Pharos Drive GPS 140 Introduction Pharos Warnings and Notices For your safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving. Warning: Try not to expose the Drive GPS 140 to extreme temperatures for long periods of time. 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. FCC Warning The Drive GPS 140 PND has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. 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). Other wireless devices in the vehicle may interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable. Adapter Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.

Chapter 2 Getting Started Pharos Figure 4: Drive GPS 140 mounting cradle with slots for car mount 2.2 Mounting the Drive GPS 140 in your vehicle The Drive GPS 140 comes with a car mount kit and a car charger to help install your device in your vehicle. The car mount kit uses a suction cup on the windshield to offer flexible mounting options for the Drive GPS 140 Warning: Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device on the vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before installing the car mount bracket. Please check all local laws before setting up the navigation device in any vehicle. Occassionally, GPS signal reception is obstructed when the device is mounted in the car. In this case, an external GPS antenna is needed to connect to the device. The antenna connector is located at the top back part of the Drive GPS 140. 2.2.1 To set up the device on your vehicle: This section shows how to install the car mount kit in your vehicle’s windshield using the suction cup. The Drive GPS 140 uses a snap on mounting cradle to use when the device attaches to the car mount. Below is the backside view of the Drive GPS 140 in the cradle.

Table 5: Car mounting No. Component Cradle plate Rotate Adjust Horizontal Rotate Adjust Vertical Main bracket Suction cup locking lever Suction cup 7 Suction cup release tab Pharos Drive GPS 140 Using the mounting bracket. Clean the mounting surface with a glass cleaner and a clean cotton cloth. If the ambient temperature is below +15°C (60°F), you can warm the mounting area and the suction cup (e.g. with a hair dryer) to ensure a strong suction bond. Install the car mount on the selected area. a. Fix the suction cup to the selected area with the locking lever facing up for easier access. b. Flip the locking lever away from you to create a vacuum between the suction cup and the window surface. Make sure that the suction is strong and stable before proceeding to the next step. Slide the Drive GPS 140 cradle bracket onto the device connector mount. After you are sure the mounting bracket is safe and secure, attach the Drive GPS 140 into its cradle bracket. It snaps in easily with the quick release connectors. Adjust the car mount for the best viewing angle. Connect the car charger into the cigarette lighter receptacle. The car charger LED indicator will glow blue when powered. Plug the car charger into the side of the Drive GPS 140 and position the cord to an appropriate location. NOTE: Your car may be required to switch the vehicle ignition into the accessories position to power the cigarette lighter. Your Drive GPS 140 will not charge with the ignition off.
