Precautions and Notices
z For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.
z 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.
z The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to
follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.
z When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard that is

malfunction and/or danger.
z 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.
z GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When
you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available.
z 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).
z Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of
satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.

CAUTION: For optimal performance of the lithium battery, take note of the following:
z Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
z There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can charge the battery
before it is discharged.
z If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the
battery at least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the
charging performance.
1.4 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
A car holder and a car charger are supplied with your device.
Using the Car Holder
CAUTION:
z Select an appropriate location for the car holder. Never place the holder where the driver’s
field of vision is blocked.
z 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 stand.
Use the car holder to fix your device in a
vehicle. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a
clear view of the sky. (See the document
supplied with the car holder for the installation
instruction.)
For initial positioning, 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.
NOTE: Depending upon the specific model purchased, the car holder supplied with your
device may not look exactly the same as the picture shown.
