User Manual
FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the 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 equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the GPS unit.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
IC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference, and
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
IC Caution
Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by Rand McNally could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of satellites that a GPS receiver uses to calculate geographical positions. To determine a position, data from at least three satellites is required. To determine elevation, the data from four or more satellites is required. Accuracy of the positioning varies from 10 feet to several hundred feet, depending on vehicle placement and the surrounding environment.
Geographical terrain (such as mountains), man-made structures (such as highway overpasses, bridges, and tall buildings), as well as weather can interfere with the GPS signal. For best GPS reception, position the device and mount with a clear line of sight to the sky. Some vehicles may have a limited view of the sky due to metal sun shields or a metallized windshield coating.
Map data includes the geographical coordinates for address locations and points of interest (POIs). With GPS reception, your device calculates a route to your selected location.

Helpful Tips on Entering Addresses
Auto-Complete Feature:
Enter the first few characters in a name and a short list displays a couple of names that start with the typed characters.
On the keyboard, the only keys available are for the next valid characters in a search name.
Continue entering characters until the searched-for name displays in the list. Tap on the name to select it.
Cities:
Some cities with common names such as "Athens" have several types of names associated with a city.
If a name does not display, continue typing characters until the name you are looking for displays in the list.
Streets:
If the next letter in the street name can not be selected on the keyboard, tap Expand Search to search a greater area.
The Expand Search button can also help locate addresses that may actually be in a different town, spelled slightly differently, or in a neighboring town.
Note: If you're entering a State or County Route, it's typically best to first either enter the State or County initials (for example, State Road 535 would be entered as "SR") but you may also need to try other options, such as "State Road" or "CA" for California, for example.
