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, lint­free cloth to wipe the screen and the exterior of your Mio.

• 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.

• Do not expose your Mio to extreme heat or direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Overheating may damage your Mio.

Resetting the device

Occasionally, you may need to perform a hardware reset when
your Mio stops responding; or appears to be “frozen” or “locked­up.” Press and hold the POWER button and START/STOP button
at the same time.

power.

The remaining battery power may be too low to
run your Mio. Charge the battery.

to a high-enough brightness.

Make sure that your Mio and your computer
are both turned on before trying to establish a
connection.
Make sure that the cable is securely plugged into
the USB port on your computer and on your Mio.
Connect the USB cable directly to your computer
— do not run the cable through a USB hub.
Restart your Mio before connecting the cable.
Always disconnect your device before you restart
your computer.

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 utilised 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Mio products are designed to be used as an aid to safer
driving. Mio does not condone speeding or any other failure
to comply with your local traffic laws. It is your responsibility
to drive within the posted speed limit at all times and to drive
in a careful manner. Mio accepts NO liability whatsoever for
you receiving any speeding fines or points on your license
through using this device. Mio does not guarantee the
accuracy of the data contained within this database either
expressed or implied. In the event you receive a fine or any
other penalty for speeding or contravention of any traffic
law, or are involved in an accident, Mio is not responsible
for any damages of any type. In some countries the data
information regarding speed limits may conflict with local law
and/or regulations. It is your responsibility to make sure that
your use of the data is in compliance with local laws and/or
regulations. Usage is at your own risk.

• Do not operate the device while driving or riding a bike.

30

Using this product does not change the requirement for a

driver or a bike rider to take full responsibility for his or her
behaviour. This responsibility includes observing all traffic
rules and regulations in order to avoid accidents, personal
injury or property damage.

IPX7

The IEC 60529/IPX7 is a European system of test specification
standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by
the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation
means that the unit withstands immersion in one meter (approx
3ft) of still water for up to 30 minutes. Mio guarantees this grade
provided the battery door and all jack covers are properly and
securely closed. Mio Cyclo is not IPX8 grade; water-pressure
such as washing the unit with running water may cause damage
to the unit and voids warranty. Because of possible userresealing
error, this product is not warranted against waterproof housing
leakage or any resulting damage. Please make sure the
waterproof cover is tightly closed before using the product.
