PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES
The GPS is a navigation system.
It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance,
location or topography.
It is the user's responsibility to follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.
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).
Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause
the reception to be unstable.
If the GPS device screen stops responding, press the OFF button; if it does not respond, press the
RESET button.
When you get off the car, do not leave your GPS device exposed to sunlight.
The overheating of the battery can cause malfunction.
For your safety, do not access device functions while driving.
Do not install the GPS device in places that could obstruct the driver's view.
