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.
iii
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

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
Depending on the model you purchased, a device cradle or a TMC cradle is
supplied. 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 (for select models only), 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.)
