Warnings and Notices

z For your safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.

z Use this product with caution. The product is a navigation aid. It does not

provide exact measurements of direction, distance, location or topography.

z The calculated route is for reference only. Always follow the posted traffic

signs, speed limits and road restrictions.

z When you leave your car, do not leave your device on the dashboard in direct

sunlight. This can cause the battery to overheat and malfunction.

z 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.

z 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.

z 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).

z Other wireless devices in the vehicle may interfere with the reception of

satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.

vii

z 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.

1.2 Performing the Initial Start Up

1. Using a pointed pen, slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

CAUTION: Always leave the ON/OFF switch in the ON position for normal operation.

2. Fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.

3. Your device will turn on and display the Home screen.

4

1.3 Connecting to AC Power and Charging the

Battery

When charging the battery for the very first time, you should charge it for at least

8 hours.

1. Slide and click the AC converter onto the AC adapter.

2. Connect the adapter cable to the bottom of your device.

3. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.

The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Do not

disconnect your device from AC power until the battery is fully charged, when the

charge indicator turns green. Charging may take a few hours.

NOTE:

z Do not immediately turn on your device after connecting the AC adapter to charge a

power-depleted battery. Wait for at least one minute.

z Depending on your region of purchase, the AC converter may not look exactly the same

as the picture shown.

z Your device can also be charged when it is connected to a desktop computer via the USB

cable.

5

CAUTION: For optimal performance of the lithium battery:

z Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).

z There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can charge the battery

before it is discharged.

z When storing the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the battery at

least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the charging

performance.

1.4 Using Your Device in a Vehicle

A device holder, car charger, and TMC antenna are supplied with your device.

Using the Device Holder

CAUTION:

z Select an appropriate location for the device holder. Never place the holder where the

driver’s field of vision is blocked.

z If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna (optional) may

be needed to route the antenna to the top of the car through a window. When closing the

car window, be careful not to pinch the antenna cable. (Cars with an anti-jam window

design may automatically leave adequate space as needed.)

The device holder consists of a bracket and a

stand. Use the device holder to mount your device

in a vehicle. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a

clear view of the sky. (See the document supplied

with the device holder for the installation

instruction.)

To initialize the GPS, remain stationary at a spot

with a clear view of the sky. This may take a few

minutes. Once initialized, the GPS will take a few

seconds to find its current location.

NOTE: Depending upon the specific model purchased, the device holder supplied with your

device may not look exactly the same as the picture shown.

6

Connecting the Car Charger

The car charger supplies power to your device when you are using the device in a

car.

CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car charger

only after the car engine has been started.

1. Connect one end of the car charger to the power connector of your device.

2. Connect the other end to the 12-volt cigarette lighter or power port to power

and charge your device. The indicator light on the car charger lights in green

to indicate that power is being supplied to your device.

To Cigarette Lighter

7

Connecting the TMC Antenna

TMC antenna allows you to receive radio transmissions that are used to inform

drivers of traffic, weather, and other driving conditions.

Connect one end of the TMC antenna to the TMC connector on your device and

secure the other end in the topmost corner of the windshield.

The Traffic data feed is a paid subscription service. Your new device comes with a

free 90-day trial of the Total Traffic Network service. The trial begins the first

time you acquire a location fix. At or near the end of the 90-day trial period you

will be prompted to a website to extend your subscription for a fee.

TMC information is monitored by the navigation software. Once the information

is received, you can view it on your device and traffic icons will appear in the map

view. Certain roads with reported traffic will be highlighted and you can choose to

avoid those roads and an alternate route will be automatically calculated. (See the

navigation software manual for detailed information.)

NOTE: The TMC information is not available everywhere. It is supported in most major

metropolitan areas. Check our website for exact locations.
