Installing the GPS Device in Your Vehicle

Suction Lock

Release Tab

Windshield Mounting

When you install the device for the rst time, attach the

device to the support arm before attaching the arm to your vehicle windshield.

Note: Before attaching the suction cup, clean the inside of your windshield with a standard window cleaner and a lint-free cloth.

Press the suction cup

rmly against the

windshield and push the suction lock up towards the suction cup. To release the suction cup, pull the lock back towards the support arm and lift the plastic tab. Important: be ready to support the device when it releases from the windshield.

Connect the DC power cord to the 11-15VDC jack.

Then, insert the cigarrette-lighter plug into a standard 12-volt outlet. The device automatically turns on when you connect the power.

Extend the GPS antenna and insert the hooks on the support arm into the holes on the bottom of the Device.

Squeeze the locking tabs together. Swing the top of the support arm into the back of the device. Release the locking tabs.

Place the suction cup at against the windshield, and

adjust the position so you can easily see the display screen but your driving view is not obstructed. Flex the gooseneck support arm until the display is in the right position.

NOTE: Some states (including California and Minnesota) have banned the use of windshield-mounted devices inside the state’s borders. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with all the laws of any state(s) in which you operate your vehicle.

Permanent Dashboard or Console Mounting

NOTE: The surface mount disc is designed to permanently stick to most surfaces. Attempting to remove the disc may cause damge to the surface. Be certain you have the disc in the desired location before exposing the adhesive.

To mount the device on a rough surface, such as your dasboard or console, use the surface mount disk that came with your device. This disk permanently mounts in your car and provides a stable base for the suction cup mount.

Clean the surface where you plan to mount the disc. Be

sure to remove all protecterants, wax, and grease.

Carefully peel the protective sheet

from the bottom of the surface mount disc to expose the adhesive.

Position the disc above the surface

in the desired location, Press the

disc rmly against the surface,

making sure that all parts of the disc have good contact with the surface. Gently tug on the disc to test the adhesive before mounting the support arm.

Press the suction cup rmly

into the surface mount disc and push the suction lock down towards the suction cup.

To release the suction cup,

pull the lock back towards the support arm and lift the plastic tab. Important: be ready to support the device when it releases from the windshield.

Determine the best location for the surface mount disc.

Attach the device to the support arm. Place the suction

cup at against the surface, and adjust the position so

you can easily see the display screen but your driving view is not obstructed.

Connect the DC power cord to

the 11-15VDC jack. Then, insert the cigarrette-lighter plug into a standard 12-volt outlet. The device automatically turns on when you connect the power.

Using an External Antenna

Like any radio signal, your GPS signal reception may expeirence interference from tunnels, freeway “canyons”,

and competing radio signals; some reective metallic

window tinting can also interfere with signal reception. If

you have difculty getting or maintaining a GPS signal lock

in your area, consider using an external antenna.

A magnetic mount external antenna is available from Uniden’s online store. This antenna has a magnetic base to mount to the outside of your car without damaging your

car’s nish.

Clean a the area of your

vehicle where you want to mount the antenna. Carefully lower the module until the magnet holds it on the car. Note: You should

remove the antenna before going through a car wash.

Route the cable from the antenna to the inside of your

vehicle. Make sure the cable does not interfere with safe driving.

Using a Headset

Your device supports a standard 3.5 mm audio headset. To use a headset, turn the device volume all the way down. Then, insert the headset connector into the audio jack on the left side of the device. Put your headset on and adjust the volume to the desired level.

Remove the device from its

support cradle.

Insert the external antenna

cable into the connector on the back of the hinged antenna.

Return the device to its

support crade.

Do not store the device in temperatures below -4°F (-20°C)

●

or above +140°F (+60°C).

Do not expose the battery to temperatures above +140°F

●

(+60°C); this may cause the battery to rupture or fail.

Do not leave the device in direct sunlight for long periods

●

of time

Only use the DC adapter cord supplied with the product

●

Troubleshooting

Below is is list of common problems with GPS devices and how to solve them.

Can’t Get a GPS Signal Lock

●

Check to see if you are in an area with radio interference or signal blockage. If your cell phone or an AM/FM radio

have difculty, your GPS device might have trouble

getting a clear signal also. If you regularly travel to “dead spots” or to areas with heavy radio interference, consider trying an external antenna to increase the receiver power.

●

Some cars use metallic tinting on the windows which can interfere with radio signals. If your windows are tinted, try stepping outside the car with your GPS device or holding it out the window. Once it achieves a signal lock, the GPS device will usually be able to maintain the lock back inside the vehicle.

Out of Memory

●

Delete old routes or recently entered locations that you don’t use anymore.

Screen is blurry and hard to read

Dirt and oils from your ngers can stay on the

●

touchscreen. Periodically clean the touch screen with a lint free cloth dampened with water only. If the screen remains dirty, try a mild soap solution or a cleaning spray designed for electronics. Do not use ammonia on the screen, and never immerse the device in water.

Can’t nd a location on the map

●

Newer addresses may not have existed when the map software was created. Check www.uniden.com for the latest maps.
