Accuracy

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by
the United States Government which is solely
responsible for the accuracy and continued
operation of the system. Accuracy of position fixes
(longitude, latitude, and altitude) can be affected by
alterations made to the GPS satellites by the U.S.
Government. Accuracy is subject to change in
accordance with the U.S. Department of Defense
civil GPS user policy and Federal Radionavigation
Plan. Positional accuracy and time-to-fix time can
also be affected by poor view caused by
obstructions such as tall buildings, heavy foliage,
large cliffs and other obstructions where GPS
satellite signal are blocked and poor satellites
geometry conditions result.

Accessories

The accessories supplied with TN-206 are
specifically designed for TN-206. Use of other
accessories may severely degrade performance or
even damage the receiver, and will void the
warranty.

General guidelines

Battery

The TN-206 contains a lithium-ion battery inside.
Leaving the TN-206 in hot or cold conditions, such
as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions,
will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. It
is ideal to keep the TN-206 in a place with a
temperature between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C
(+77°F). A TN-206 with a hot or cold battery may
temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully
charged. The performance of the lithium-ion battery
is particularly limited in temperatures below 0°C
(+32°C). Temperature extremities will affect the
ability of your battery to charge: allow the TN-206 to
adjust to operating temperature before using.

Recharge the TN-206 with the charger supplied
only. Do not leave the TN-206 connected to the
charger for more than 24 hours. Excessive charging
may shorten battery life. If left unused, a fully
charged battery will discharge itself over time.

GPS Satellite Signal

A longer than normal time-to-first-fix of position may
occur during your first use of the TN-206. Operating
the TN-206 (unit’s logo plate) requires a clear and
unobstructed view of sky with antenna facade
pointing upward to the sky. Tall buildings and other
obstructions to the sky may block satellite signals
and delays.

General guidelines

Driving and safety

Rayming Corporation will not accept any
responsibility whatsoever for accidents resulting
from failure to observe common sense precautions.
Your personal judgement, traffic regulations, and
common sense must always take precedence over
any directions produced by TripNav or the mapping
software

WARNING: Make sure that the GPS receiver is
secure and does not interfere with driving
visibility and safety.

It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to
securely place the GPS unit and antenna so that
they will not interfere with driving and prevent
operations of any safety device (such as the Airbag)
in your vehicle. Do not mount the devices in a place
where the driver or passengers may receive injury
during vehicle operation or collision. For your safety ,
take care to route all cables away from shifters,
pedals, accessory controls and mechanisms.

WARNING: Drive safely and use common sense.

It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to
drive safely, observe all traffic rules and above all
use your own personal judgment while driving. If
you feel that a route suggested by the navigation
software instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal
maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or
routes you into an area which you consider unsafe,
do not follow the instructions.

please turn off the device. Should you want to look
at the display for a prolonged time, park the car
safely, while following all traffic regulations before
looking at the display.

Interference

TN-206 may receive interference near cellular base­station and when in close proximity to mobile phone
antennas. This interference may affect positioning
