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 lithium ion battery can only be charged within a
temperature range of 0-45 °C. Please note the safety instructions when operating the
battery! In many countries it is forbidden to dispose of empty batteries with normal
household waste. Please find out the regulations that apply in your area regarding the
disposal of used batteries.
The battery should only be charged if someone is monitoring the device. Do not open
the battery with force as this may release corrosive acids. Damaged batteries or bat-
teries 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
especially 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. The supplier of this system 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 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.
