driving, causing a traffic accident or injury.
• When your CLIÉ handheld is mounted in the
car cradle, be sure not to insert or remove the
“Memory Stick” media.
• Be sure to take your CLIÉ handheld out of the
car when leaving your car to prevent theft or

please consult your car dealer.
• Do not damage any pipes, tubes, the fuel tank
or electric wiring when installing the unit, as
a fire or accident may result. If you drill a
hole in car panels, make sure that any hidden
car parts will not be damaged.
• Do not use any nuts or bolts for critical
devices such as steering linkage, fuel supply
or braking systems. This can cause a fire or
an accident.
• Take care to prevent the cords and wires from
getting tangled or crimped in the moving
portion of a seat rail.
• Do not use any car battery adapter other than
the one supplied.
Installing location
• Do not install the car cradle where:
– It will obstruct the driver’s view when the
car cradle is mounted in the car, or your
CLIÉ handheld is in the car cradle.
– It will obstruct the operation of the airbag
system.
– It will obstruct the operation of the
vehicle, especially the steering wheel,
shift lever, or brake pedal.
– It will be subjected to heat/high

About GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
continuously emit signals for positioning on
the Earth. As a GPS antenna receives these
signals, users can be informed of their
location (latitude, longitude and altitude)
anywhere on the Earth. Information must be
received from three satellites in order to
obtain two-dimensional fixes (altitude and
longitude), and four satellites are required for
three-dimensional positioning (latitude,
longitude and altitude). As GPS satellites are
controlled by the U.S. Department of
Defense, a deliberate margin of error
between a few feet (a few meters) and 30 feet
(10 meters) exists. As a result, the GPS
navigation system may include an error of
between 30 feet (10 meters) and about 700
feet (200 meters), depending on the
circumstances.
As GPS information is obtained using signal
from satellites, it may be impossible or
difficult to obtain the information when using
the system in the following locations:
Tunnel or underground
Under a highway
Between high buildings
Between tall trees with dense
foliage
