It is the user's responsibility to use this product prudently. This product is intended to be used only as a
navigational aid and must not be used for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance,
location, or topography. Statistics provided such as trip time are best estimates and may not accurately reflect

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States Government, which is solely responsible
for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment.

For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the TeleType GPS WorldNav 3100 to
place and secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and safety devices,

Do not mount the TeleType GPS WorldNav 3100 in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it

When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe
manner, to maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the GPS
system to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the GPS system while you
are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a TeleType GPS system to pay full attention to
operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision
with property damage and personal injury.

1.5 Quick Start Method

1. Plug in the WorldNav 3100 to the 12v car power lighter in your vehicle. In order to charge the unit while
driving, plug the power cord into the hole on the bottom right side of the GPS. The GPS will charge when
your car is on. If the WorldNav does not turn on immediately, press the Reset button located on the back of
the GPS. The reset button will not erase any of your saved history or points.

2. Your WorldNav includes a pre-configured Secure Digital card with maps and points of interest pre-installed.

The card has already been inserted into the GPS. Removing the card will result in the GPS becoming
non-operational. If in addition you have purchased an expansion SD Card, to insert your Secure Digital Card
in the side of the GPS, make sure the metal connection points on the card match with those visible inside
the device. To remove the card press down on the card, it will pop up and you can then remove the card
from the slot.

Secure Digital Card

3. Attach your GPS system to the windshield by putting the suction cup on the window (moisten cup if
necessary) and then by using the flip button next to the suction cup to achieve suction. Rest the
GPS on the dash to help stabilize it against vibration.

4. Flip the built-in receiver up and pointed towards your windshield. The WorldNav 3100 will
automatically lock into your GPS position; there is no configuration required. The GPS will know
your direction of travel only once you begin to move.

5 Changing the Adapter Fuse

In the event that the power cable fails to power the GPS you can replace the fuse. The end of the car
power lighter adapter unscrews, revealing a fuse just inside the cover. Replace the fuse with a
functioning fuse. Replacement fuses (2 Amps) are readily available from electronics stores.
