Home charger-specific safety information

To charge your Mio from the mains power, use the home charger (Model: PSAA10R-050; Input: 100-240V AC 50-60Hz; Output: 5V2A) supplied by Mio as an accessory (may be sold separately). Using other home chargers with your Mio could result in serious injury or property damage.

Never use the charger if the plug or cord is damaged.

Do not expose the charger to moisture or water. Do not use the charger in a high moisture environment. Exposure to water may cause electrical sparks or fires.

Never touch the charger when your hands or feet are wet.

Allow adequate ventilation around the charger when using it to operate your Mio or charge the internal battery. Do not cover the charger with paper or other objects that will reduce ventilation. Do not use the charger while it is inside a carrying case or other container.

Ensure that the charger is connected to a power source with the correct fitting and voltage requirements. The voltage requirements can be found on the home charger casing and/or packaging.

Do not attempt to service the charger as this could result in personal injury. Replace the charger if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.

Internal battery-specific safety information

Your Mio contains a non-replaceable internal lithium-ion battery. The battery may burst or explode if mishandled, releasing hazardous chemicals. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush or puncture the battery.

Recycle or dispose of the battery safely and properly according to local laws and regulations. Do not dispose of the battery in fire or water.

Warning

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.

Installing the external antenna

An external antenna may be supplied with your Mio for better signal reception.

Connect the external antenna to the connector for external antenna on your Mio, then attach the antenna to the windshield (as shown in the diagram).

If you are in an area with very poor signal reception, try placing the antenna outside of the car.

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

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 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.

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.

 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 authorised service centre for assistance.
