Important safety information

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. To discourage theft, do not leave your Mio, mounting bracket or any cables in plain
view in an unattended vehicle.

Precautions

Failure to adhere to these warnings and cautions may lead to death, serious injury or property damage. Mio disclaims all liability for installation or use of your Mio that causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law.

Recording your driving

Precautions and notices

Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reflective material
appears near the lens. Please keep the lens clean.
If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a coating, it may impact the recording quality. Minor accidents may not trigger automatic recording. To ensure the optimal recording angle, pay attention to the following:
Make sure that your car is parked on a level ground. When adjusting the angle of mounting, make sure that the camera’s view is parallel
with the level ground, and the ground:sky ratio is close to 6:4.
To make sure of the correct date and time for your recordings, please make sure that
the device has already gotten a GPS fix before you begin recording. The date and time will display on the top-right corner of the recording screen.
Make sure that the recording-specific MicroSD card (a Class 6 memory card with at
least 8GB capacity) has been inserted into the memory card slot for recording on the top of the device. When you use a new MicroSD card for recording for the first time, the system will automatically format the card to make it recording-specific.

Making a recording

A recording can be triggered when:
an AC power source is connected to the device that has been turned on. an event happens (such as sudden impact, high-speed driving, an overdone turn
or an accidental crash) for the G sensor to prompt the device to start recording automatically.
you tap on the Main Menu or on the Map screen.
The recording proceeds in a continuous mode and is divided into several temporary video clips (segments). The recording will not stop between video clips. If continuous recording is ongoing but there is not enough space on your memory card, new video clips will replace the old ones.
REC
The recording length (for example,

) shows on the upper-right corner.
37
To stop or restart the continuous recording, tap anywhere on the recording screen and then tap .
Note: When an AC power source is disconnected from the device, the recording will automatically stop.

Locking a temporary video clip

You can lock and save a temporary video clip so that it will not be replaced in continuous recording. A video clip is locked when:
you press the video lock button on the top of the device.
you tap anywhere on the recording screen and then tap . an accident triggers automatic recording.
The locked video clips may be identified with various icons, depending on how they are triggered.

Playback mode

To switch to the playback mode, tap anywhere on the recording screen and then tap . The screen displays the latest recording.

Mio Player

Mio Player is a tool for you to view and manage the videos recorded by Mio Combo 5107 LM on your computer.
Note: Mio Player allows you to view, but not copy or move the videos. Note: Your computer may need certain codecs to play the videos. If needed, you can search online
to install the required codecs.
To access the recording files, do one of the following:
Remove the recording-specific MicroSD card from your device and access the card on
the computer via a card reader.
Move the recording-specific MicroSD card to the memory card slot for data on the left
side of your device. Then connect the device to your computer via a USB cable.
Then run the MioPlayer.exe file from the recording-specific MicroSD card.

About the video files and video groups:
A video group is the combination of continuous video clips. A new video group is created when there is a 2-second time difference between 2
video clips.
A video clip is separated from a video group when it is locked manually during
recording.
In the video clip list, the files are identified with serial numbers: Gx-xx (Gx: group
number; xx: video's serial number).
39
The locked video clips may be identified with various icons, depending on how they
are triggered.
Note: A video clip is displayed as a damaged group if the MicroSD card is removed suddenly or power failure happens during recording.

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.
67
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.
