Mounting your Mio in a vehicle

CAUTION:

 Never mount your Mio where the driver’s field of vision is blocked.
 If the windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic and impact the GPS reception. In

this instance, please mount your Mio where there is a “clear area” - usually just beneath the rear-view
mirror.

 To protect your Mio against sudden surges in current, connect the in-car charger only after the car engine

has been started.

7

Enabling Traffic (TMC) Reception

Traffic information is available in selected models and countries only.

Depending on the model of your Mio you can receive live traffic information in one of two ways:

 If your Mio has a built-in TMC receiver, you can receive live traffic information* via the in-car charger

which is used as an antenna.

 If your Mio does not have a built-in TMC receiver, you will need to install the TMC accessory kit (may be

sold separately - see www.mio.com

For information on using traffic information on your Mio, see the Software User Manual.

* Subs

cription may be required. See www.mio.com

for details).

How do I turn on my Mio?

Using the power button

For the initial start-up, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on your device.

For normal operation, turn off the device by briefly pressing the power button. Your Mio will enter a suspended
state. When you next briefly press the power button, your Mio will return to the Main Menu.

To turn off your Mio, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.

Resetting the device

Occasionally, you may need to perform a hardware reset when your Mio stops responding; or appears to be
“frozen” or “locked-up.” Insert a small rod, such as a straightened paperclip, into the reset button of your
device.

10

How do I charge the battery?

The battery may not be fully charged when you use your Mio for the first time.

CAUTION: For optimal performance of the battery, note the following:

 Do not charge the battery when the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
 There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging.
 When leaving your Mio for long periods, turn off your Mio to save battery power.

The battery indicator light on your Mio indicates the level of internal battery charge:

 Green - battery full

 Orange - battery charging

How do I charge the battery in a vehicle?

To charge your Mio in a vehicle, plug the in-car charger into on the left side of your Mio and the other
end into the vehicle power socket.

How do I charge the battery via my computer?

For optimal charging results, ensure that your Mio is turned off while connected to your computer.

1. Turn on your computer.

2. Plug the large end of the USB cable (may be sold separately) directly into a USB port on your computer
(not a USB hub) and plug the small end into

on the left side of your Mio.

CAUTION: When your Mio is turned on and connected to a computer, it is recognized as an external
mass-storage device. Do NOT delete any files that are pre-installed on your Mio. Deleting the files can cause
your Mio to crash

11

How do I charge the battery at home or work?

You can use an optional home charger to charge the battery.

To charge your Mio using a mains power socket, plug the home charger cable into

on the left side of your

Mio and the mains power charger into the power socket.

The home charger is not included with all models and may be purchased separately (see www.mio.com for

details).

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.

 Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.

13 14

 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.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter a problem you cannot solve, contact an authorized service centre for assistance.

Problems Solutions

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 (may be sold
separately) directly to your computer, not a USB hub.

Reset your Mio before connecting the USB cable (may be sold
separately). Always disconnect your Mio before you restart your
computer.

IQ Routes™ and LearnMe™

IQ Routes™ is available in selected models and countries only.

Your Mio features IQ Routes, which intelligently anticipates congested roads at peak times so that they can be
avoided. Your Mio does this by using historical, anomalised data from millions of fellow drivers. Since IQ Routes
helps you automatically avoid predicted heavy congestion, you will be able to save time and money during your
journeys.

With LearnMe technology, your Mio includes an intelligent capability that learns and adapts to your personal
driving style. Over time, your Mio learns your preference for road types and driving speeds, turns and more.
Your Mio will save the information and provide a more personalised route and accurate time of arrival the next
time you plan a trip.

When you restore factory defaults, your LearnMe profile will be cleared form the device.

How do I receive current traffic information via TMC?

Traffic information is available in selected models and countries only.

Your Mio can receive current traffic information for all main roads and motorways, enabling you to avoid
potential delays on your route. Event messages and traffic icons will display as they occur. If an event message
obscures your current location, the map will adjust to display both the message and your location.

How does my Mio receive traffic information?

Depending on your model, you may receive current traffic information on your Mio using the built-in TMC
receiver or via the Mio traffic accessory kit. The traffic accessory kit may be sold separately.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic information via the FM Radio Data System
(RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with hundreds of events able to be
broadcast to TMC receivers.

You have to pay for TMC service in some models and in some countries.

How will I know when a Traffic Event occurs?

When travelling through an area in which you can receive traffic updates, your Mio will decode these events and
display them on-screen. An icon will display at the event location on the map screens, and an audible warning is
given if an event is on your route. Where an event spans a specific distance, the road will be highlighted and
arrows will indicate the direction affected.

A message will display at the bottom of the screen with the road name, the section of road affected and the
type of event that has occurred. The message remains on screen for 8 seconds and is added to the Event list.

Traffic Overview screen

Depending on your Mio model, traffic information may not be available, may require a subscription, or

may require the Traffic Accessory Kit (may be sold separately).

When you see the traffic event message on your driving map screen, you can open the Traffic Overview screen
to display a general overview of the traffic situation on your route, including all events in the immediate
vicinity.
