Warning

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL

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 where they do not obstruct

driving.

Failure to do so may result in unsafe driving

conditions.

• Be sure to attach the unit to the cradle properly,

otherwise the unit may fall.

• Be sure to clean the surface of the suction cup and

windshield before attaching. Also, confirm that

the suction cup is securely attached to the

windshield after installation. Otherwise, the unit

or cradle may fall.

• Do not apply excessive force to the unit or cradle

as it may fall.

• If ambient temperature is low, warm up the car

interior and then install the cradle and unit. The

cup suction is affected at high/low temperatures or

sudden changes in temperature, and the unit or

cradle may fall.

• Should condensation occur inside the car, wipe the

windshield before installation, as the suction cup

may come off, and the unit or cradle may fall.

• Observe all traffic rules and regulations, such as

one-way streets, while driving with the route

guidance.

• Comply with your local traffic 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.

• For your safety, do not mount or remove the unit

from the cradle while driving.

• When mounting the unit in the cradle, remove any

supplied accessories, such as USB cable, etc.,

from the unit. They may fall or their cables may

interfere with driving.

• 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 cradle

connector of the unit, as it may cause malfunction.

• Turn the unit off by pressing ?/1 and keep it in the

standby mode when not in use. Turning the

ignition off does not turn off the unit, which

continues to draw power from the lithium-ion

rechargeable battery (built-in).

• Turn the unit off by pressing ?/1, take it out of the

cradle, then disconnect the car battery adapter,

otherwise it may drain the car battery. Note the

following.

– If your car’s cigarette lighter socket is not

connected to the ignition switch ACC position,

power continues to be supplied to the built-in

battery, even if you turn the ignition off.

– Check the CHG indicator at the bottom right of

the unit which lights up during charging.

• Do not place anything other than the specified unit

in the cradle.

• Do not connect any accessory (car battery adapter,

AC power adapter, etc.) other than those supplied

or optional.

• Do not expose the unit to fire or water, as it may

cause a malfunction.

• Do not let water or rain get into the unit, as it may

cause a malfunction.

• Do not allow any liquid or foreign object to enter

the unit.

• Be sure to remove the unit out of the cradle when

leaving your car to prevent theft or high

temperature damage inside the car.

• If you leave the unit in direct sunlight, the LCD

may darken and not display clearly. This is not a

malfunction, and it will return to normal as

temperature decreases.

• 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

it will become unchargeable.

• When the car battery adapter is not in use,

disconnect it from the cigarette lighter socket, as it

may drain the car battery even with ignition OFF.

On installation

• Before installing the unit, check your local traffic

laws and regulations.

• Make sure you install the unit properly according

to the installation instructions. Improper

installation may result in fire or electric shock.

• Before installation, be sure to turn the ignition

switch to the OFF position or take out the key.

Installing the unit with the ignition on may cause

the car battery to drain or short circuit.

• For information about the polarity, battery voltage

and location of the airbag in your car, please

consult your car dealer.

• When installing the unit, use only the hardware

provided and avoid mounting to any critical

components of the vehicle.

• Take care to prevent cords or wires from getting

tangled or crimped in the moving portion of a seat

rail.

Mounting location

• Do not install the cradle where:

– it will obstruct the driver’s view when the cradle

is mounted in the car, or the unit is in the cradle.

– it will obstruct the operation of the airbag

system.

– it will obstruct the operation of the car,

especially the steering wheel, shift lever, or

brake pedal.

– it will be subjected to heat/high temperature.

• Please consult a qualified technician or service

personnel if you cannot attach the cradle to the car

securely.

On GPS

GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites

continuously emit signals for positioning anywhere

on the earth. As a GPS antenna receives these

signals, users can be informed of their location

(latitude, longitude and altitude). Information must

be received from 3 satellites in order to obtain two-

dimensional fixes (latitude and longitude), and 4

satellites are required for three-dimensional

positioning (latitude, longitude and altitude). As

GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Department

of Defense, a deliberate margin of error between a

few meters (a few feet) and 10 meters (32.8 feet)

exists. As a result, the GPS navigation system may

include an error of between 10 meters (32.8 feet)

and about 200 meters (656.2 feet), depending on the

circumstances.

As GPS information is obtained using signal from

satellites, it may be impossible or difficult to obtain

the information in the following locations:

• Tunnel or underground

• Under a highway

• Between high buildings

• Between tall trees with dense foliage

After the initial installation, park your car in a safe,

open place (no high buildings, etc.) for up to 20

minutes to allow for GPS signals to be received

before using the navigation system. The system

requires signals from a minimum of 3 GPS satellites

to calculate the current car position properly.

Note

It takes time to receive a GPS signal when switching

the unit ON after switching OFF the main power, after

the built-in battery is fully discharged, or after resetting

the unit.
