NOTICE

• The navigational system is only an aid. The data/details provided may in some cases be incorrect. The driver must always

decide whether or not to follow the directions given. We accept no liability for incorrect details issued by the navigational

General operation

Maintenance and care

The unit is maintenance-free.

For proper care, a commercially available

cleansing fluid for electrical devices may

be applied using a soft damp cloth.

Your unit was designed and manufactured

with great care and should be treated with

equal care. You will enjoy your unit for a

long time to come if you observe the rec-

ommendations listed below:

• Protect your unit and the accessories

from water and moisture. If your unit

has been exposed to moisture, switch it

off immediately and disconnect the

power supply. Allow to dry at room

temperature.

• Do not store and operate your unit in a

dusty or dirty environment.

• Do not store your unit in hot environ-

ments. High temperatures can shorten

the service life of electronic components

in your unit, damage the rechargeable

batteries and cause certain plastics to

warp or melt.

• Do not store your unit in cold environ-

ments. During operation, when the

unit warms up to operating tempera-

ture, moisture may form internally,

causing damage to electronic compo-

nents.

• Do not drop your unit, protect it from

shocks and do not shake it. Improper

handling can damage components

within the unit.

• Never use corrosive or aggressive chem-

icals, cleaning solutions or aggressive

detergents for cleaning.

All the above information applies equally

to the unit, the rechargeable battery and

all accessories. Should one of these parts

not work properly, please contact your au-

thorised dealer.

DANGER

Danger to life by electrocution. Always

switch off the unit and disconnect the

mains power supply unit before clean-

ing the unit, supplied components or ac-

cessories.

Note:

Do not use any aggressive or abrasive

substances or cloths which may damage

the surface.
