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
the 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 with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free 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

How do I use the Map
How do I navigate with 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 satelite
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.
How do I view my GPS status?
You can view your GPS status at any time from the map screens or the Viewfinder screen. displays green
when a GPS fix is established and red when a GPS fix is unavailable. To indicate the reception strength of a GPS fix,
displays between one and four green vertical bars.
