Important safety information

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING PRODUCT IN VEHICLE

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property damage.

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 will not cause accidents, personal injury or
property damage. Always observe safe driving practices.

Do not mount your Navman in a way that may interfere with the safe operation of the 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, familiarise 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.

At full power, prolonged listening to your Navman via headphones or earphones can damage the ear of the user.

while driving. Please make sure you research and follow your most current State laws. An alternative mounting option may be
provided in the box with your product; or see our website for additional mounting alternatives. Navman does not take any
responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice.

Home charger-specific safety information

To charge your Navman from the mains power, use the home charger (sold separately) supplied by Navman as an accessory.
Using other home chargers with your Navman 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

visit

www.navman.com.au (Australia) or www.navman.co.nz (New Zealand).

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 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.

To obtain a faster GPS fix, ensure car is stationary and battery is fully charged once per month.

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.

 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.

15

 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.

How do I receive current traffic
information via TMC?

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.

How does my Navman receive traffic information?

Depending on your Navman model, you may receive current traffic information on your Navman using the
built-in TMC receiver or via the Navman traffic accessory kit (may be sold separately).

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.

You have to pay for TMC service in other countries.

How will I know when a Traffic Event occurs?

When travelling through an area in which you can receive traffic updates, your Navman will decode these
events and display them on-screen. 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 screen for 8 seconds and is added to the All traffic
events.

When the message is suppressed, the TMC icon ( ) will be displayed on the Map screen. You can tap

the icon to bring up the All traffic events screen.

37
