The navigation system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes into
consideration. Road closures, roadworks, height and weight restrictions, traffic and
weather conditions, or other factors that can influence the safety and the journey time
of the route are not taken into consideration for the suggested routes. Use your own
judgement to check the suitability of the suggested routes. If required, use the
“Change Route” function to calculate alternatives to the original route. Alternatively
take the road you prefer and the software will automatically perform a re-routing (i.e.
calculate a new route based on your new position).
In certain areas, one-way streets, turning restrictions and no entry signs (e.g. pedestri-
an zones) cannot be accounted for. In such situations, pay particular attention to the
road signs and rules of the road that apply.
If you need the help of the emergency services (police, fire, ambulance, etc.), do not
rely exclusively on the navigation system. Act in a way that you consider to be suitable
and sensible in order to receive help in such a situation.
Do not subject the navigation system to high temperatures or extreme exposure to
sunlight. Temperatures over 50 °C can severely damage the navigation system, espe-
cially the lithium ion battery. The battery should only be charged if someone is moni-
toring the device. Do not open the battery with force as this may release corrosive
acids. Damaged batteries or batteries that are past their expiry date should no longer
be used and should be disposed of in a safe and suitable way.
Never expose the navigation system to humidity as this can result in damage. It is es-
pecially important to protect the navigation system from getting wet if you are on a
motorcycle, bicycle or in a convertible car. This is because the device is not splash-
proof.
Avoid touching the screen with sharp or rough-edged objects as these can damage the
sensitive touchscreen display.
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based system that supports geographical
and time-related information all around the world. The system is operated and con-
trolled by the United States of America. The USA is also responsible for the availability
and accuracy of this system. All changes to the GPS availability and accuracy as well as
other factors from the surrounding environment can influence the operation of the
navigation system. SVDO Trading GmbH does not accept any liability whatsoever for
the availability and accuracy of GPS data.
Please ensure that every person intending to use the navigation system reads this safe-
ty information and the recommendations for operating the system beforehand.
Before attaching the mount to the front windscreen, you should clean, with the cloth
provided or benzene, the area of the windscreen that you wish to stick the suction cup
to. This is to remove grease and dust from the area.
Differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures and/or humidity and mois-
ture can break the vacuum seal under the suction cup of the mount. Therefore you
should attach the navigation system so that it will not cause any damage if it fell off
the windscreen. As a precautionary measure, you should detach the navigation system
at night.
Furthermore, if you plan to leave the vehicle unattended for a long period of time,you
should remove the navigation system from the vehicle in order to avoid theft.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Please do not use any cleaning agents or detergents to clean the screen and case of
the device. The best method is to use a soft, damp cloth.
