Warning
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL AND THE
SUPPLIED “READ THIS FIRST”
COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING YOUR PERSONAL
NAVIGATION SYSTEM. IMPROPER
INSTALLATION OR USE OF THIS DEVICE
MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT, INJURY OR
DEATH.
On safety
• Be sure to:
– install the navigation system in a safe place
where it does not obstruct the driver’s view.
– not install the unit above an airbag.
– place the cables and cradle where they do not
obstruct driving.
– attach the unit to the cradle properly,
otherwise the unit may fall.
– clean the surface of the suction cup and
attachment surface before attaching. When
installing on the dashboard, clean the surface
on which the suction cup will be attached.
Also, confirm that the suction cup is securely
attached after installation. Otherwise, the unit
or cradle may fall.
Failure to do so may result in unsafe driving
conditions.
• Do not apply excessive force to the unit or
cradle as it may fall.
• Comply with local traffic rules, laws and
regulations.
• Do not continuously watch the unit while
driving. It is dangerous and may cause a traffic
accident.
• If you need to operate the navigation system
while driving, be sure to stop the car in a safe
place before operating.
• Do not modify the unit.
• Do not disassemble the unit except when
disposing of it.
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/sliding ?/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.
• 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.
Be sure to use the supplied or optional car
battery adapter or AC adapter, which is
compatible with the unit/cradle. Otherwise,
excessive voltage may be applied to the unit/
cradle and may cause smoke, fire, or accident.
