EZ ROAD MANUAL
Precautions and Notices
For the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following
safety requirements:
Ø
Do not
attempt to operate any Pharos GPS navigation and routing system in a
vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, or in any way that interferes with safe
driving.
Ø
Secure
your EZ Road to the vehicle in such a way as to not endanger the
driver or passengers while driving or during operation.
Ø
Do not
use the EZ Road in any area (country, state, city, etc.) that prohibits the
use of electronic displays in motor vehicles.
Ø
GPS signals cannot pass through opaque solid materials. Overhead obstacles,
such as tall buildings, tunnels, highways, dense trees, and bad weather, can
effect signal reception. If the car’s window tint contains metallic material, GPS
signal cannot pass through.
Ø
Cordless phones, radar detectors, satellite radio receivers, and other wireless
devices may interfere with GPS reception or result in poor GPS reception
quality.
Ø
Navigation maps may contain errors and omissions or may be out-of-date with
recent road changes or conditions.
Please be attentive
to roadway signage,
all posted roadway information, and the condition of the road itself.
Ø
GPS positioning is intended for use as a reference, not for precise
measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. Routes generated
by Ostia are only recommendations for personal use.
