Before You Start
※Precautions and Notices
※For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while
driving.
※Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as a
navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance,
location or topography.
※The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility
to follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.
※When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard
that is subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the battery can
cause malfunction and/or danger.
※GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS
system can affect the accuracy of all GPS equipments.
※GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass).
When you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not
available.
※A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current
GPS position. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as
bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings).
※The wireless devices might interfere the reception of satellite signals
and cause the reception of the signal to be unstable. For better signal
reception, it is recommended that you use a car antenna (option).
※A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. It is
recommended that you place the device in an appropriate place, so as
not to obstruct the driver’s view, or deployment of airbags.
※When battery run out, the device will automatically turn off the power.
So, when plug-in the car charger or power adaptor, please reset the
ON/OFF switch to re-initiate the device.

1.4 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
Using the Car Holder
※CAUTION:
1. Select an appropriate location for the car holder. Never place the holder
where the driver’s field of vision is blocked.
2. If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external
antenna (optional) may be needed to route the antenna to the top of the
car through a window. When closing the car window, be careful not to pinch
the antenna cable. (Cars with an anti-jam window design may
automatically leave adequate space as needed.)
NOTE: Depending upon the specific model purchased, the car holder supplied with your
device may not look exactly the same as the picture shown.
Notes for Use in a Vehicle
● Take care that the holder does not present any risk to safety, even in the case
of an accident, when installing it.
● Take care that the holder does not impede any safety components.
● The display of your navigation system may show “light re-flexions”. Please
take care of not being “blinded” during operation.
● Do not mount the components within the operating range of any airbags.
● Check the secure adherence of the suction cup at regular intervals.
● The power plug will consume power, even if no device is connected. Remove
it when not in use to avoid draining the battery.
● Check all safety equipment in your car after installation.

Connecting the Car Charger
The car charger supplies power to your device when you are using the device in
a car.
※CAUTION : To protect your device against sudden surges in current,
connect the car charger only after the car engine has been
started.
NOTE: Depending upon the specific model purchased, the car holder supplied with your
device may not look exactly the same as the picture shown.
1. Connect one end of the car charger to the power connector of your device.
2. Connect the other end to the cigarette lighter in the car to power and
charge your device and ensure that it will not lose contact while driving.
This could cause a malfunction.
● Hint: Remove the power adapter from the cigarette lighter socket when
ending a trip or when parking the car for an extended period of time.
