To get started, put the device into the holder and assemble holder with bracket. Take off

the protective film on the bottom or the suction. Then put the bracket onto a suitable

location of your windscreen or side window, make sure the window and the suction or

windscreen is clean. For best suction, it is recommended that the suction cup be

User Manual

moistened before affixing to the windscreen. When in a suitable place, push the leaver at

the base of the bracket towards the suction cup to secure a seal. Check the seal to

ensure that suction cup is working before releasing the GPS. Bend the post of the bracket

to position the screen in a comfortable position for the drive without obscuring the view

through the windscreen.

Note: Controlling 5 different levels of suction by pressing down the button (See below

Controlling 5 different levels of suction by pressing down the button

Note: Some newer vehicles may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the

windscreen. In some cases this can prevent proper GPS signal reception. If this turns out

to be a problem in your vehicle, you will need to purchase and install a 3

external antenna kit.

Under normal journey conditions, the suction mount is perfectly sufficient to hold the

bracket and GPS in position. Suction may be lost if left overnight, due to condensation

and low temperature. For this reason, and for security, we recommend removing both

the suction mount bracket and the device when leaving your vehicle overnight.

To remove the bracket, three steps as below:

Press the 2 buttons on the side of the lever, pull back lightly and then take off the suction.

If the bracket still doesn't detach from your windscreen, tug gently on the clear plastic tab

at the edge of the suction mount, to break the vacuum seal.

1. Connect the memory card reader & writer to the USB port of your computer, then insert

the memory card into the memory card reader & writer and the CD into the CD drive.

2. The installation should start automatically. If it does not start, please run setup.exe from

the CD(s).

3. Select the language you want the installation to be performed in, e.g., "English", and click

Next.

4. Click Next to continue.

5. Select the drive where the files should be installed. Click Next to continue.

6. Read the license agreement carefully, select the first option and click Next to continue.

If geographic map(s) and voice instructions are already installed on your memory card, choose the relevant option and click Next to continue:

 Modify to select new components to install or the components to remove (see steps

7 to 10 below).

 Repair to reinstall the components that were previously installed (see steps 7 to 10

below).

 Remove to remove the installed components (see step 10 below).

7. Select the language of the voice instructions (e.g., "English") you want to install onto the

memory card. Note: The default language is identical to the Setup Language. Click Next to continue.

8. Select the geographic map(s) you want to install onto the memory card (e.g., "United

Kingdom & Ireland"). Click Next to continue.

Click Install to start installing the geographic map(s) and the voice instructions onto the

memory card. (For products with more than one CD: please note that not all CDs are necessarily asked for during the installation process. This depends on which map(s) you have selected for installation in step 8).

10. Click Finish to complete the installation / maintenance process. The geographic map(s)

and voice instructions are now installed on your memory card and can be used for navigation.

Formatting your Memory Card

Formatting the memory card maximizes the free space on the memory card and optimizes the speed of reading and writing files from/onto the memory card.

Warning:

Formatting will erase ALL data on the memory card. Note that your Navig8r can always be restored on your memory card using the CD(s), but you may want to backup other data (e.g., photographs or MP3s) that you have stored on the memory card.

1. Insert your memory card into the memory card reader & writer.

2. Connect your memory card reader & writer to a USB port of your PC.

3. Open (double-click) My Computer on your PC. The corresponding memory card

appears in the Devices with Removable Storage section as “Removable Disk”. Make

sure this is the correct memory card (e.g., disconnect the memory card reader & writer

and verify that the disk disappears from the list; next, reconnect your memory card reader

& writer).

4. Click on the right button of the mouse on the identified Removable Disk and choose

"Format..." Select “FAT” (not “FAT32”) under "File system" and click Start. Take good

notice of the contents of the warning message. If you agree, click OK. The memory card

How does GPS work?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into Earth’s orbit. GPS works in any weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine your 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude).
