ⓐ Effective route planning prior to beginning each journey is recommended. If you need to setup a new itinerary while en route, find an absolutely safe place in which to do so, or drive to a parking site first. For your own safety, do not operate the product while driving. ⓑ The product is intended to be used only as a navigation aid, not as a precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. Because calculated routes and voice guidance are for reference only and may be different from the actual road circumstances, it is the user’s responsibility to follow traffic signs, road layout and local regulations above all else. ⓒ When you get out of the car, please do not leave your device on the dashboard in direct sunlight, since an overheated battery can cause malfunction and/or hazard. Use the product within the recommended operational temperature range (0’C ~ 50’C), and do not expose it to excess heat or cold. ⓓ GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials other than glass. So when you are inside a tunnel or a building or in case of metallic windshield, GPS positioning may not be available. Likewise, signal reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or dense overhead cover such as trees. Similarly, wireless devices may interfere with satellite signals, causing variable signal reception. ⓔ Look at the display only when it is absolutely safe to do so.

When you first turn your device on, the home screen appears as shown here. At the top right corner you can see a battery-status indicator, together with the actual percentage of charge remaining, whilst the time clock is at the top left corner. For the main menus, there is first a group of the six most frequently used buttons (NAVI, MUSIC, MOVIE, PICTURE, GPS & BRIGHTNESS), which appear in the centre, and then when you click the down arrow button on the right hand side, three more (TIME SET, CALIBRATE, & ABOUT) come up. Each button represents a software feature (NAVI, MUSIC, MOVIE or PICTURE) or a setting-related function (GPS, BRIGHTNESS, TIMESET, CALIBRATE or ABOUT); to access one of them, just tap the corresponding button. Remember to press the TIBO knob button whenever you jump back to the Home Screen or step back to an upper-level screen. The following sections describe these nine buttons. 6.1 Overview 6. A Look at the Home Screen Page_10
6.2 Navigation 6. A Look at the Home Screen Page_11 This function guides you to your final destination by voice prompts and a mapping screen, showing crossroads, city names and much more. It also provides various map-guiding modes and the approximate time left to your destination. For your safety, it also lets you know when to make a turn, by means of a blinking lamp on the left/right side. Pop into the Navi menu and wait for the navigation program to load all the necessary data. Soon a digital map will appear before your eyes. For further information regarding navigation usage, refer to the separate quick-guide book dedicated to the map application, or the full-version user manual contained in the SW CD provided with the TIBO navigation package.
6.3 Music 6. A Look at the Home Screen Page_12 Thanks to this program, you can listen to your favorite music while driving. Since the MP3 browser has been pre-installed, you just need to download and save your favorite songs. When stepping into the Music menu, you will find a complete digital MP3 player in your device. The upper part of the player has a play list from which you can select, and also a music slider which helps you to select the point where you want the music to start, by dragging the square button to the right. There are more buttons in the lower part. In order from the left side: backwards, play-and-pause and, lastly, playback (the cycle-symbol button) to repeat the current file. In addition, a scroll bar and on/off switch are provided, the former for volume control and the latter for sound-on and sound-off.
6.4 Movie 6. A Look at the Home Screen Page_13 How about enjoying some movies right inside your car? Go for it! - all you have to do is download movie files to the extra storage. After tapping the Movie button on the Home screen, select an item you want to play by nudging the up or down arrow button. Once you are ready, simply hit the Play button. Now you can feel just as if you are inside some kind of movie theater. During movie screening, if you have missed a scene and want to go back to a certain point, all you have to do is to touch the screen. The screen will freeze so that you can manipulate the slider to jump from one part of the movie to another. Touching the screen once again will unfreeze the screen. * Supported format: MPEG4
6.5 Picture 6. A Look at the Home Screen Page_14 You want to take your precious pictures of home and family with you, everywhere you go? Just save them and play this menu – you will get endless pleasure from it. To enjoy it, tap the ‘Picture’ menu and you will see a frame with an image on the left and playing buttons on the right. The left arrow button leads you to a previous image while the right arrow button leads to the next one. If you want to see a picture in full-screen mode, just touch the screen, and everything will disappear except the picture, making your device look like a photo frame. Further, the plus button enables you to add the present image to your special photo album, and the ‘My’ button actually takes you to another screen for an album that is full of your favorite collection. The first two buttons at the top function the same as in the previous screen, but the two below act differently. The X button totally deletes the image from the album and the double right arrow button has the same result as touching the screen – i.e. it makes an image full size.
6.6 GPS 6. A Look at the Home Screen Page_15 If your Navi appears to be unstable, please check the satellite acquisition signals received by the GPS antenna; tapping into the “GPS” menu and resetting the GPS status may help you to rectify the situation. Once you get into the second screen, you will find something like a GPS dashboard. There, ‘State’ gives the overall performance of the GPS antenna in terms of acquiring satellite signals, where V means failure and 2D/3D means success. ‘Satellite’ tells you which satellite signals are acquired (by the device’s antenna) from all that are available. PDOP is an abbreviation of Positional Dilution of Precision, HDOP of Horizontal Dilution of Precision and VDOP of Vertical Dilution of Precision. The numerical values for these three are literally ‘the smaller, the better’. At the bottom, you can see cells with unique numbers in them, which represent the respective satellites, and graphic bars with figures below them, which show the current detailed status in obtaining a signal from each satellite. If you want to start afresh, tap the Reset button. The GPS antenna will start all over again. When you change of area, it is recommended to press on the reset button.
6.7 Brightness 6. A Look at the Home Screen Page_16 Initially your device has the backlight set to a default setting. However, according the time of day – daytime or nighttime - or other physical conditions or personal needs, you can select the most suitable navigation view, at the most comfortable level, by adjusting the brightness of the screen. Once you customize it, the settings will remain till the next change. To open the BRIGHTNESS screen, tap the ‘BRIGHTNESS’ button on the home screen. Three icons will appear there, each indicating a different degree of brightness; the one at the left provides the darkest LCD, the one in the middle gives a moderately lit LCD, and the one at the right produces the brightest LCD screen. By tapping, just choose whichever you wish. If you are completely satisfied with the change you have made in the brightness setting, just touch the OK button on the screen – unless, that is, you want to undo the change by clicking ‘Cancel ’.
6.8 Time Setting Page_17 When you are traveling around, you will be better off taking advantage of the time-setting function based on your present location, for the sake of convenience. To set the time, tap the TIME SET button. Then you will see an up arrow over the first set of double figures, and a down arrow under them; these will increase or decrease the ‘hours’. Likewise, up/down arrows over/under the next two single-digit figures - in the same way as before – alter the minutes. In addition, you will find a small AM (or PM) section; tapping it will toggle between the two. When you have completely finished setting the time, just touch the OK button on the screen, unless you want to undo the setting by nudging ‘Cancel ’. 6. A Look at the Home Screen
6.9 Calibration Page_18 If the touch screen of your device doesn’t seem to work correctly - not responding accurately to your stylus taps - you can adjust it with CALIBRATE, the screen-measuring function. After this adjustment, the LCD display screen may be able to perform and react correctly. To begin the calibration, tap and hold the center of the target. When the target moves to another position, tap and hold again. Repeat the same step to complete the adjustment. Once the calibration is complete, a new screen with a message starting “New calibration settings have been measured” will appear. If you feel OK with the changed settings, just touch the screen. Otherwise, press the TIBO button to return to the original menu. 6. A Look at the Home Screen

If you want to figure out what the other menus are all about, just keep tapping the up or down arrow buttons. 6. A Look at the Home Screen
