Important Vehicle and Product Safety Information

Before using your GPS device, be sure you review and understand the following information.
This device is not a substitute for common sense and
careful driving. Always comply with all trafc laws of the
state and city in which you are driving. Do not allow the GPS device to be a distraction to safe
driving. What you see through your windshield is more important than what you see on the LCD screen.
Do not attempt to input locations, change routing
options, or recongure your GPS device while driving.
Park your car or ask a passenger to operate the GPS device for you.
Some states, such as California and Minnesota, prohibit
mounting any mobile electronics device on the windshield of your vehicle. Before mounting your GPS device, check to see if your state (and any state you plan to travel to) have regulations governing how devices can be installed
in vehicles. Never leave the in plain sight in an
unattended vehicle. Remove the device from your vehicle to avoid prolonged
exposure to extremes of temperature and moisture.
Dense overhead trees, tunnels, and certain types of
metallic window tinting may temproarily disrupt the connection to the satellites.
Memory for 25 custom routes, 10 waypoints per route,
50 recently-used locations, and 50 favorite locations
A breadcrumbs feature to track your current route

Accessories

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
1.
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
2.
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
3.
support cradle.
Insert the external antenna
4.
cable into the connector on the back of the hinged antenna.
Return the device to its
5.
support crade.

Battery Information

This equipment contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. With normal use, the battery charge should last an average of 3 hours. For optimum battery life and performance:
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
to charge the battery. Using another charger or connector
may damage the device or create a re hazard.
The battery is not user-servicable. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device; this may void your warranty.
In case of exposure to the cell contents, wash the affected area thoroughly, and seek medical attention.

disposed of in a re.
If you plan to dispose of the device, please return the
entire product to Uniden for proper battery recycling.

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.
