Before You Start

※ Precautions and Notices

※ DO NOT ADJUST THE “NAVI PATH” UNDER “SETTINGS” UNLESS YOU

NEED TO SWITCH IT TO OVERSEAS MAP.

※ Use this product prudently. The product is designed to be use only as a

navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography.

※ The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to follow

the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.

※ When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard that is

subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the battery can cause malfunction and/or danger.

※ 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.

※ GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When

you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available. Tinted window, solar film or any form of sticker on the front windscreen will affect the performance of the GPS satellite reception. It will take slightly longer time than usual to fix your position.

※ 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).

※ GPS signal will be affected under bad weather condition.

※ A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. It is recommended that

you place the device in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver’s

view, or deployment of airbags.

※ When battery run out, the device will automatically turn off the power. Kindly

plug the cigarette car charger to power it up.

※ Overview

GPS Navigation Features

※ Preloaded with Galactio SLA (Singapore Land Authority) and

Malaysia Maps provided by Malfreemaps (MFM).

※ GPS positioning ※ Optimal route calculation and trip plan ※ Friendly and efficient navigation with turn-by-turn, voice, and visual

guidance

※ Fastest way for searching a location on the map for both Singapore

and Malaysia under Quick Search

- You may key in any of the alternatives here: Address/Postal Code/POI

- Using the “globe” icon located at the bottom of the page to filter out unnecessary locations. (e.g. Selecting EAST area as your searching option and key in KFC, GPS will only list out all the KFC in the east area.)

- Search using Malfreemaps (MFM) for a much more detail map in both West and East Malaysia. For example, You are looking for MAKA GPS Technologies Sdn. Bnd. in Malaysia. 8A Jalan Harmonium 23/13, Johor Bahru, Johor Malaysia 81100.

- First, switch map to Malaysia/Singapore MFM. Under quick search, press on the “globe” icon to filter out the areas that are not required. Please take note, only street names can be found in the GPS. In this case, Jalan Harmonium 23/13 is the street name. Johor Bahru is the name of a city. And Johor is one of the state in Malaysia. Once, all of these are done, you may enter your street name.

Page 4

※ Various ways for searching a location on the map under Destination

mode

- Using a known “Address” (e.g. Alexandra Road, Hougang Avenue 8, Jalan Bukit Bintang)

- Using POI (e.g. KFC, McDonalds, Holland Village, NEX Serangoon, and Takashimaya). You may use the “globe” icon at the bottom of the page to filter out unnecessary locations to minimize the time of searching.

- Using POI icon such “Restaurant”, “Building”, “Shopping” to locate the nearest point of interest near your current location.

- Using Favorites (personal stored locations)

- Using History (previous destinations)

※ Please refer to “Galactio Instruction Manual” stored inside the

SD card /or CD for a detail instruction on using the navigation software.

※ Viewing modes for different needs and situations:

- 2D or 3D (3D Landmark and Junction View)

- Daytime or night-time view

- Turn-by-turn view of the route

Important Notes for Use in a Vehicle

● Take care that the holder does not present any risk to safety, even in the

case of an accident, when installing it.

● Take care that the holder does not impede any safety components.

● The display of your navigation system may show “light re-flexions”. Please

take care of not being “blinded” during operation.

● Do not mount the components within the operating range of any airbags.

● Check the secure adherence of the suction cup at regular intervals.

● The power plug will consume power, even if no device is connected.

Remove it when not in use to avoid draining the battery.

● Check all safety equipment in your car after installation.

Connecting the Car Charger

The car charger supplies power to your device when you are using the device in a car.

※CAUTION : To protect your device against sudden surges in current,

connect the car charger only after the car engine has been started.

NOTE: Depending upon the specific model purchased, the car holder supplied with your device may not look exactly the same as the picture

1. Navigation The navigator offers the route for the reference; determine the route by yourself, the driver may be more familiar with the route than GPS navigator.

2. Receiving signal Many factors such as high, dense buildings (in the tunnel, between the high building, underground parking, under the trestle), various weather condition, and closure of the satellite will affect the ability to receive signal so as to result in inaccurate position, inefficiency of navigation operation and system function.

Maintenance of GPS navigator

GPS navigator will be a reliable navigation and entertainment companion if protected by right methods. Please follow the instructions below to ensure your GPS run smoothly for a long time.

Protect screen: Don’t press the screen with strength or you will destroy it. Please use the stylus to operate the navigator and spray a little glass cleaner on the soft cloth to clean the screen, don’t spray on the screen directly. 【Note】 Be sure to turn off the GPS navigator before cleaning. √ Drop or strike will cause damage to high-precision components. 【Note】Accidental damage is beyond our responsibilities. √ Don’t use it under such environment: Temperature change abruptly (high temperature above 60°, low temperature under-10°), high voltage, dusty, electrostatic interference, avoid any corrosive liquid and dip into any liquid.

√ Avoid radiated interference: The radiated interference from other electronic

products will affect the display and it will be normal after suppressing the interference source. 【Note】If you carry the unit by air, please put the GPS together with your luggage to pass the X-ray detection system. Avoid scanning by the magnetic head detector (at the passage used for passing) or the magnetic bar (held by the security checker), or it will destroy the system date in the unit. We will take no responsibility for it.  Avoid direct, intense light: Don’t use the GPS navigator in high light and

ultraviolet radiation in order to increase the using life.
