Quick Start Guide

iWAY™600CQuick Start Guide

The iWAY™600Cwas designed to be easy to use. The buttons along the

right side of the unit's screen open various menus, including turning

the unit on and off. However, the unit's touch screen will be used to

enter most commands.

The iWAY™600Ccan display aerial images.

1. SPEAK/VOLUME – Push this button to have the unit repeat the

current navigation instruction. Press and hold this key to adjust the

2. MAP/MUSIC – Press this key to switch between map and music

mode.

3. MENU – Press this key to access the Main Menu. From the Main

Menu you can select a command or adjust the unit's different features.

Map and Music Mode

The unit has two main modes of operation: Map Mode and Music Mode.

To switch between these two modes, press the MAP/MUSIC button located

on the right side of the unit.

In Map Mode you can drag the map across the screen to focus on a spe-

cific area or point to a nearby restaurant to get detailed information

and navigate to it. Since the touch screen responds to pressure, you will

have to actually push against the screen to scroll the map.

In Music Mode touch the play control buttons to start and stop music or

skip among songs. To use Music Mode you will need to copy music files

to the unit. The iWAY package includes a USB-PC cable so the unit can

be connected to a home computer. Use care when connecting or discon-

necting the USB-PC cable from your home computer. The unit can play

both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis music files.

Caution:

Use a microfiber towel to clean the unit's touch screen. Other

cleaning materials could damage the screen – damage that is

not covered by this product's warranty.

Mounting Instructions

The iWAY package includes a flexible, quick release arm mount. The

flexible arm mount is used to secure the unit to glass or other smooth

surfaces.

The flexible arm mount allows you to make non-mar installations with-

out drilling, screws or permanent adhesives. Since the mount is port-

able, it's easy to transfer the GPS unit to another vehicle.

WARNING:

When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must

avoid any installation that obscures important instru-

ments and controls or restricts the driver's view through

the vehicle's windows. Avoid placing the GPS where it

could be propelled by an activated airbag. Some states

restrict mounting any electronic device in any location

on an automobile dash or windshield.

Be sure to check your local laws before using these

mounts. Be sure to check the suction mount for ade-

quate adhesion each time you use the unit and reinstall

it if necessary. This is a portable mounting device and

the normal heating and cooling cycle of a car's interior

will eventually loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could

allow the unit to fall or come loose during vehicle opera-

tions.

Installing the flexible suction cup mount

The suction cup base and arm can be adjusted to a position that best

suits your vehicle. The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil.

While you can attach the flexible suction cup mount to the windshield

before attaching the unit to the suction cup mount, it may be easier if

the suction cup mount is connected to the unit first. You can then at-

tach the entire assembly to the car's windshield.

To attach the flexible suction cup mount to the back of the GPS unit

align the mount with the back of the unit. Place the base of the flexible

suction cup mount against the back of the unit by matching the male

and female connector ends together.

Then snap the mount into place by sliding the flexible suction cup

mount up. Pull down on the flexible suction cup mount to disengage it

from the back of the unit.

The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. Press the suction

cup against the mounting surface and, while maintaining pressure,

push the locking lever down until the arm is secure.

NOTE:

Some areas restrict mounting any electronic device to a dash or

windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before using any elec-

tronic mounting device.

Attaching the unit to mounting arm.

If the suction cup has problems staying secured to the mounting sur-

face, clean the mounting surface and the suction cup with alcohol then

reinstall. Moistening the suction cup may help it stick in some cases.

To remove the suction cup base, disengage the locking lever and pull on

the suction release tab to break the vacuum seal.

Adhesive Mounting Plate

In some automobiles a typical windshield mount may be difficult or un-

desirable. The flat self-adhesive mounting plate allows you to mount

the unit somewhere else, such as on the dashboard or center console.

Align the suction cup mount with the

back of the unit and snap it into place

by sliding the mounting arm up.

Top view of adhesive mounting plate, at left. Bottom view (right)

shows adhesive pad with paper backing.

The adhesive plate is important in these cases because the suction cup

base will not hold to textured materials covering most dashboards and

center consoles. The plate's smooth, flat surface provides a secure at-

tachment for the mount's suction cup, while the plate's adhesive pad

holds the entire assembly in place.

WARNING:

If you use the adhesive mounting plate it may be ex-

tremely difficult to remove. If you remove the plate it

could leave remnants of the adhesive pad or you could

damage the surface it was attached to.

Determine Plate Location

Once attached, the plate's adhesive pad is difficult or impossible to re-

move. It's important to select the proper location before removing the

adhesive backing. To select a mounting location for the adhesive pad,

connect the GPS unit and mounting arm together. Then attach the

mounting arm's suction cup to the adhesive plate. Hold the entire as-

sembly at the desired location to check how it fits. Make sure the flex

arm can be positioned for easy use.

Attach the mounting arm's suction cup (left) to the adhesive plate. The

flexible suction cup mount (right) locked to the adhesive plate.

Next, power the unit up and make sure the unit can lock on to satel-

lites through the automobile's window. If the unit can not lock on, try

another mounting location. When you have found a suitable mounting

location, make sure the mounting surface is free of dirt and oil. Release

the plate from the suction cup by flipping the locking lever and pulling

the suction release tab. Peel off the adhesive pad's paper backing. Posi-

tion the plate over the spot and press down firmly, maintaining pres-

sure for 20 seconds to ensure the adhesive bonds securely. You can now

attach the suction cup mount and GPS to the plate.

Caution:

Do not leave this unit unattended on an automobile dashboard.

When your car is parked and the GPS is not in use, protect it

from theft and heat by storing it in an unobtrusive location

away from direct sunlight. In warm seasons the temperature on

a car's unventilated or non air-conditioned dash can become hot

enough to prevent the GPS unit from operating.

Long Term Storage

When the GPS is not in use for an extended period of time we recom-

mend bringing it indoors and storing it at room temperature or in some

location with a temperature range of 60º to 90º F.

eye level. Notice how the unit was placed so that it does not obstruct

the view of the road ahead through the windshield.

Map Mode Operation

The unit’s map screen is the main display mode. It shows your location

and surroundings. A black arrow icon represents your position on-

screen. The arrow always points in the direction you are traveling.

While the unit is tracking your position, the black arrow icon remains

in the center of the map screen. The map screen scrolls and the map

changes. If you pass under a highway you will see the highway on the

map screen approach the arrow icon then scroll behind even as the

highway overpass dwindles in your rear-view mirror.

A black arrow icon (left) indicates your position on the map screen.

The map screen with map toolbar buttons is shown at right. Press the

Map Orientation button to select between three different map views.

time to destination, text directions and the current road you are travel-

ing on.

ture is activated (center figure above) a check mark will appear in the
