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

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.
vi
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.

7.3 Maintaining Your Device
Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the
risk of damage to your device.
z Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
z Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time.
z Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device.
z Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
z Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This
could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your
48
device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow the device to dry out
completely before use.
z Take care not to sit on the device. We advise not to carry the device in one’s
back pocket for that reason.
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
