3. The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. When
the battery is fully charged, the indicator turns green.
NOTE:
z If your Mio is on when connected to a computer, a screen appears to
prevent you from using your Mio.
z When the Mio is connected to a computer, it is recognized as an external
mass storage device. Do not delete any files pre-installed in the Mio.
Deleting files of which the function is unknown can cause programs or
features to malfunction.
z If you intend to charge your Mio in this way, turn off your Mio so that it
takes less time to charge the battery.
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 Mio in a Vehicle
CAUTION: Select an appropriate location for mounting the Mio in a vehicle.
Never place the Mio where the driver’s field of vision is blocked. Make sure
that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky.
Using the Car Mount
Use the car mount to fix your Mio in a vehicle.
Connecting the Car Charger
CAUTION: To protect your Mio against sudden surges in current, connect
the car charger only after the car engine has been started.

2.2 Caring for Your Mio
Taking good care of your Mio will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce
the risk of damage to your Mio.
z Keep your Mio away from excessive moisture and extreme
temperatures.
z Avoid exposing your Mio to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time.
z Do not place anything on top of your Mio or drop objects on your Mio.
z Do not drop your Mio or subject it to severe shock.
z Do not subject your Mio to sudden and severe temperature changes.
This could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could
damage your Mio. In the event of moisture condensation, allow the Mio
to dry out completely before use.
z The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with
sharp objects. Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed
specifically for use on portable devices with LCD panels may be used
to help protect the screen from minor scratches.
z Never clean your Mio with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to
wipe the screen and the exterior of your Mio.
z Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
z Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to
your Mio. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could
cause damage to your Mio and even bodily injury or property damage
and will void any warranty.
z Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in
the same compartment as your Mio, its parts or accessories.
