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
Page 8
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

Page 13
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.

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

7 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
This chapter gives solutions to common problems you may encounter. It also
provides guidelines on taking care of your device.
Maintenance
NOTE: If you encounter a problem you cannot solve, contact your dealer for assistance.
7.1 Resetting Your System
Resetting your system is similar to restarting your computer.
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. For example, you should reset
your system when it stops responding; in other words, it appears to be “frozen”
or “locked up.”
To reset your system, use the stylus to press the Reset Button on the side of your
device.

Page 56
7.2 Clearing the Memory
NOTE (for Mio 268 Only): Clearing the memory will cause the navigation software to lose.
You must insert the Mio Map card to perform the automatic installation. In case the data in
the Mio Map card is lost or damaged, perform the “Recover” procedure. (See Section 5.5 for
information.)
If your device still does not respond after being reset, you can use the following
steps to clear the memory.
1. Disconnect all cables, including the AC adapter, from your device.
2. Use the stylus to slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF (left) position.
3. For Mio 268 only: Insert the Mio Map card to your device.
4. Wait for 1 minute and then slide the switch back to the ON (right) position.
Wait for 1 minute.
5. Your device will perform the initial start up. (See Section 1.1 for

7.4 Maintaining Your Device
Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce
the risk of damage to your device.
Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on top of your
device.
Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This
could cause moisture condensation inside the unit that could damage your
device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow you device to dry out
completely.
Take care not to sit on your device when it is located in the back pocket of
trousers, etc.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Use only the stylus to tap on the
screen. Avoid touching it with your fingers, pens, pencils or any other sharp
objects.
Never clean your device with its power on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth
moistened with water to wipe the screen and the exterior of your device.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your
device. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause
damage to your device and even bodily injury or property damage.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as your device, its parts or accessories.
