AC Adapter-specific safety information
To charge your Navman from the mains power, use the AC adapter/AC power pack supplied by Navman as an accessory (may be sold
separately). Using other AC adapters with your Navman could result in serious injury or property damage.
Never use the adapter if the plug or cord are damaged.
Do not expose the adapter to moisture or water. Do not use the adapter in a high moisture environment. Exposure to water may cause
electrical sparks or fires.
Never touch the adapter when your hands or feet are wet.
Allow adequate ventilation around the adapter when using it to operate your Navman or charge the Navman internal battery. Do not
cover the adapter with paper or other objects that will reduce ventilation. Do not use the adapter while it is inside a carrying case or other
container.
Ensure that the adapter is connected to a power source with the correct fitting and voltage requirements. The voltage requirements can
be found on the AC adapter casing and/or packaging.
Do not attempt to service the adapter as this could result in personal injury. Replace the adapter if it is damaged or exposed to excess
moisture.
Internal battery-specific safety information
The Navman contains a non-replaceable internal lithium-ion polymer battery. The battery may burst or explode if mishandled, releasing
hazardous chemicals. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush or puncture the battery.
Recycle or dispose of the battery safely and properly according to local laws and regulations. Do not dispose of the battery in fire or
water.
Only use the correct AC adapter (sold separately) or in-vehicle adapter supplied by Navman to charge the Navman internal battery.
Only use the Navman internal battery with the Navman unit.
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 the Navman that causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates
any law.

How do I navigate with
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.
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. Your Navman can operate in all weather types except snowfall.
You can view your GPS status at any time from the map screens or the camera screens. The GPS
displays green when a GPS fix is established and red when a GPS fix is unavailable. To

How do I save, e-mail or print
photos?
To save, e-mail or print photos, you must first transfer the photos to your computer; there are two ways
to do this:
Copy the photos from a memory card to your computer via a memory card reader or memory
card drive, or
Copy the photos from your Navman to your computer via NavAlbum software on your computer.
Via Memory Card
Photos can be copied from the albums on your Navman internal memory to the My Pictures folder on
your memory card. The first time a photo is copied to the memory card, the following folders will be
created:
E:\My Documents\My Pictures, where “E” is the letter assigned to your memory card drive
or reader.
All photos in My Pictures are part of the same photo album and can be viewed on your Navman.
Once a photo has been copied to the photo album on your memory card, you can then use the card
with your computer to save, e-mail or print the photos, or take the memory card to a digital photo
retailer for printing.
Via NavAlbum
Photos can be copied from the Album on your Navman to your computer using NavAlbum software on
your computer (see "What is NavAlbum?" on page 98).
NavAlbum is installed on your computer at the same time that you install Smart Desktop (see "How
