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 for use solely 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 out of the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard

subjected to direct sunlight. Overheating of the battery can cause 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.

z A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. Be sure that you place

the device in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver’s view, or deployment of airbags.

Do not mount where the driver’s field of vision is blocked.

Do not mount in front of airbag panels.

Do not place unsecured on the dashboard.

Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment.

1.2 Performing the Initial Start Up

1. For the initial start up, press the power button for 5 seconds to turn on your

device.

NOTE: For normal operation, briefly press the power button to turn on and off your device.

2. Your device turns on. Immediately charge your device as described in the

next section.

3. The “Switch Language” screen appears. Tap the arrow button to select the

desired language. Then, tap the

button.

4. The “Date/Time” screen appears. Tap the appropriate arrow button to select

the time zone, date, and time. Then, tap the

button.

5. The Home screen appears. You can now use your device.

1.3 Charging the Battery via the USB Cable

1. Turn on the computer.

2. Connect the mini-USB end of the USB cable to the bottom of your device and

the other end to a USB port on your computer.

3. If your device is on, the screen as shown below appears. Whenever your

device is connected to a computer, you will not be able to use it.

4. The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Do not

disconnect your device from AC power until the battery is fully charged, the charge indicator will turn green. This will take a couple of hours.

NOTE:

z When the device is connected to a computer, it is recognized as an external mass storage

device. Do not delete any files pre-installed in the device. Deleting files of which the function is unknown can cause programs or features to malfunction.

z If you intend to charge your device in this way, turn off your device so that it takes less time

to charge the battery.

CAUTION: For optimal performance of the lithium battery:

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 When storing 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

CAUTION:

z Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device

where the driver’s field of vision is blocked. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky.

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 vehicle through a window. When closing the window, be careful not to pinch the antenna cable.

Using the Device Cradle or TMC Cradle (Purchased Separately)

Use the cradle and the stand to fix your device in a vehicle. (See a separate document for the installation instruction.)

With the TMC cradle (purchased separately), you can connect the TMC antenna to receive radio transmissions that are used to inform drivers of traffic conditions. TMC information is monitored by the navigation software. Once the information is received, you can view it on your device and traffic icons will appear in the map view. Certain roads with reported traffic will be highlighted and you can choose to avoid those roads and an alternate route will be automatically calculated. (See the navigation software manual for detailed information.)

Connecting the Car Charger

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 the cradle.

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.

1.5 Operating Basics

Turning On and Off

For normal operation, turn off the device by briefly pressing the power button. The device enters a suspended state.

When you next briefly press the power button, the system resumes. You will either be back to where you left off or see the Home screen.

NOTE:

z The screen you see after resuming depends on the program you were using when you

suspended the device. Some programs will be closed when you suspend the device, meaning you can only see the Home screen after resuming.

z Pressing the power button for a longer duration has a different effect. See Section 5.1 for

more information.
