How Do I Put It in My Car?
Safety Considerations
Don’t install any device where it will block your view (including your mirrors!) while you’re driving.►
Keep your attention on the road!►Don’t try to operate or focus on any device while you’re driving.
If you have to concentrate on a device, pull off the road for a few minutes.
It’s a good idea to take valuable items with you when you leave you car—that includes GPS
►
devices. If you can’t take the device with you, lock it in the glove compartment or hide it
somewhere. And don’t forget to take down the windshield mount: you don’t want to remind any
potential thieves that you might have some valuable mobile electronics in the car.
Don’t leave the device in direct sunlight for a long period of time or where the temperature could
go above 60º C (140º F).
Attaching the windshield mount
Assemble the Windshield mount by slotting Part 2 onto Part 1.►
Part 1 Part 2
Insert the bracket hook into the►
notch at the bottom of the device.
Rotate the bracked up so
►
the head fits into the gap.

Mounting on the Windshield
Make sure the device does not block your view of the road or your mirrors.
Once you decide where you want the device, hold the suction cup in that position, then adjust the
mount so you have the best view of the device.
Press the suction cup flat against the windshield.1)
Push the suction lock up (towards the suction cup) until it snaps into place.2)
Gently pull on the mount to make sure it is secure.3)
If you have trouble getting the suction cup to stick:
Clean the spot with an ammonia-free cleanser.
►
Dry the spot completely (use a lint-free cloth, if possible).►
Make sure the spot is smooth and flat (suction cups won’t stick well on a curved or textured►
surface).
Removing the windshield mount
When you release the suction latch, make sure you’re holding or somehow supporting the
device.
Lift the suction latch and use the plastic pull tab to pull the suction cup off of the glass.
Adjusting the Windshield Mount
Bend the windshield mount arm to a suitable angle for mounting.►

1 Warnings and Safety information
This software is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in
GPS receiver. The software does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the
vehicle, we recommend that you operate your software before you start your journey. Plan the route
before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the recommended
route, your software changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place your device where it obstructs the driver’s view, where it is in the deployment zone of an
airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.
For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 73).
