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 do not typically pass through solid materials such as
brick, concrete, or lead-coated safety glass. When inside a tunnel, building or
under-ground parking structures, GPS positioning will not typically be
available.
z A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals are typically needed to determine your
GPS position. Signal reception can be affected by dense overhead structures,
severe weather, geographic location or time of day.
z Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of
satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.
z Your GPS device is always tracking your location (you are the green arrow)
when the navigation software is running and GPS signal is available. Your
GPS device is not designed to broadcast its location; therefore it can not be
tracked by anyone else.
vii
z A device 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.

1.3 Connecting to AC Power and Charging the
Battery
When charging the battery for the very first time, you should charge it for at least
8 hours.
1. Slide and click the connector converter onto the AC adapter.
2. Connect the adapter cable to the bottom of your device.
3. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
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 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.
z Depending on your region of purchase, the connector converter may not look exactly the
same as the picture shown.
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 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.
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.
7
1.5 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 Cradle
Use the cradle and the stand to fix your device in a vehicle.
GPS antenna
Connecting the Car Charger
The car charger supplies power and charges your device at the same time. If the
battery is fully charged, you can use the battery power without connecting the
charger. If you don’t want to drain the battery power, you can keep the car charger
connected while in a vehicle.
CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car charger
only after the car engine has been started.
8
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.
Connecting the TMC Antenna
A TMC antenna is provided with your cradle. You must attach the antenna to the
back of the TMC cradle in order to receive real-time driving traffic information.
CAUTION: Keep the antenna cord fairly straight (not curled or bent) for best reception.
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.)
