Important notice
To avoid the risk of injury or accident, read the
following warning before installing and
operating the unit.
On safety
• Observe actual traffic regulations, such as one-
way streets, while driving with the route
guidance.
• Comply with your local traffic laws and
regulations.
• Do not watch the unit while driving. It is
dangerous and may cause a traffic accident.
• For your safety, the warning message is
displayed. After reading the warning message,
select “Accept,” then press
(OK)
to confirm
that you understand.
• For your safety, do not mount or remove the
unit from the holder while driving.
• When mounting the unit in the holder, remove
any supplied accessories, such as USB cable,
etc. from the unit. They may fall or their cables
may interfere with driving, causing a traffic
accident or injury.
• Be sure to take the unit out of the car when
leaving your car to prevent theft or high
temperature damage inside the car.
• When the car battery adaptor is not in use,
disconnect it from the cigarette lighter socket,
as battery drain may still occur even with
ignition OFF.
• Do not place anything other than the specified
the unit in the holder.
• Do not allow any liquid or foreign objects to
enter the unit.
• Do not use any car battery adaptor or AC power
adaptor other than the ones supplied.
• Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
On installation
• Before installing the unit, please check your
local traffic laws and regulations.
• Make sure you install the unit properly
according to the installation instructions.
Improper installation may result in a fire or an
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 battery to drain or a short circuit.
• For information about the polarity, battery
voltage and location of the airbag of your car,
please consult your car dealer.
• Do not damage any pipes, tubes, the fuel tank
or electric wiring when installing the unit, as a
fire or accident may result. If you drill a hole in
car panels, make sure that any hidden car parts
will not be damaged.
• Do not use any nuts or bolts for critical devices
such as steering linkage, fuel supply or braking
systems. This can cause a fire or an accident.
• Take care to prevent the cords and wires from
getting tangled or crimped in the moving
portion of a seat rail.
Installing location
• Do not install the holder where:
– it will obstruct the driver’s view when the
holder is mounted in the car, or the unit is in
the holder.
– it will obstruct the operation of the airbag
system.
– it will obstruct the operation of the vehicle,
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 holder to the
car securely.
On GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
continuously emit signals for positioning
anywhere on the earth. As a GPS aerial 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 metres
(a few feet) and 10 metres (32.8 ft) exists. As a
result, the GPS navigation system may include
an error of between 10 metres (32.8 ft) and about
200 metres (656.2 ft), 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
