On handling • Do not let foreign objects get inside the connector of the unit, as it may cause malfunction. • When the unit is not in use, turn it off by pressing ?/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. • If the cradle is left attached for a long time, the suction cup may leave a mark on the windshield/dashboard. Be sure to detach the cradle from the windshield/dashboard when it is not being used. • Detach and reattach the cradle regularly to maintain the attachment strength of the suction cup. • 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 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 windshield. On the battery discharge mode If the unit's internal temperature becomes excessive, it enters battery discharge mode and automatically reduces the charge capacity to protect the battery. In this case, the unit turns on (display remains off), even while not in use. On the software Read the End-User License Agreement carefully before use.
