder for
the installation instruction.)
NOTE: This car holder shown is an example only. Your car holder may not look exactly the
same as this one.

Connecting the Car Charger
r
The car charger supplies power to your device when you are using the device in
a car.
CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden current, connect the car charger only
after the car engine has been started.
1. Connect one end of the car charger to the power connector of your device.
2. Connect the other end to the cigarette lighter in the car. The indicator on the
car charger lights in green to indicate that power is being supplied to your
