WARNING SYMBOLS AND STATEMENTS
Please pay special attention to the WARNING symbols and statements in this manual.
WARNING Statements identify conditions that could result in personal injury or
loss of life.
WARNINGS:
• DO NOT mount the unit over airbag panels or within airbag expansion spaces.
The force of an expanding airbag can thrust objects in its path toward the driver or
passengers with injurious result.
• DO NOT think this 7700 Pro is a substitute for personal judgment. The route sug-
gestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation, personal judgment or
knowledge of safe driving practices. Before making any maneuvers suggested by the
7700 Pro system (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that the maneuver can
be legally and safely completed. Do not follow route suggestions if they suggest an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place the vehicle in an unsafe situation or would
route the vehicle into an area that could be unsafe.
• DO NOT program this 7700 Pro while driving. Only a passenger should operate con-
trols or program the unit while the vehicle is in motion. The driver should not program
the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
• ONLY glance at the screen when necessary and safe to do so. Listen to the computer
voice guidance. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.
• DO NOT depend on this 7700 Pro system to locate emergency services (such as
police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics). The database may not include all emergency
service providers. Use judgment and ask for directions in these situations.
• DO NOT position the unit in a location that obstructs the driver’sview of the road,
instruments or controls to operate the vehicle.
• DO NOT drive the vehicle unless the unit is securely attached to the windshield with
the supplied bracket and suction cup or is fastened by other reliable means to keep it
from becoming a projectile hazard inside the vehicle in the event of a violent maneu-
ver or collision.
• DO NOT disassemble or modify the system; personal injury or damage could result. If
a problem occurs, stop using the system immediately and contact Cobra. Changes or
modifications to the system may void its compliance with FCC rules and make it illegal
to use.
• DO position the unit so the screen can be viewed with just a quick glance.
• DO set the volume at a level that will allow the hearing of outside traffic and
emergency services.
