• Do not modify the unit.

• Do not disassemble the unit except when disposing of it.

• Do not use the navigation system with the system covered or blocked. When using the unit indoorsUse this product near a wall outlet. This is to ensure that the power plug can be immediately unplugged from the wall outlet to power off if some abnormality occurs during use. Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture. On handling

• Do not let foreign objects get inside the cradle connector (9) of the unit, as it may cause a malfunction. continue to next page t6

• Turn the unit off by pressing ?/1 (4), take it out of the cradle, then disconnect the car battery adapter, otherwise it may drain the car battery. Note the following. If your car’s cigarette lighter socket is not connected to the 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 (car battery adapter, AC power adapter, etc.) other than those supplied or optional.

• Do not expose the unit to fire or water, as it may cause a malfunction.

• 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 ºC (41 – 113 ºF).

• Do not leave the unit in high ambient temperature as the built-in battery capacity will deteriorate, or it will become unchargeable. On GPS GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites continuously emit signals for positioning anywhere on the earth. As a GPS aerial receives these signals, users can be informed of their location (latitude, longitude and altitude). Information must be received from 3 satellites in order to obtain two-dimensional fixes (latitude and longitude), and 4 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 meters (a few feet) and 10 meters (32.8 feet) exists. As a result, the GPS navigation system may include an error of between 10 meters (32.8 feet) and about 200 meters (656.2 feet), depending on the circumstances. As GPS information is obtained using signal from satellites, it may be impossible or difficult to obtain the information in the following locations:

• Tunnel or underground7

• Between high buildings

• Between tall trees with dense foliage After the initial installation, park your car in a safe, open place (no high buildings, etc.) for up to 20 minutes to allow for GPS signals to be received before using the navigation system. Note It takes time to receive a GPS signal when switching the unit ON after switching OFF the main power, after the built-in battery is fully discharged, or after resetting the unit. On this positioning system The system has a function that allows the car’s current 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. In this case, use the optional External GPS Antenna.

• Depending on the conditions, the car’s current 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. On the software Read the “END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT” carefully before use.8 Location of controls Read the explanations below while referring to the illustrations on the flap.
