Before You Begin
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).
Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of
satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.

1 Getting Started
This chapter tells you step by step how to perform the initial startup and introduces
the components of your device.
1.1 Performing the Initial Start Up
1. Pull out the stylus and use it to slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON (right)
position.
CAUTION: Always leave the ON/OFF switch in the ON position for normal operation.
2. Your device turns on and displays the “Switch Language” screen. You can tap
the left/right arrow to select a language if your region of purchase is a country
with multiple languages. Tap

Charge Indicato
The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Do not disconnect
your device from AC power until the battery is fully charged, when the charge
indicator turns green. This will take a couple of hours.
NOTE:
When charging the battery for the very first time, you should charge it for at least 8 hours.
Do not immediately turn on your device after connecting the AC adapter to charge a
power-depleted battery. If you need to turn on the device again, wait for at least one
minute.
Depending on your region of purchase, the connector converter may not look exactly the
same as the picture shown.

Page 16
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 is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna (optional) may
be needed to route the antenna to the top of the car through a window. When closing the
car window, be careful not to pinch the antenna cable. (Cars with an anti-jam window
design may automatically leave adequate space as needed.)
The car holder consists of a bracket and a flexible window mount. Use the car
holder to fix your device in a vehicle. (See the document supplied with the car
holder for the installation instruction.)
NOTE: Depending upon the specific model purchased, the car holder supplied with your
device may not look exactly the same as the picture shown.

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 surges in 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 to power and charge
your device. The indicator on the car charger lights in green to indicate that
power is being supplied to your device.

4 Mio Map Overview
Mio Map is a full-featured mobile satellite navigation software. Utilizing the
onboard GPS (Global Positioning System), Mio Map can pinpoint your location
and give accurate directions to your destinations with turn-by-turn, voice, and
visual guidance.
NOTE: In case the map data or Mio Map software in the hard drive is lost or damaged, you
can use the Recover tool to restore. (See section 11.5 for instructions.)
4.1 Navigation Terminology
Get familiar with some terminology used by Mio Map and you are ready to start.
GPS
Route
Origin
Destination
Destinate
Navigation
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a “constellation” of 24
well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible
for vehicles/people/assets enabled with GPS antennas to
pinpoint their location.
Route is a course calculated by Mio Map, starting from the
origin to the destination.
Origin is your starting point for a route. It is either your GPS
position or a location selected by you on the map.
Destination is your end point for a route.
Destinate is the menu that provides you with several ways of
selecting a location, including Address, POI, Favorites and
History.
Navigation is the process where Mio Map leads you from your
origin to your destination.
29
Page 40
Navigate
Navigate is the command that you use, after determining the
origin and destination, to calculate a route and start navigation.
Navigation mode
vs.
Planner mode
Mio Map can operate in either of the two modes:
Navigation Mode
This is the default mode of operation. In this mode, GPS
positioning is on. A blue route with a moving icon shows
your progress.
Planner Mode
In this mode, GPS positioning is off. Mio Map displays
planned calculated routes, but not your progress.
Vehicle mode
vs.
Walker mode
Mio Map can operate in either of the two travel modes:
Vehicle Mode
This is the default travel mode. An icon of green car
indicates your GPS position on the map.
Walker Mode
This mode is ideal when you are walking instead of driving.
In this mode, an icon of footsteps indicates your GPS
position. Several functions are closed while in this mode.
4.2 Starting Mio Map
1. Make sure that either the external power is available or the battery has power.
2. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky.
3. Press the power button to turn on your device. If you see another program
screen (such as MP3 player), exit the program to go back to the Home screen.
4. Tap the
Navigator button on the Home screen to start the Mio Map navigation
program.
NOTE: Whenever you start Mio Map, an agreement screen appears. Tap Agree or press the
Back key to use Mio Map.
30

5. When you start Mio Map for the very first time, the default map in use is

twice and
6. After the map is loaded, GPS positioning automatically starts. Once the system
has a fix on your position, you will see a green car icon
on the map
indicating your current position.
NOTE:
For initial positioning, make sure that you remain at the same spot with a clear view of the
sky. The GPS may take a few minutes to find its current location initially.
The descriptions above assume that you are in the default Navigation mode (for Planner
mode, see section 6.5) and Vehicle mode (for Walker mode, see section 6.1).

5 Basic Navigation
For Mio Map to calculate a route, you need an origin (starting point) and a
destination (end point). Then, you can start your journey with Mio Map guiding
you along the roads.
NOTE: This chapter assumes that you are in the default Navigation and Vehicle mode. To
know how to use the other modes (Planner mode and Walker mode), see sections 6.5 and 6.1
respectively.
5.1 Selecting an Origin
By default, you origin is your GPS position.
5.2 Selecting a Destination
You can easily select a destination from any of the followings:
A known address, intersection, or zip code
A Point Of Interest (POI) from the list
A location in Favorites (personal stored locations)
An address in History (previous destinations)
A location on the map (with stylus taps)
Home (predefined location)
NOTE: If there are roads that you want Mio Map to avoid when calculating a route, use the
Avoid Roads function. (See section 6.2 for instructions.)
