Important safety information
Removing original equipment, adding accessories or modifying your vehicle could
affect the vehicle’s safety or make it illegal to operate in some jurisdictions.
Follow all product instructions and all instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual
regarding accessories or modifications.
Consult your country’s and/or state’s laws regarding operation of a vehicle with any
accessories or modifications.
It is your sole responsibility to place, secure and use your Navman in a manner that

vehicle, the deployment of air bags or other safety equipment.
Do not operate your Navman while driving.
Before you use your Navman for the first time, familiarize yourself with your device
and its operation.
On main roads, the distance to an exit calculated by your Navman may be further
than the distance shown on road signs. Road signs show the distance to the start of
an exit while your Navman shows the distance to the next intersection, i.e., the end of
the exit ramp or road. To prepare to exit a road, always follow distance information on
road signs.
The use of information regarding safety or speed camera locations may be subject to
local laws in the country of use. You are responsible for checking that you can legally
use the information in your country or in the country where the information will be
used.
Do not handle your Navman while it is hot. Let the product cool, out of direct sunlight.
Precautions
Failure to adhere to these warnings and cautions may lead to death, serious injury or
property damage. Navman disclaims all liability for installation or use of your Navman
that causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law.

How do I receive current trac
information via TMC?
Note: Traffic information is not available on all models and is only available in selected countries.
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.
Your Navman can receive current traffic information for all main roads, motorways and
major cities, 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.
You may have to pay for the TMC service in some countries.
How will I know when a trac event occurs?
When travelling through an area in which you can receive traffic updates, your Navman
will decode these events and display them. An icon will display at the event location on
the Map screen, 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 the screen
for 8 seconds and is added to the All traffic events.
Note: When the message is suppressed, the TMC icon ( ) will be displayed on the Map screen.

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 Navman, 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 Navman receive GPS signals?
Your Navman receives GPS signals via the internal GPS antenna. To guarantee the
optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your Navman 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 Navman
Taking good care of your Navman will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of
damage to your Navman:
Keep your Navman away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
Avoid exposing your Navman to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended
periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your Navman or drop objects on your Navman.
Do not drop your Navman or subject it to severe shock.
Do not subject your Navman to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could
cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your Navman. In
the event of moisture condensation, allow your Navman to dry out completely before
use.
88
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 Navman when it is turned on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the
screen and the exterior of your Navman.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your Navman.
Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause damage to your
Navman 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 Navman, its parts or accessories.

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