1 – Introduction
Welcome to the world of mobile navigation! With the Phone-Based Navigation System T815
featuring MOTONAV™ and Bluetooth® technology, you can steer into a new era of mobile navigation.
Simple operation, clear maps in 2D or 3D mode, as well as numerous innovative features and functions
make the T815 the essential navigation aid for every traveler – whether in the car or on foot.
What is MOTONAV?
MOTONAV is a unique route guidance software package that uses both GPS satellites for position data
and MOTONAV’s service center for traffic congestion data (when available). GPS data is obtained with the
wireless GPS receiver, traffic data is obtained from the MOTONAV service center via your phone, and map
information is stored on the included memory card. Together, MOTONAV calculates the optimal route to
your destination.
Any turn is okay with MOTONAV. You can deviate from your planned route at any time. For example, you
can avoid traffic, detour around road blocks, or take an alternate road. MOTONAV recalculates your route
from your current location.
MOTONAV optimizes your route based on local traffic conditions (where available) and guides you around
traffic jams wherever it is practical. Easy to understand direction symbols and pleasant voice instructions
guide you to your destination.
MOTONAV’s output takes the form of: Maps, Voice alerts, Voice prompts, and Visual alerts:
• Maps are used to show your current location and to show where you are going.
• Voice alerts are used to warn you when certain events happen or thresholds are exceeded.
(Example: “You have exceeded the speed limit!” or “GPS is not available!”).
• Voice Prompts are used to tell you when and where to perform an action (Example: “In 200 yards
turn right”).
• Visual alerts are used to warn you of non-critical events. (Example: “Low battery”, “Audio is
muted”, or “Data transfer in process”).
MOTONAV Features
MOTONAV provides the following features:
• Bluetooth Wireless connection from your phone to the GPS receiver
• Turn-by-turn Navigation with voice guidance

4 – Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call Smart
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted
in certain areas. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart for more information.
Your mobile device allows you to communicate by voice and data – almost anywhere, anytime, wherever
wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, remember the following tips:
• Get to know your mobile device and its features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
• When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of convenience to
your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree accessories available today.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile device without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or
going through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility – driving
safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is not moving
or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that can divert your
attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in case of
fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.*
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in
progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.*
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic
accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.*
* Wherever wireless phone service is available.

Safety First
At all times, road traffic regulations have priority over the MOTONAV navigation instructions.
Follow the MOTONAV instructions ONLY if the traffic regulations and the current traffic situation allow it.
Make sure you are always in control of your vehicle in all traffic situations. If you have to make a sudden
turn, DO NOT do so unless it can be done safely. If you can’t make a turn and are forced to deviate from
MOTONAV’s route, MOTONAV will recalculate the route and quickly get you back on course.
Following the MOTONAV instructions is not a substitute for common sense. There is more than one way to
get to a destination. If you are uncomfortable with any situation or route, choose an alternative path.
MOTONAV will adjust to it.
If there is a passenger in the vehicle, have them operate MOTONAV. You (the driver) need to focus solely
on driving. If you must change the MOTONAV settings, please do so only while stationary.

