On handling

• Do not let foreign objects get inside the connector of the unit, as it may cause a malfunction.
• When the unit is not in use, turn it off by pressing I/O (1)/sliding I/O (1). Remove the unit from the cradle, then disconnect the car battery adapter, otherwise battery drain may result. Note the following:

If your car's cigarette lighter socket is not connected to ACC on your ignition switch, power will continue to be supplied to the unit's built-in power supply even when the ignition is off or the unit is not in use.

• Do not connect any accessory other than those supplied or optional.
• Do not expose the unit to fire or water, as it may cause malfunction.
• To disconnect a cable, pull it out by grasping the plug, not the cable.
• Be sure to remove the unit out of the car when leaving your car to prevent theft or high temperature damage inside the car.
  Note that the built-in battery cannot be charged outside the temperature range 5 - 45^ (41-113 F).
• Do not leave the unit in high ambient temperature as the built-in battery capacity will deteriorate, or will become unchargeable.

On GPS

As GPS information is obtained from satellites, it may be impossible or difficult to obtain information in locations such as:

• Tunnel or underground
  Under a highway
• Between high buildings
• Between tall trees with dense foliage

Note

GPS signal reception may be poor depending on the material of the car's windscreen.

On the positioning system (POSITION plus) (NV-U93T/U83 only)

The system has a function that allows the current car position to be correctly displayed even at locations where the GPS signal is temporarily interrupted or poorly received, as when going under an overpass.

To activate this function, do the following:

• Attach the unit to the cradle.
• Drive for a while in an area where the GPS signal is clearly received.

The positioning system will become ready for operation after you have driven a little with the unit on.

Notes

• The accuracy of this function may deteriorate if the unit is installed near a heated or heat-reflecting windscreen.
• Depending on the conditions, the current car position or the movement may not be accurately displayed. This, however, will be corrected as soon as the GPS signal reception resumes.
• This function is available only during route guidance.

Troubleshooting

The following checklist will help you remedy problems you may encounter with your unit. Before going through the checklist below, check the connection and operating procedures.

General

The unit does not turn on.

Charge the built-in battery.
Check that the car battery adapter is securely inserted into the cigarette lighter socket.

The built-in battery cannot be charged.

Turn on the unit, then turn off the unit.
If the car battery adapter is being used, disconnect it from the cigarette lighter socket, then reconnect.
The built-in lithium-ion battery can be charged at temperatures between 5 - 45^ (41 - 113^) . The battery may not be charged if the temperature inside the unit increases because of direct sunlight exposure, etc. This is not a malfunction.
Turn on the computer during USB charge. Note that the CHG indicator 7/3 may light up in green in the computer standby mode, even though the built-in battery is not fully charged.

GPS signal cannot be received.

Firstly, read the GPS overview (page 6), then check the GPS status by selecting "More..." in the top menu "GPS Status."

• The system cannot receive GPS signals due to an obstruction.
  Move your car to a place where signals can be received clearly.
• There is an obstacle in front of the GPS aerial.
  Install the unit where the signal is not interrupted by the body of the car, etc.
• GPS signal reception may be poor depending on the material of the car's windscreen.
  Use the optional External GPS Antenna VCA-42. (NV-U73T/U53 only)

The car position on the map does not match the current road.

The error margin of the signal from the GPS satellites is too large. A maximum error margin of a few hundred metres can exist.

Voice guidance cannot be heard.

The volume is set too low.

Raise the volume (page 12).

The LCD is not displayed normally.

• In high temperatures, the LCD may darken and not display clearly. In low temperatures, afterimage may occur on the LCD. These are not malfunctions, and the LCD will return to normal when the temperature returns to within the specified operating range.

The LCD is dark.

The auto dimmer function may be activated because its sensor 5 (page 8)/4 (page 8) is covered by a hand, etc.

The cradle comes off the attachment surface.

Attachment strength weakens if the surface of the suction cup or attachment surface becomes dirty.

Clean the surface of the suction cup and the attachment surface with a soft, wet lint-free cloth (page 17).

The demonstration mode starts automatically even if no operation is performed.

Turn off the auto demonstration mode by selecting "More..." in the top menu "Settings" "General Settings" "Demo Mode." Then, confirm that "Demo Mode" is set to off.
