WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
Removing original equipment, adding accessories or modifying your vehicle could affect the vehicle’s safety or make it illegal to operate in some jurisdictions.
Follow all product instructions and all instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories or modifications. Consult your country’s and/or state’s laws regarding operation of a vehicle with any accessories or modifications. It is your sole responsibility to place, secure and use your Mio in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or
property damage. Always observe safe driving practices. Do not mount your Mio in a way that may interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle, the deployment of air bags or other
safety equipment. Do not operate your Mio while driving. Before you use your Mio for the first time, familiarize yourself with your device and its operation. On main roads, the distance to an exit calculated by your Mio may be further than the distance shown on road signs. Road signs
show the distance to the start of an exit while your Mio shows the distance to the next intersection, i.e., the end of the exit ramp or road. To prepare to exit a road, always follow distance information on road signs.
The use of information regarding safety or speed camera locations may be subject to local laws in the country of use. You are responsible for checking that you can legally use the information in your country or in the country where the information will be used.
Do not handle your Mio while it is hot. Let the product cool, out of direct sunlight. At full power, prolonged listening to your Mio via headphones or earphones can damage the ear of the user.
Do not expose your Mio to direct sunlight in an unattended vehicle for prolonged periods. Overheating may damage the unit.

CAUTION:

How do I charge the battery?

The battery may not be fully charged when you use your Mio for the first time.
For optimal performance of the battery, note the following:
Do not charge the battery when the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight). There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. When leaving your Mio for long periods, turn off your Mio to save battery power.
How do I charge the battery in a vehicle?
To charge your Mio in a vehicle, plug the in-car charger into on the mount and the other end into the vehicle power socket.

Reference

What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge, and is accurate to within 5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around 20,200km (12,552mi). Each satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilized by GPS receivers, such as your Mio, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide a position or "GPS fix" (latitude and longitude), for vehicle navigation systems.
How does my Mio receive GPS signals?
Your Mio receives GPS signals via the internal GPS antenna. To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your Mio is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors, and has an unobstructed view of the sky. GPS reception is not usually affected by weather, however, very heavy rain or snow may have a negative effect on your reception.
Caring for your Mio
Taking good care of your Mio will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage to your Mio:
Keep your Mio away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing your Mio to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Do not place anything on top of your Mio or drop objects on your Mio. Do not drop your Mio or subject it to severe shock. Do not subject your Mio to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could cause moisture
condensation inside the unit, which could damage your Mio. In the event of moisture condensation, allow your Mio to dry out completely before use.
The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp objects. Non-adhesive generic
screen protectors designed specifically for use on portable devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the screen from minor scratches.
Never clean your Mio when it is turned on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen and the exterior of
your Mio.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen. Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your Mio. Disassembly, modification
or any attempt at repair could cause damage to your Mio and even bodily injury or property damage and will void any warranty.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as your
Mio, its parts or accessories.

Problems
Solutions
Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem you cannot solve, contact an authorized service centre for assistance.
Your Mio does not turn on when using battery power.
The remaining battery power may be too low to operate your Mio. Charge the battery using the in-car charger, home charger (may be sold separately) or USB cable (may be sold separately), then try again.
Screen responds slowly. The remaining battery power may be too low to operate your Mio. If
the problem still persists, reset your Mio.
Screen freezes. Reset your Mio.
Screen is hard to read. Increase the screen brightness.
Cannot establish a connection with a computer.
Ensure that your Mio and your computer are both turned on before trying to establish a connection.
Make sure that the cable is securely plugged into the USB port on your computer and on your Mio. Connect the USB cable (may be sold separately) directly to your computer, not a USB hub.
Reset your Mio before connecting the USB cable (may be sold separately). Always disconnect your Mio before you restart your computer.
