or loss of life.

WARNINGS:

•

 mount the unit over airbag panels or within airbag expan-

sion spaces.

route suggestions should never supersede any local traffic regulations 

or safe driving practices.

• 

DO NOT 

program this unit while driving.

•

 glance at the screen when necessary and safe to do so.

•

 depend on this unit to locate emergency services (such as 

police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics).

• 

DO NOT

 position the unit in a location that obstructs the driver’s view 

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.

• 

DO NOT

 disassemble or modify the system; Changes or modifica-

tions to the system may void its compliance with FCC rules and make it 

illegal to use.

quick glance.

•

traffic and emergency services.

• This unit can be operated in temperatures between 14°F and 140°F 

(-10°C and 60°C).

of theft but will also reduce the unit’s exposure to extreme temperatures 

which can shorten the life of the internal components.
