> DEVICE PLACEMENT IN YOUR VEHICLE

GPS signal fix: To obtain an effective GPS signal place your device
in the windshield inside your vehicle, in a way that it doesn't interfere
with your driving. When using it outside, it will be more difficult to fix
satellites in places with high trees and buildings. In the first use, your
device can take up to 30 minutes to make the first GPS fix.

After this the procedure will only take a few seconds, unless you
travel by plane or change country continuously.
The GPS antenna is often located in the rear upper part of your
device and must be directed towards the sky at all times. Placing your
device in the seats will decrease the ability to fix a GPS signal.

> HOW TO CHARGE MY VECTOR?

When you first unpack your Vector, it may only have a small amount
of power. We recommend that you charge the device for 5 hours prior
to setting it up.

There are 3 charging options:

1

1- In car charger. Only use the one supplied with the Vector device.
Other makes may not work or even damage your device.

2- USB Charger. As with the car charger only use the one supplied
with the Vector. If you choose to charge your device using the USB
cable you can update your device at the same time using the NDrive
Agent available free of charge at www.ndrive.com.

3- Mains adaptor. Compatible main adaptors can be purchased from
www.vector.com.ph.

If your Vector device appears not to be charging, please insist for a
few more minutes. In some cases all electronic devices need to be
charged for several minutes before they are able to operate.

All devices must be charged for at least 5 hours to reach the "full
battery" status.

> NAVIGATE / FIND

Navigate: If your Vector is receiving a valid GPS signal, the
navigation mode will automatically be activated, allowing both
visual & voice commands to guide you to your desired destination. If
your Vector has no valid GPS signal (i.e. indoors with no direct line of
sight to the satellite receivers) it will activate the demo mode that will
switch to Navigation mode once the signal is received.

Find: This function allows you to “search” all the map
contents such as streets, intersection of streets, and points of
interest like malls, schools, churches, etc.

Tap on the Navigate icon & you will be presented with different
options to find your destination.

NDrive” , “Define Home” ,“Address” .

If you have maps from more than one country on your Vector, tap the
flag in the top left hand corner of the screen & select the country you
wish to search.

With NDrive, all text input can be simplified:
Ex: To select a town or city enter the name using the keyboard. If the
location you require has more than one word i.e. San Jose, just type S
> Space > J and NDrive's search engine will simplify this task. This
function also applies to the “Street” search.
If the desired location does not show in the first results use NDrive’s
scroll down the list by dragging your finger down the screen.
As soon as you enter the house number (where available) your
"Home" location will be set.

> TROUBLESHOOTING

My device cannot acquire a GPS signal through the windscreen
Some vehicles have athermic (heat reflective) windscreens that can
hinder the GPS signal. In this case you should attach your device to a
side window using the correct mount.
If your vehicle does not have a heat reflective windscreen and your
device still cannot obtain a signal please contact our technical support
team.

Incorrect Route Calculations
This may happen for several reasons:

Weak GPS signal indicates that your device might be in an incorrect

position.

Map data requires updating. You can obtain map updates using the

NDrive Agent available on www.vector.com.ph

Ensure the Routing Options in the Settings menu are correct.

Vector Unit Freezes

Reset the device by inserting a pointed object (i.e. the stylus or a

paperclip) carefully into the reset hole at the back of your device.

Vector stopped working after an update:

Before updating via NDrive Agent it is strongly advised to make a

backup of all files by copying them to your computer, by clicking the
Backup & Restore button found on NDrive Agent.

 NDrive Agent will make use of your internet connection, USB

connection and a MS Windows component to manage all mobile
devices communication and transfer to your device all the new files. If
the process fails, please try again one more time.

 If the problem persists, please contact our technical support.

Depending on the installed maps the update process may take a
few hours. Internet connection problems may cause an update
process failure.

If your issue is not answered in this document, please refer to our
"FAQ" section at www.vector.com.ph or address your question to our
