1.2 Safety while Operating the Device
Failure to adhere to the following guidelines may result in potentially hazardous
situations and result in serious injury or even death.
- Never operate/interact with the device while you are driving.
- National road traffic regulations and local traffic conditions always take
precedence over the instructions given by the navigation device.
- Do not install the navigation device in such a manner as to obstruct the
driver’s view of the road or operation of a vehicle’s controls or safety
features such as airbag systems.
- The route calculated by the navigation device is a suggested route and
used for reference only. It is not a substitution for alert driver behavior and
common sense. Drivers must continue to pay attention to all road
regulations and hazards regardless of instructions from the navigation
device.
1.3 Safety while Travelling
While the HEMA NAVIGATOR 5” is a valuable tool for navigation, it is only
that – a tool – and as such should not be used as a replacement for hard-copy
maps and other traditional navigational aids while travelling, especially in remote
areas. Always ensure you have adequate backup systems in place to ensure
your safety.
1.4 Battery
This product works with a re-chargeable lithium-ion battery which is non-
serviceable and non-user-replaceable. Failing to adhere to these guidelines may
reduce the life expectancy of the battery or present the risk of electrolyte leak,
explosion and fire resulting in chemical burn, damage and/or injury.
- Only use the original 240V mains and 12/24V car charger supplied with
the HEMA NAVIGATOR 5”. Use of non-approved parts or accessories,
may result in malfunctions and/or severe damage to the device.
- Do not expose the device to damp, wet and/or a corrosive environment.
- Do not expose the device to excessive pressures, a heat source, high
temperatures or extreme sunlight conditions such as an unattended
vehicle on a hot day.
- Do not expose the device to operating temperatures in excess
of -20°C – 55°C and storage temperatures in excess of -20 – 35°C.
- Do not pierce, open or dismantle the battery. If the battery leaks and you
come in contact with the liquid, thoroughly rinse the contaminated area
with water and consult a doctor immediately.
