• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US
Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy
and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department
makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-
detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.
• Please do not leave your device in the vehicle and expose to direct
sunlight to avoid overheating the battery that could pose damage to
the device or risk to the vehicle.