5 – Using Accessories
Important: Read Before Setup
Always use the supplied mounting hardware.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including communication equipment, in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could occur.
Some experimentation may be needed for optimal placement of the GPS receiver. If a GPS lock cannot be
achieved in one location, try moving it to another location and see if better performance can be achieved.
Metal roofs, metalized windows, and window solar shielding can all affect GPS satellite signal strength. If
the front windshield is metalized, the manufacturer may have included a non-metalized spot specifically
for radio equipment. Because of the Bluetooth link, you can also put the GPS receiver in the rear window
if the front window is not satisfactory. The side windows can also be used. Maximum GPS signal strength
is achieved when the GPS receiver is mounted with a clear view of the sky.
Note: GPS performance is degraded in French cars due to windshield coating. It is recommended that you
use the rear window of your car or look for a non-coated area.
When using any of the supplied adhesives, better adhesion can be achieved if the mounting surface is
first cleaned with an appropriate cleaner. A cleansing swab is supplied for this purpose.
The adhesives included to attach items to the dash are very strong and in general are not reusable.
Please take care to get the items in the correct position the first time. Repositioning them once they have
been stuck down is very difficult.
Some states do not allow any obstruction of the driver’s view by objects mounted on the dash or the
window. Please check local regulations before installing accessories in these positions.
All communication equipment must be solidly attached to your vehicle. In case of accidents, anything not
anchored to the vehicle can become a projectile and may cause injury. Always use the supplied mounting
hardware.
Do not mount any device within range of an inflated air bag. Contact your local vehicle dealer if you are
unsure if an airbag can impact your device.
Do not interfere with any airbags. Do not obstruct any views of the driver. Do not mount the GPS
receiver over any heating or cooling vents. The GPS receiver should not be a distraction to the driver.
Mounting the GPS Receiver
The GPS Receiver can be mounted in several ways:
Dash Mount
The dash mount bracket allows the GPS receiver to be mounted to the dash so it does not slide around
during sudden vehicle maneuvers. The GPS receiver can be easily snapped into and out of the dash
mount bracket should you desire to remove it from the vehicle. There are three different ways of
attaching it:
Note: Do not apply any of the adhesive pads directly to the bottom of the GPS receiver. Doing so will
prevent it from fitting into any of the supplied mounting brackets. Before placing the adhesives, please
check that the GPS receiver can achieve a GPS lock in your preferred location. The adhesive pads are not
reusable should you have to move the GPS receiver and it is difficult to remove.

UPH
Release Tab
1. Adhesive: Locate the round adhesive pad. Peel off the backing on one of the adhesive pads
supplied. Attach the adhesive pad to the bottom of the dash mount bracket. Peel off the backing
on the other side of the adhesive pad and firmly stick the dash mount bracket to the dash. For
the strongest signals, choose a spot where the GPS receiver can have a clear view of the sky.
2. Velcro: Locate the supplied round Velcro pad. Peel off the protective backing on one side and
stick the pad to the bottom of the dash mount bracket. Remove the remaining protective backing
and stick the Velcro to the desired spot on the dash. To remove the bracket, separate the Velcro
pad.
3. Friction pad: Locate the friction pad, remove the backing, and stick it to the bottom of the dash
mount. The friction pad allows the GPS receiver to sit on the dash without it sliding around.
Visor Mount and Base
Note: The visor mount and base are only available in North America.
The visor mount comes in two pieces and must be assembled. Locate the visor mount and visor mount
base. Align the arrows on both pieces and slide them until they lock. To attach the GPS receiver, position
the GPS receiver per the sketch on the visor base and slide them together. The GPS receiver can easily
be removed by sliding it off of the mounts and lifting off.
Belt Clip
Note: The belt clip for MOTONAV is only available in Europe.
The GPS receiver can easily be snapped into the belt clip for use outside of a vehicle. Make sure the belt
clip is firmly attached to a belt or strap to avoid dropping it.
Universal Phone Holder (UPH)
The universal phone holder (UPH) is used to hold the phone such that the display is visible to the driver.
It has several ways it can be attached:
1. Gooseneck Mount: The gooseneck mount can be attached to a smooth surface by its suction
cup. Press the suction cup firmly to a smooth surface and push the thumb lever down. Flip the
thumb lever up and pull the tab to release. If needed, the cup can be slightly moistened for better
adhesion. While mostly intended to be mounted to the windshield, a suction cup base is also
provided for mounting the gooseneck to non-smooth surfaces. Locate the suction cup base and
remove the protective covering from the adhesive on the bottom. Press the base firmly down
onto the appropriate location on the dash. The suction cup can then be pressed into the suction
cup base and the lever flipped. Attach the UPH to the other end of the gooseneck by sliding it
over the hooks on the end of the gooseneck.
Suction Cup
Base
2. Adhesive mount: Locate the rectangular adhesive patch. Remove the yellow
backing and press it firmly to the back of the UPH. Remove the green backing and
press the UPH to the desired spot on the dash.
15
3. Velcro mount: Locate the rectangular Velcro patch (supplied). Remove the protective backing
from one side of the patch and press the patch to the bottom of the UPH. Remove the remaining
protective backing and press the UPH to the desired spot. The UPH can then be removed by
separating the Velcro patch.
To insert a phone into the UPH: Push the side release button to expand the side
grippers to their maximum reach. Insert your phone, and gently squeeze the side
grippers until the soft rubber edges grip the phone. Check all of the grippers to see if
they are interfering with any phone buttons. The bottom grippers are movable to fit
around any phone feature that gets in the way. If needed, the bottom grippers can
be removed and re-inserted on the top, and the whole UPH flipped upside down.
Check again for button interference and choose the direction that fits best. There is
a separate, small rubber strap that can then be inserted into the bottom gripper slot
to hold the bottom grippers in place.

