Using your VXA-5000/4300 safely

The precautions and instructions stated in this Guide shall be executed in the English language. In the event

of any discrepancy between the English language original hereof and any translation hereof into any other

language, the English language original shall govern.

Driving precautions

When using the device in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe

manner. It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws. Failure to follow the directions below could result in

death or catastrophic bodily injury to you or to others.

•Do not attempt to enter information or configure the device while driving. If you need to do so, safely pull out of

the traffic and come to a stop at a safe location before using your device.

•Vehicle operators must maintain full surveillance of pertinent driving conditions at all times. Minimize the need to

view the device screen while driving and use voice prompts to guide you.

•Never place the device on the passenger seat or any place in the car where it can become a projectile during a

collision or stop.

•An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT mount the device in the area over the air bag or in the air bag

deployment area.

•Although reasonable attempt has been made to ensure that the database in your VXA-5000/4300 is accurate, such

information may change from time to time. The VXA-5000/4300 database does not include any of the following:

Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions)

Road slope, bridge height, weight or other limits

Construction work zones or hazards; road closures, traffic conditions

Weather conditions

Emergency events

System configuration

Using your VXA-5000/4300 safely

It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal route suggestions. Your judgment and common

sense shall take precedence over any information that may be received through the use of your device.

Operating precautions

Device usage precautions

•Do not use your device anywhere it may be exposed to water or in conditions of high humidity.

•Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, which can occur in a vehicle under direct sunlight. Such

exposure can shorten the life of the device, damage the plastic housing and/or battery, and increase the risk of explosion.

•Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could result in moisture condensation

in the device that could cause damage to the device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow the device to

dry out completely.

•Do not leave the device unattended on an automobile dashboard. When your vehicle is parked and the device is

not in use, protect it from theft and extreme heat by storing it in an unobtrusive location and away from direct sunlight.

•The device is not a toy. Never allow children to play with the device.

•Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid crystal display. Contact with this liquid could cause a skin

rash. If the crystal display liquid should come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it immediately with clean water.

•Never raise the sound volume level too high when using the device with earphones. An excessive sound volume

level could cause damage to your hearing.

Car mount precautions

•Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device on the vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check the

local laws for applicable mounting before installing the car mount.

•Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield. This may in some

cases obstruct the GPS signal reception. If you encounter this problem in the vehicle, you need to purchase an

external GPS antenna.

System maintenance and user support

•The heating and cooling cycle of a vehicle's interior can loosen the adhesion of the suction cup. Check the vacuum seal

of the car mount for adequate adhesion each time you use the unit, and reinstall if necessary.

•If the car mount has problem staying on, clean the plastic suction cup with alcohol, then reinstall. Moistening the

suction cup may help adhesion in some cases.

•To avoid extreme temperature from damaging the car mount, remove the unit if the temperature inside your

vehicle exceeds 70°C (160°F).

•The dip in humidity and temperature at night can loosen the adhesion of the suction cup. For this reason, as well

as for security, it is recommended that you remove both the car mount kit and the VXA-5000/4300 when leaving

your vehicle overnight.

Storage precautions

•Do not store the device anywhere it may be exposed to water or in conditions of high humidity.

•When the device is not in use for an extended period of time, bring it indoor and store it in a location with

temperature range of -20°to +70°C (-40°to 140°F) .

Cleaning the VXA-5000/4300

•Use a damp soft dry cloth to wipe the device’s casing (not the display screen). Never use organic solvents such as

benzene or paint thinner to clean the device. Use of these solvents can cause deformation or discoloration.

•Use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to clean the display screen. Moistened LCD screen wipes could also be used as required.

Troubleshooting the VXA-5000/4300

Recalibrating the screen

If tapping an item doesn’t bring up the appropriate response, it means your device has lost its calibration. Recalibrate

the screen.

Resetting the VXA-5000/4300

You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds to the buttons on the screen). A

soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. This will restart your device and

adjust memory allocation. All records and entries are retained after a soft reset. GPS settings are also retained.

To perform a soft reset:

•Hold the device securely, and then press the

RESET

button on the bottom of the device.

Resetting the GPS function

In the following circumstances, the TTFF (Time To Fix First) values of your VXA-5000/4300 may be longer than usual.

•After a long period of inactivity

•If the current GPS fix position is more than 500 km, or more than 12 hours apart, from the previous position

This is due to the nature of the GPS algorithm and rotational velocitybetween the satellites and planet Earth, and is

deemed normal. To correct this, perform a GPS reset. This will update the GPS database, which contains information

about the GPS satellites that the unit needs to function in navigation mode.

To load the factory default settings:

1. Tap on the

Main Menu

panel.

2. Tap on the

System

panel.

3. Tap GPS Reset on the

Question

Why is it that sometimes my device

takes longer than 5 minutes to get

a GPS fix?

How do I acquire a GPS fix within

standard time frame (about 1 GPS

minute in general)?

How do I check the OS version of

my device?

How do I restore the system back

to its default factory settings?

Does performing a factory reset

means a GPS reset as well?

What should I do if the system

stops functioning normally?

I couldn’t turn on the device.

Answer

If the previous GPS fix position was more than 500 km

or 12 hours apart from your current position and time,

it will take significantly longer than the standard TTFF

time to get a GPS fix. This is due to the nature of the

GPS algorithm and rotational velocity between the

satellites and planet Earth, and deemed normal and is

not the fault of your VXA-5000/4300 device.
