Device mounting precautions
•
Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location
on the vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws acceptable
mounting areas before installing the auto mounting kit.
•
Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in
the windshield. This may in some cases obstruct the GPS signal reception.
In some cases, poor GPS signal are caused by:
•
Indoors and GPS cannot receive satellite positioning signal
•
Pylon or mobile phone base station
•
Bad weather, thunder, lightning, cloudy sky, fog, or rain
•
Driving in high speed
•
The heating and cooling cycle of a vehicle’s interior will in some cases
loosen the adhesion of the suction cup. Check the vacuum seal of the
vehicle mount kit for adequate adhesion each time you use the unit, and
reinstall if necessary.
•
If the vehicle mount kit has problems staying on, clean the plastic suction
cup with alcohol, then reinstall.