7 – GPS Receiver Operating Basics
Connecting the Car Charger
Plug the car charger into any auxiliary power/cigarette lighter jack. Remove the rubber dust cap from the
GPS receiver’s power adapter connector and insert the other end of the charger cord into the connector.
Once the battery has been charged, as indicated by the battery status light turning green, remove the
power connector and replace the dust cap. Note that when the GPS receiver is on, the battery will charge
when a charger is connected, but the status light will not turn green.
Note: Store the GPS battery at room temperature to avoid capacity loss.
Turning the GPS Receiver On and Off
To turn the GPS receiver on, press the power button for longer than 2 seconds. This is indicated by the
battery status light turning on, then the GPS status light, and then the Bluetooth status light. Pressing
the power button for longer than 2 seconds again will turn the receiver off. This is indicated by the
Bluetooth status light turning off, then the GPS status light turning off, and then the battery status light
turning off (the reverse sequence of powering on).
Power Saving Features
Once the Bluetooth link is connected and the GPS receiver has acquired a position fix, the status lights
will turn off after 10 seconds to conserve battery power and to reduce distraction during normal use.
Momentarily pressing the power button will turn them back on to allow you to view the status of the
receiver. If the Bluetooth link is disconnected or if the GPS receiver loses position fix, the LEDs will start
flashing to indicate this condition.
If there is no Bluetooth connection for 1 hour, the GPS receiver will turn off to save battery power. If you
want to use it again, you will have to turn it back on using the power button.
Under normal circumstances, the GPS receiver should get approximately ten hours of life out of one full
charge.
Indicator Lights
Battery Status Light
This light indicates the amount of power left in the battery. A flashing red light means you need to charge
the battery. A green light means the battery is fully charged. An orange light indicates the battery is midway between fully charged and needing a charge.
Plugging in the power adaptor cable will cause the battery status light to remain on in order to show the
state of charge on the battery. A flashing red light will turn solid red when the charger is plugged in.
Unplug the power adaptor cable when the light turns green.
GPS Status Light
The GPS status light will blink orange when it is not locked on to any GPS satellites. A flashing GPS status
light means that your location cannot be determined. If a GPS lock cannot be achieved, you may have to
move the location of your GPS receiver to get a better view of the sky. Indoor operation generally does
not give sufficient signal strength to achieve a GPS lock. Move the receiver to a window for stronger
signal strength. The initial GPS lock may take several minutes to achieve.

A steady orange GPS light indicates that enough satellites have been locked on to and that your position
is known.
Bluetooth Status Light
A flashing blue Bluetooth status light means that your GPS receiver is not connected to your phone. When
MOTONAV is started, it will automatically try to connect with your GPS receiver. Do not attempt to
connect using the Windows utilities. A steady blue light indicates that your phone has successfully
connected to your GPS receiver, and once the GPS light is steady orange you will be ready to travel.
Note: 10 seconds after successful Bluetooth and GPS connection, all status lights will turn off. To view
them again, momentarily press the power button to turn them on.
