Warnings and Notices

� For your safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving. � Use this product with caution. The product is a navigation aid. It does not provide exact measurements of direction, distance, location or topography. � The calculated route is for reference only. Always follow the posted traffic signs, speed limits and road restrictions. � Do not leave your device in a car under direct sunlight, without air-condition, or without adequate ventilation. This can cause the device to overheat and malfunction. � When the device is overheated, be sure to remove it right away from the overheated area and place it to a place with cool air. Once the device gets back to its normal temperature, it can start functioning again. � The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its performance. Any change to the GPS system can affect the accuracy of all GPS equipment world-wide. � GPS satellite signals cannot typically pass through solid materials (except glass). GPS location information is not typically available inside buildings, tunnels, or underground parking lots. � A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to calculate your GPS position. Signal reception can be affected by weather events or overhead obstacles (e.g. dense foliage and tall buildings). � Other wireless devices in the vehicle may interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.

� A device holder is needed when using the device in a car. Be sure to place the

device in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver’s view, or deployment of airbags. Do not mount where the driver’s field of vision is blocked. Do not place on the dashboard unsecured. Do not mount in front of airbag panels. Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment.
