On handling
• Do not let foreign objects get inside the
connector of the unit, as it may cause
malfunction.
• When the unit is not in use, turn it off by
pressing ?/1. Remove the unit from the cradle,
then disconnect the car battery adapter,
otherwise battery drain may result. Note the
following:
If your car’s cigarette lighter socket is not
connected to ACC on your ignition switch,
power will continue to be supplied to the unit’s
built-in power supply even when the ignition is
off or the unit is not in use.
• Do not connect any accessory other than those
supplied or optional.
• Do not expose the unit to fire or water, as it
may cause malfunction.
• To disconnect a cable, pull it out by grasping
the plug, not the cable.
• Be sure to remove the unit out of the car when
leaving your car to prevent theft or high
temperature damage inside the car.
• If the cradle is left attached for a long time, the
suction cup may leave a mark on the
windshield/dashboard. Be sure to detach the
cradle from the windshield/dashboard when it
is not being used.
• Detach and reattach the cradle regularly to
maintain the attachment strength of the suction
cup.
• Note that the built-in battery cannot be charged
outside the temperature range 5 – 45 ºC (41 –
113 ºF).
• Do not leave the unit in high ambient
temperature as the built-in battery capacity will
deteriorate, or will become unchargeable.
On GPS
As GPS information is obtained from satellites, it
may be impossible or difficult to obtain
information in locations such as:
• Tunnel or underground
• Under a highway
• Between high buildings
• Between tall trees with dense foliage
Note
GPS signal reception may be poor depending on the
material of the car’s windshield.
On the battery discharge mode
If the unit’s internal temperature becomes
excessive, it enters battery discharge mode and
automatically reduces the charge capacity to
protect the battery. In this case, the unit turns on
(display remains off), even while not in use.
On the software
Read the End-User License Agreement carefully
before use.
